My Lord¹⁹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss Michelle Bryant⁽⁵⁾| T: P Butler| OR: 59| D

50/1

Fairly ordinary handicapper even at his best and he's not been seen since the early part of the year when he turned in some moderate AW performances. Tried over a variety of trips so hard to know what to expect here and best watched.

Form: 38-8037

Knight Of The Air^t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Mrs Charlotte Pownall⁽⁷⁾| T: J Tuite| OR: 55

8/1

Went off far too hard on his last start with this rider on board although that was better than his recent efforts. Efforts over trips such as this before hardly inspire and it may well be that he finds this trip too far and is passed over here.

Form: 494604

Master Of Heaven^p⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss S Stevens⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 53| CD

15/2

A C&D winner earlier in the year backing up a win several weeks earlier on the AW at Chelmsford but found life too hard off higher mark after that. Did fare a little better on a recent start and now back down to his last winning mark.

Oceanus¹⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr R Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 58

9/2

Didn't run too badly on his first start for this yard over 1m2f at Yarmouth (travelled well) and ran to the same level on his next start. Is always going to look vulnerable to less-exposed sorts but there appear to be a dearth of those in this.

Form: 000-835

Dancing Dragon²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: George Baker| OR: 56

7/2

Remains a maiden and taking a look at her recent runs it's not that hard to see why. She may well have still looked a little green on handicap debut but showed signs of temperament last time and looked none too keen.

Form: 4-7057

(3)

Edge^b¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 50

6/4

A winner just over a year ago off a 4lb higher mark her last run signalled that she should run well here when taking the runner-up slot at Bath. Now with the assistance of one of the leading amateur riders he makes plenty of appeal in this weak event.

Form: 076532

(8)

Jazri^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Will Pettis⁽⁵⁾| T: J M Bradley| OR: 46| CD

14/1

Another one in this field who is hard to trust with both his recent runs looking rather half-hearted and weak at the finish and despite the basement mark he's not one to trust.

Rubheira¹⁷¹

Weight: 10-7| Age: 5

T: N P Mulholland J: Mr James King

Forecasts

Edge (6/4), Dancing Dragon (7/2), Oceanus (9/2), Master Of Heaven (15/2), Knight Of The Air (8/1), Jazri (14/1), My Lord (50/1), Rubheira (50/1)

Not a particularly strong end to the card and it probably presents EDGE with a chance to regain the winning thread now that he is partnered by Sarena Brotherton. Master Of Heaven has won over C&D and looks likely to provide the main challenge with Oceanus and Knight Of The Air offered up as a couple that could battle out the minor placings.
