Fantasy Justifier²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: R Harris| OR: 60| BF| D

8/1

Three times a winner early in his career and in decent form at the moment, beaten favourite here last month over slightly shorter and draw no help this time.

Form: 999325

Frank Cool²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: R Winston| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| D

5/2

Opened his account at the eighth time of asking when scoring over 6f at Lingfield back in April, just five starts on turf and ran a blinder in second over C&D last month (good to soft). 3lb higher but could improve again.

Form: 331202

Wild Flower²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: J C Fox| OR: 58| D

9/2

Gained both wins in 33-race career this season, though they have arrived over 6f and on good to firm ground. Has run well on good to soft before, 5lb higher than previous win mark though.

Form: 621316

Mags Well⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L P Keniry| T: G Deacon| OR: 59

14/1

Drops to the minimum trip for the first time in her short career, but this hasn't looked like an obvious move of late and she may lack the speed to land a blow here.

Form: 0-70494

Head Space^v¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson⁽⁷⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 55| D

25/1

Veteran of more than 100 starts, winning seven times. No win over this trip since 2014, and has been struggling now for a while. Others are readily preferred.

Form: 340603

Fleeting Glimpse⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 54| D

16/1

Filly gained first win over 6f on AW at Kempton in April from a mark of 55. Rarely threatened to get another since joining this yard and now drops back to this trip for the first time.

Form: 469055

Evening Starlight²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S J Drowne| T: R J Hodges| OR: 53| D

12/1

Both wins in her career to date were gained over 6f on the AW at Lingfield, but her losing run continues to lengthen. Slightly better when beaten 2L in five runner race here last time but hard to fancy in this field.

Form: 845884

Candelaria^v1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: S W Kelly| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 50

20/1

Very rare runner in these colours to contest sprint races, but his form is poor and not hard to overlook on this occasion. Beaten 8L over similar trip around here latest, sports first-time visor here.

Form: 5-80876

(11)

Picc And Go¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Fahy| T: Mat Salaman| OR: 48

33/1

Very little promise shown in four starts so far, two of them over the trip at this track, met softer ground last time at Chepstow and no improvement. Not hard to overlook on form.

Form: 6487

(15)

Triple Dream¹⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 8-7| J: Ryan Powell| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45| CD

20/1

Now 12-years-old and no turf win since 2013, did produce decent effort to be second over 6f on AW at Wolverhampton two starts back and, if replicating that, finds himself racing from 13lb lower on this surface. Wide draw to overcome as well as age.

Form: 63-3527

Bingo George^b1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: M G Rimell| OR: 45

7/1

Formerly with Andrew Balding, the Holy Roman Emperor gelding is still a maiden 20 races into his career. Effort last month at Thirsk would give him a squeak but probably doesn't want to see soft in the description.

Form: 380650

Blistering Dancer^b⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Mitch Godwin⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45| D

16/1

Poor handicapper at best who won at Thirsk in 2016 off a basement mark but has failed to score since and has shown very little spark this year, though shaped marginally better this week at Catterick over 6f.

Form: 350706

(14)

Diminutive^b²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: G Harris| OR: 45| D

20/1

Lives up to her name as she's not the biggest, but tries hard and ran a little better than her finishing position suggested recently at Chepstow. That still leaves her with a lot to find, however, and others make more appeal.

Form: 506747

(7)

Tisa River^t1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45

22/1

Form in maidens has been poor and offered little in the way of change in two handicaps at Wolverhampton (AW) and Windsor (good to firm) so far. Safe to leave alone unless there is significant market interest with tongue tie added.

Forecasts

Frank Cool (5/2), Wild Flower (9/2), Bingo George (7/1), Fantasy Justifier (8/1), Spirit Of Rosanna (8/1), Dontforgettocall (10/1), Evening Starlight (12/1), Mags Well (14/1), Fleeting Glimpse (16/1), Blistering Dancer (16/1), Malaysian Boleh (16/1), Diminutive (20/1), Candelaria (20/1), Triple Dream (20/1), Tisa River (22/1), Head Space (25/1), Picc And Go (33/1)

Frank Cool ran a blinder over C&D last month and could have more to offer from a 3lb higher mark given he's less exposed than most of these. This is a tough field however and plenty luck will be needed in the run. Fantasy Justifier was a beaten favourite here recently having shown some decent form prior, he now faces a tough draw while Fleeting Glimpse is on a decent mark if this drop in trip brings renewed enthusiasm. The old stager Triple Dream is thrown in should he replicate his Wolverhampton form of two starts back but it might be worth chancing SPIRIT OF ROSANNA who has run some useful races lately and is well drawn and just 3lb higher than previous winning mark now.
