Kodiline³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Jessica Cooley⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 82| CD

40/1

Won a 2-y-o maiden here for Clive Cox and generally respectable efforts in defeat subsequently, but ran poorly after a break at Newmarket last month, and has since changed hands.

Form: 0554-50

(4)

Lightning Charlie¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 82| D

6/1

Sole turf win came on quick ground at Ascot just over a year ago. Runner-up in corresponding event last time, and claims if building on that, but recent rain a concern.

Form: 449402

(8)

Human Nature^t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Milly Naseb⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 80| CD

8/1

Has won at this track, and on a range of going, so no concern about conditions, and hinted that his turn was near when second of 6 to Letmestopyouthere in similar event at Yarmouth last time. Should go close.

Form: 296862

(2)

Bahamian Dollar⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Katherine Begley⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 80| CD

8/1

Handles any ground and scored on heavy at Leicester in April. Bounced back from a rare poor effort when second at Nottingham last time, and reliable sort will likely give his running again.

Form: 153342

(9)

Gold Hunter^p¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 79| BF| D

18/1

Scored under this rider at Chepstow on penultimate outing (second win there), and ran creditably under a penalty there next time. Bit more required from revised mark, but respected in current heart.

Form: 00-7213

(15)

Red Alert³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 77| BF| D

18/1

Narrowly beaten over 6f at Newmarket in May, and back to that sort of form when second at Bath last time. Disappointed here in the interim, but that came in a much stronger contest.

Form: 1-66382

(14)

May Remain^t1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: P & O Cole| OR: 82

14/1

Not beaten far on return over 5f here, but that form hasn't worked out and he ran to just a similar level at Lingfield recently. Needs to raise his game in a first-time tongue tie.

Form: 2154-44

(6)

Turanga Leela²¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 76| D

33/1

Best when forcing pace, and has won twice at Chester since joining current yard. Ended last season in the doldrums, however, and needs to be at her very best on belated return.

Form: 684760-

(5)

Glory of Paris⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Ellie Mackenzie⁽⁷⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 76| D

13/2

Placed on heavy ground here and at Bath in April, but patchy form since, and well held the last twice. Possible return to softer ground will help, but others preferred.

Form: 224460

(12)

Met By Moonlight⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Megan Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: R J Hodges| OR: 75| D

20/1

Seemed to show much-improved form when winning by 11L at Bath on her penultimate start, but only third under a penalty at Goodwood, and is higher in the weights now. Opposable on balance.

Form: 452313

(1)

Han Solo Berger¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-2| J: Mrs Emily Roberts⁽⁷⁾| T: C F Wall| OR: 80| D

3/1

Soft ground winner for Keith Dalgleish, and shaped well for new yard when second over this trip at Kempton last time. Return to turf no issue, and one of the more interesting ones.

Form: 141-892

(10)

Vegas Boy¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Pte Alexandra Bell⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 77| D

8/1

Both wins have come at Chelmsford, but has shown an affinity for firm ground this summer, and good efforts when second at Bath and Salisbury this month. Needs to prove he can handle a softer surface now.

Form: 3-73522

(13)

Winklemann^p⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Miss Arabella Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 70

80/1

Sole win came in newcomers' event in Italy back in 2015 and can start slowly. Ran well enough here last time after a substantial break but, despite easing a further 2lb, he still looks high enough in the weights.

Form: 8/0678-3

(7)

Trotter^b¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: W S Kittow| OR: 69| D

22/1

Only win to date came in a Wolverhampton seller, but ran well when third of 6 to Gold Hunter in lady riders event at Chepstow last time. Needs to step up, but that's not inconceivable after just three turf starts. Blinkers refitted now.

Form: 3-64143

(3)

Inlawed^v⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 67| D

66/1

Has shown form here in the past, but all wins have come on Polytrack at Kempton, and well beaten in two turf runs for current yard this year.

Form: 571980

Forecasts

Han Solo Berger (3/1), Lightning Charlie (6/1), Glory of Paris (13/2), Vegas Boy (8/1), Bahamian Dollar (8/1), Human Nature (8/1), May Remain (14/1), Gold Hunter (18/1), Red Alert (18/1), Met By Moonlight (20/1), Trotter (22/1), Turanga Leela (33/1), Kodiline (40/1), Inlawed (66/1), Winklemann (80/1)

HUMAN NATURE returned to form at Yarmouth last time, and this C&D winner will be better suited than most by any easing of the ground, so gets a narrow verdict over the unexposed Han Solo Berger, who also shaped well on his most recent start. Bahamian Dollar is a reliable sort at this level, and has solid place claims.
