Selected odds by:
Has been known to bleed, but still able to gain three handicap wins this year, the latest by a whisker over C&D., with Starboy, Maksab and an unlucky Highlight Reel behind. New mark demands more, but he is considered.
Gained second win at Chelmsford in May. and good third at Doncaster on penultimate outing. Below form when favourite at Windsor last time, but not ruled out if that run can be excused.
Well placed to gain three wins in small fields this year, and ran creditably when third to Citron Major over C&D last time. Should give his running, but 19lb higher than for first victory, and handicapper could well be in charge now.
Had been shaping well, and squeezed out when travelling well in race won by Citron Major on penultimate start, before making amends over C&D last week, beating Bertog 3L. Will take the beating under a penalty.
Won a C&D handicap last month, but progress has stalled since, and only fifth behind Citron Major here on his latest start, albeit probably not seen to best effect.
Made all to score at Sandown (7f) in June, but well held in better company since. Returns to winning level, and possible he'll be revived, especially if usual tactics are employed (held up last time).
Hold-up filly who has got her act together of late, landing back-to-back handicaps of Yarmouth on last two starts. Up significantly in class now, however, and others preferred.
Forecasts
Bullingdon (9/4), Highlight Reel (10/3), Citron Major (9/2), Maksab (13/2), Starboy (8/1), Rum Runner (9/1), Late Change (14/1)
Four of these clashed over C&D earlier in the month, with Citron Major coming out on top, and he's expected to run another good race, but HIGHLIGHT REEL was notably unlucky in that contest, and made amends in great style here last week, so is taken to gain revenge. Bullingdon failed to meet market expectations last time, but is a player on earlier form, and may be worth forgiving a small lapse in form.
