Energia Flavio^p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 65| CD

9/2

Landed a claimer at this track last month and has run well in two subsequent handicaps. Should give another good account, but looks vulnerable under top weight.

Form: 440153

(2)

Seanie^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁷⁾| T: K Thornton| OR: 63| D

7/1

Irish challenger who has three AW successes to his name. Well held on last two starts at Dundalk and needs more off 2lb lower than latest outing.

Form: 050740

(1)

Lucky Lodge^v¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 63| CD

15/2

Fair AW performer who has posted seven wins on artificial surfaces. Latest run at Thirsk suggests he in good heart so a bold show is on the cards from this four-times C&D winner.

Form: 681354

(3)

Pushkin Museum^h¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 62| C

14/1

Winner twice over 6f at this venue this year for Patrick Morris, but has been well held on last two starts over C&D for current trainer. Return to form not out of the question.

Form: 401467

(9)

Global Spirit³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: G Mosse| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 64

3/1

Maiden after 11 attempts. Handicap mark continues to fall and he ran with credit when fourth of nine over C&D two starts ago. Each-way claims.

Form: 474043

(5)

Lord Murphy^t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Jones| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 58| CD

12/1

Several good efforts since winning over C&D in April. Slight disappointing at Brighton last time, but may well bounce back at a venue he clearly likes.

Form: 376225

(6)

The King's Steed^b,t³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: S Lycett| OR: 58| C

15/8

Just touched off over C&D on last two outings, latterly in a first-time visor which is ditched. Handicapper has left him alone and the champion jockey has been booked.

Form: 303022

(10)

Les Gar Gan⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Sara Del Fabbro⁽⁷⁾| T: R E Peacock| OR: 45| C

50/1

Solid efforts on last two runs over C&D, latterly when finishing lame. Handicapper has cut her some slack, so it would be no surprise if she were to produce another bold show.

Form: 005-956

(4)

Hell Of A Lady^b1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 45

66/1

Third place is the best she has achieved in seven starts. Third run for this trainer and needs to take a big step forward to figure.

Form: 4300-40

Forecasts

The King's Steed (15/8), Global Spirit (3/1), Energia Flavio (9/2), Wicked Sea (6/1), Seanie (7/1), Lucky Lodge (15/2), Lord Murphy (12/1), Pushkin Museum (14/1), Les Gar Gan (50/1), Hell Of A Lady (66/1)

Lucky Lodge is likely to make a bold bid to register his fifth win over C&D, but he may have to give best to THE KING'S STEED and Les Gar Gan. The selection has hit the crossbar on his last two starts over C&D and can deservedly get his head in front. Energia Flavio and Lord Murphy are others to consider in an tricky handicap
