Glenn Coco^t²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Bentley| T: S C Williams| OR: 77| BF| C| D

5/1

Good run of form culminated in fine second to Game Player at Newmarket last month, and probably best to forgive latest effort when favourite at Epsom. Both wins have come on AW, so expected to bounce back here.

Form: 582328

Envisaging^t⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 75

9/2

Form figures aren't inspiring but much better than the bare result when 1¼L eighth of 12 to Redgrave at Kempton last time, making headway when meeting trouble in closing stages. Has fallen to an exploitable mark for in-form yard.

Form: 455458

(6)

Roman Spinner^t³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: Rae Guest| OR: 76| D

12/1

Now 3lb lower than when a close fourth over C&D in July, and generally running creditably since, as when a staying-on 3L third of 10 to Counter Spirit at Newcastle last time.

Form: 3-22493

(5)

Quick Breath¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 76| CD

4/1

Has fallen back to the mark off which he won in a C&D handicap in July, and seemed back to form in a blanket finish at Kempton last time, for all that form could be misleading. One to consider.

Form: 174078

(4)

Robin Weathers³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 74| D

4/1

Has made the frame on both starts for new yard this term having left William Haggas, and looks on a very fair mark. Best work late over 1m at Lingfield last time, and drop back to 7f is a slight concern.

Form: 7904-32

(3)

Mount Wellington³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Fran Berry| T: H Spiller| OR: 74

16/1

Placed twice over 6f at Newmarket in the summer, but form has slipped on last couple of starts, and no obvious excuse for latest 6L defeat at Yarmouth.

Form: 773274

(2)

London¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 72| CD

9/1

Has won over C&D off a higher mark, and possible to make excuses for a few of his disappointing runs of late. Now 17lb lower than when winning at Southwell in January, and likely to bounce back at some point.

Form: 050500

(8)

Sonnet Rose^b,t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: M Dwyer| T: C Allen| OR: 70| CD

9/1

Holding form well since winning over C&D last month, and looked as good as ever when second of 13 to Wilbury Twist at Lingfield last time. No reason why she won't go well again.

Form: 031532

(7)

Inaam^h¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: A Kirby| T: J Butler| OR: 69| D

40/1

Shown nothing in four starts for his new yard, and while this is more suitable than latest outing on turf at Pontefract, he's not easy to fancy.

Form: 759900

(10)

Equidae²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: J Tate| OR: 69| BF

25/1

Ran his best race when third to Hic Bibi in a C&D handicap last month, and excused latest run when overdoing forcing tactics at Newcastle. Still appears too high in the weights, though.

Form: 20-4036

(1)

Dollar Value^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: J Fanning| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 62

14/1

Only a solitary place to show for eight starts, but not a forlorn hope in handicaps, and noted making late headway over 6f here last time. This trip should be more suitable on that evidence.

Form: 662055

Forecasts

Robin Weathers (4/1), Quick Breath (4/1), Envisaging (9/2), Glenn Coco (5/1), London (9/1), Sonnet Rose (9/1), Roman Spinner (12/1), Dollar Value (14/1), Mount Wellington (16/1), Equidae (25/1), Inaam (40/1)

SONNET ROSE is in a rich vein of form right now, and ought to go well after an excellent second here last time. Glenn Coco ran poorly last time, but will appreciate the return to Polytrack and is a danger, along with Robin Weathers, while London is capable of bouncing back to form if getting a soft lead.
