Essgee Nics^p1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul George

150/1

Some ability in bumper's but a slow learner to date on the Flat and hard to see him been competitive here. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 850

Utility²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: D G Bridgwater

16/1

Can be a tricky customer at times but is a fair hurdler. Very late to be making flat debut but was a bumper winner and could play a part if transforming some of is jumps ability.

Form:

Confederate¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie| T: H Palmer

4/1

Son of Teofilo; cost 100,000 gns and is related to some useful types in the States. Very much learning on the job in two starts over this trip at Kempton so far. Should do better at some stage, maybe over further.

Form: 65

(4)

Ramsbury

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes

11/10

Dansili gelding that cost 50,000 gns as a yearling. Has a mixed pedigree but related to a few winners. Dam was a winner over 1m. Market check needed.

Temur Khan⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 75

25/1

Shown plenty of ability on occasions for Hugo Palmer without winning. Starts life for a new yard today having disappointed in a similar contest at Kempton last time.

Form: 8-24059

Miss Crick²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: M Harley| T: A King| D

8/1

Smart hurdler/chaser who is making a belated debut on the flat. Will be a player for sure if transferring her jumps ability to this code.

(7)

Cloudlam^p1³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 69| BF

4/1

Ability on all three starts but held in third when sent off odds-on at Kempton over 1m last time. Cheekpieces go on and goes up significantly in trip which promises to suit.

Form: 423

(2)

Mary Elise²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 66

22/1

Placed in a pair of AW maidens in the winter but was then off for four months when disappointing at Nottingham in June. Well held on return to action over this trip at kempton last time and should be fitter now.

Form: 7-2377

(1)

New Dream²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: L Allan| OR: 36

125/1

Shown nothing in three starts to date, all at big prices and hard to fancy on all known form.

Form: 698

Forecasts

Ramsbury (11/10), Cloudlam (4/1), Confederate (4/1), Miss Crick (8/1), Utility (16/1), Mary Elise (22/1), Temur Khan (25/1), New Dream (125/1), Essgee Nics (150/1)

Cloudlam shapes like this step up in trip will suit as he looks a bit one-paced. Newcomer Ramsbury has a decent pedigree and a market check is needed. Jumpers Utility and MISS CRICK could both be well up to running a big race with preference for the latter who could well take to this.
