Union Rose^v²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Raul Da Silva| T: R Harris| OR: 76| D

9/1

Experienced gelding who once again over the extended 5f trip at Bath last time. He has been running consistently well all year. He is now off a 4lb higher mark, however, he remains a leading contender.

Form: 443241

King Robert³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: C Wallis| OR: 75| BF| D

13/2

Scored on the AW earlier this year and has since gone close on a number of occasions on turf, including on his latest attempt at Windsor (5f) where he was 1½L away in fourth place of eight. Has each-way claims here.

Form: 562404

(2)

Indian Raj^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: S C Williams| OR: 74| BF| CD

7/2

A C&D winner here three starts ago. Was then third of six at Windsor (5f), while last time he came home at the rear of the field in an eight runner contest over this C&D. Needs to bounce back from latest attempt but has been eased 1lb.

Form: 453136

Dr Doro^v⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 73| D

12/1

Scored for the first time this season on her latest appearance at Yarmouth over this distance. Has gone up 3lb in the weights but she was rated much higher earlier in her career. Big player to follow up.

Form: 547351

Our Oystercatcher¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: M Pattinson| OR: 72| CD

9/4

Won over this C&D last time, scoring by ¾L after making all from a wide draw in what was his third success of his career. Has gone up 4lb the weights, however, he has run well off this mark before. One for the shortlist.

Form: 434651

Rewaayat³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Dane O'Neill| T: C Hills| OR: 71

7/2

Broke his maiden at Lingfield (6f) three starts ago by 3L. Has failed to follow that up in two attempts since then where he has been expensive to follow, including latest at Salisbury (5f) where he was fifth of seven. Needs to bounce back.

Form: D-24155

(3)

Wotadoll¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: M Dwyer| T: M Murphy| OR: 63| D

16/1

Scored at Windsor (6f) three runs ago. Has failed to add to that in two runs since then. She was last of five on her latest appearance at Goodwood (6f). Needs to improve on recent form, therefore, others make more of an appeal.

Form: 49-7165

(7)

Bahamian Sunrise^b⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: J Gallagher| OR: 61| CD

16/1

A C&D winner but is on a long losing stretch which goes back to April 2018. Has not come close to returning to winning ways this year. He had just one horse behind him last time at Bath (5f) in a 15 runner field. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Our Oystercatcher (9/4), Rewaayat (7/2), Indian Raj (7/2), King Robert (13/2), Union Rose (9/1), Joegogo (10/1), Dr Doro (12/1), Kodiac Express (12/1), Bahamian Sunrise (16/1), Wotadoll (16/1)

DR DORO was back to winning ways last time over this distance at Yarmouth and she can follow up here off just a 3lb higher mark. The tough mare has a good strike-rate and she is worth following when she hits form. Union Rose has had a solid campaign this year and he was rewarded with a victory at Bath on his latest appearance. Expect to see him go close again, while Indian Raj is a C&D winner here so is good enough to come home in the placings off this mark.
