Bad Attitude¹²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: L McJannet| OR: 58| D

8/1

Drastic improver on the AW during the spring, culminating with commanding success in 1m2f Chelmsford handicap in March. Not seen since and up 6lb but could still be a rapid improver.

Form: 960-231

By Jove¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: M L W Bell| OR: 58| D

11/8

Modest form in first three runs in novice company but seemingly thrived when switched to handicap company to win at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month. May be progressive now but 5lb hike looks harsh.

Form: 000-1

(3)

Sir I'll Chance It^b¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: B Doyle| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| D

50/1

Off the mark in Lingfield handicap in February but ran two shockers this term, including 41L defeat at Windsor (1m2f) last month. Major bounce back is required now.

Form: 05-8100

(1)

Mackelly^p1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 56

14/1

Well held in first four starts on the track and fared a little better when 5L ninth in 1m Lingfield handicap in June. Form still doesn't seem good enough off current mark and more is needed.

Form: 690-69

(5)

On The Right Track²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M D I Usher| OR: 55

22/1

Has some glimpses of promise in the form book and fared better when staying-on fourth at Leicester (1m) last month. Has staying pedigree and now eased 2lb to very likeable mark. Not without hope.

Form: 5060-4

(14)

Up The Aisle¹³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tyler Saunders⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 55

50/1

Rank outsider in three starts to date and showing very little, including distant fifth in smart-looking maiden at Kempton (1m4f) on latest start. Handicap bow but form book isn't good enough.

Form: 065

(4)

Vitesse Du Son¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S Donohoe| T: W S Kittow| OR: 54

18/1

Looked out of his depth in maiden/novice company on first three starts and looked more at home when 7L fourth in 1m Bath handicap 15 days ago. Remains on workable mark for first try at this trip.

Form: 9794

(13)

Big Boris^v1³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P Cosgrave| T: P D Evans| OR: 52

25/1

Seven-race maiden has finished well-held in three starts since career-best second at Chepstow last September. Struggled over 1m4f at Kempton latest. Down in trip and visor is applied.

Form: 08305-0

(2)

Brown Eyes Blue^p⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 50

25/1

Now a maiden after 11 starts and failed to trouble judge when 5L fourth in claiming company at Windsor (1m2f) five days ago. Has plenty to find at this level once again.

Form: 93-8494

(11)

Surrey Flame¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: L P Keniry| T: J Tuite| OR: 50

66/1

Moderate form to date so far. Arguably took a backward step when well beaten 10th on handicap debut at Leicester (1m) in late June. 1m2f trip not entirely set to suit. Limited appeal.

Form: 89-70

(9)

Grand Canal²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 50

6/1

Has shown little in three starts in novice/maiden company to date. Tailed-off eighth in 1m2f Sandown maiden last month but has very reasonable opening mark and should do better in this company.

Form: 07-8

(7)

Rare Glam¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Tuite| OR: 49

10/3

Has become a better proposition since switching to handicaps, placing on both starts. Looked in need of step back up to this trip when third at Leicester (1m) last month and holds solid claims.

Form: 78523

Forecasts

By Jove (11/8), Rare Glam (10/3), Grand Canal (6/1), Bad Attitude (8/1), Beat The Breeze (8/1), Mackelly (14/1), Vitesse Du Son (18/1), Lightning Blue (20/1), On The Right Track (22/1), Brown Eyes Blue (25/1), Big Boris (25/1), Sir I'll Chance It (50/1), Up The Aisle (50/1), Surrey Flame (66/1)

This handicap looks modest enough for the unexposed ON THE RIGHT TRACK to shed his maiden tag. Despite an awkward start last time, there was a lot of promise in his performance against re-opposing rivals at Leicester and the handicapper looks as if he is willing to give him a lenient chance in this sphere. Similar claims can apply to the duo of Beat The Breeze and Vitesse Du Son, who should shape better going up an extra two furlongs from their previous starts, while at the bottom of the weights Rare Glam fared best with previous form ties against rivals and could be tough nut to crack despite not getting any respite from the handicapper at present.
