11/1

Hamilton winner last August then fifth in very competitive 17-runner Ayr nursery (both over 6f). Layoff no worry given yard and similar story with the extra 1f. Respected.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 78| D

9/2

Gained second success of the campaign when upped to 7f at Lingfield last time out. 6lb rise makes life tougher but going the right way at present.

Nehaall²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: R Varian| OR: 78| D

11/2

7f Wolverhampton winner well held in a Newmarket handicap latest but suspect this is a little easier so not ruled out by any means.

Form: 2-17

Shoot The Moon^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: W Jarvis| OR: 77

5/1

Maiden but second in last two here and at Windsor (latest his handicap debut). Contender if appreciating the extra 1f and it appears he will.

12/1

160,000gns Zoffany filly fifth here on debut (7f) and third subsequently at Newbury over 1m. Jockey booking noted so not one to ignore by any means on handicap bow.

Form: 53

Qasbaz²⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 74

Glorious Zoff²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 74

Handicap debutant showed signs of progress when third at Goodwood last time but ultimately was well held so must improve further.

Epic Endeavour¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 74

18/1

Second at Lingfield on debut and fifth at Newmarket since (both over 7f). Lightly raced and one the market can guide with.

Form: 25

The Blue Bower¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J G Portman| OR: 72| C| D

11/2

7f Wolverhampton winner followed up here over 6f latest so will seek the hat-trick today upped 5lb by the handicapper.

Forecasts

Rodin (9/2), Shoot The Moon (5/1), Nehaall (11/2), Glorious Zoff (11/2), The Blue Bower (11/2), Angelic Time (10/1), Dutch Decoy (11/1), Philipa Victoria (12/1), Qasbaz (14/1), Cheat (14/1), Epic Endeavour (18/1)

Plenty of attractive profiles here but the vote goes to returning DUTCH DECOY who represents red-hot Mark Johnston. His fifth at Ayr last time was a solid effort in a valuable race and he is likely to do even better now over 7f. Shoot The Moon is also expected to relish the step up to 7f and he along with hat-trick seeker The Blue Bower are also solid propositions.
