Joyful Dream^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 57| D

10/1

Two wins from 46 Flat runs. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 28/1) 14 days ago. Entitled to come on for that seasonal reappearance but forecast conditions are cause for concern.

Form: 13126-0

Vivacious Spirit^p,t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 56

5/1

Good second of 13 in handicap (6/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago, running on. Now 0-17, though, and has failed to make the frame on each of his 9 previous runs on turf.

Form: 8-50022

Mudawwan^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Gianluca Sanna⁽⁷⁾| T: J D Bethell| OR: 53| D

6/1

Fifteen runs since sole career win in 2018. 28/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 14 days ago. Has form on an easy surface and he's worth considering.

Tarnhelm²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhona Pindar⁽⁷⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 51

9/2

Untrustworthy individual. Latest win at Thirsk in June. Twelfth of 18 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 40/1) 29 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 861460

Guardia Svizzera^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: A D Brown| OR: 50| C| D

14/1

Course winner. 66/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces back on and this unreliable type is probably worth taking on.

Form: 580709

(11)

Be Bold^b¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 48| C| D

7/2

Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. Seventh of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) 12 days ago. May again find a few too good.

Form: 33-0927

Kodimoor^p²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford| OR: 47| C| D

17/2

Course winner. 9/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Conditions won't be a problem and, now 3 lb below last winning mark, he's worth a second look.

Form: 90-6040

(10)

Another Bond¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Ben Robinson| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 46

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, ninth of 11 in minor event at Doncaster (6f, firm) 10 days ago, slowly away. Big step forward needed on this handicap debut.

Form: 089

(9)

Chocoholic²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 45

7/1

22/1, creditable third of 10 in minor event at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Remains a maiden following 13 attempts but he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 34-0783

Forecasts

Be Bold (7/2), Tarnhelm (9/2), Vivacious Spirit (5/1), Mudawwan (6/1), Chocoholic (7/1), Kodimoor (17/2), Joyful Dream (10/1), Guardia Svizzera (14/1), Tellovoi (16/1), Another Bond (25/1), Moneyball (33/1)

Though he's not the easiest to catch right, MUDAWWAN put in a good shift when third on the all-weather a fortnight ago and is appealing here off a career-low mark. Vivacious Spirit would be a big player if reproducing his recent tapeta form back on turf, but that has to be doubtful and Kodimoor, who has been given a chance by the handicapper, and Chocoholic may emerge as the main dangers.
