Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 66

4/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in June. 25/1, good third of 15 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good) 18 days ago. Drop in grade an obvious plus and possibilities.

Form: 74-7193

Glen Esk¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: C F Wall| OR: 66| BF

7/1

4/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 17 days ago, getting the gap 2f out but didn't do anything quickly. Longer trip worth exploring.

Form: 762-633

(10)

Grey Fox²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 65

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good to firm, 12/1) 27 days ago, some mitigation in that he lost a shoe. Likely better judged on previous form.

Form: 56-76

(6)

Ethics Approval^b²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: C Hills| OR: 64

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1 and blinkered for 1st time, not seen to anything like best effect when seventh of 8 in handicap at Bath (1m) earlier this month. Worth a second look back at 10f.

Form: 3547

(14)

Go Bob Go³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 63

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 33/1) 34 days ago. This should reveal more now making turf debut.

Form: 8-659

(13)

Soramond^h1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 63| D

18/1

Winner. at Leicester (10f) in June. Disappointed when ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 24 days ago, albeit not knocked about. Needs to bounce back now equipped with a first-time hood.

Form: 569-19

(12)

Dusty Dream^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Louis Steward| T: W J Haggas| OR: 63

Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 17 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 64-708

(7)

Good Time Charlie^p²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L P Keniry| T: C G Cox| OR: 62

11/1

Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 11/2) 24 days ago, well positioned. Proving largely consistent in handicaps so not ruled out for each-way purposes.

Form: 7-36263

(5)

Helix¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 62

18/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, fourth of 9 in maiden at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft) 14 days ago, inadequate test. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Open to improvement.

Form: 874

(16)

Aljalela²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 62

7/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 16/1, sixth of 10 in maiden at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 28 days ago, not knocked about having looked unsuited by the track. Type to do better now handicapping at 1¼m.

Form: 95-6

(3)

Derek Le Grand^p1³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Bowen| T: G Harris| OR: 60

16/1

Below form fifth of 13 in handicap (8/1) at this course (11.4f, good) 33 days ago. Had previously caught the eye when runner-up over C&D and not one to write off.

Form: 899-525

(1)

Bad Company¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 56

12/1

14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Bath (1m) 10 days ago. Likely in better heart than recent form figures suggest and longer trip worth exploring.

Form: 60-0404

(15)

Beat The Breeze⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: F Norton| T: S Dow| OR: 52

40/1

6/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 63 days ago, faring best of those held up. May find a few too good back up in trip.

Form: 4-05275

(8)

Trigger Happy^b1⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: Jean-Rene Auvray| OR: 48

100/1

Ninth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 66/1) 47 days ago, missing break and never a threat. Others make greater appeal. Blinkered.

Forecasts

Grey Fox (4/1), Astroman (4/1), Costello (11/2), Glen Esk (7/1), Aljalela (7/1), Go Bob Go (10/1), Good Time Charlie (11/1), Bad Company (12/1), Ethics Approval (12/1), Dusty Dream (14/1), Grouseman (14/1), Derek Le Grand (16/1), Soramond (18/1), Helix (18/1), Beat The Breeze (40/1), Trigger Happy (100/1)

A winner at Wolverhampton in June, ASTROMAN ran his best race yet when third in a stronger race over this trip at Haydock 18 days ago, short of room over 1f out but noted keeping on. He's fancied to go well in a wide-open heat and earns the vote. Ethics Approval is better than his latest run suggests and is feared, along with Aljalela and Glen Esk.
