33/1

Temperamental sort. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 10/1) 13 days ago, carrying head high and one paced. Others make greater appeal for win purposes.

Global Hero¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: H Crouch| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 88

4/1

Lightly-raced winner. 7/2, good fourth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, firm) 14 days ago. That was a solid effort on back of 23 months off, now his task is to back that up.

Form: 121/4

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: H Candy| OR: 86

6/1

17/2, good ½-length second of 14 to Andaleep in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 19 days ago, suited by way race developed. Still, fancied to give another good account.

18/1

12/1, creditable fourth of 15 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft) 48 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. First run for yard after leaving David O'Meara. Not taken lightly.

Form: 3-43374

Dubai Instinct³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: B J Meehan| OR: 82| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form 11¼ lengths seventh of 12 to Andaleep in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 40/1) 39 days ago, hampered over 1f out. Still, needs to step up.

Form: 101-077

Make It Rain¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 86

11/4

Progressive 3-y-o who doubled her career tally (well backed) when landing 5-runner Wolverhampton handicap (9.5f) 17 days ago. Effective on turf and respected from 6 lb higher mark.

Form: 951-341

(6)

Andaleep¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 81| D

5/1

Proved more straightforward than previously to land pair of handicaps at Sandown (10f, good) the last twice, suited by a strong pace 19 days ago. Clearly thriving at present and should go well again.

Form: 233D11

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: C J MacRedmond⁽⁷⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 80| CD

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 85

9/2

Winner at Thirsk in July. 7/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, firm) 14 days ago. Step up in trip may bring about some more improvement.

Form: 322133

(8)

He's A Keeper^p²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jane Elliott| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 81

40/1

22/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 20 days ago, not ideally placed. Step up in trip needs to bring about improvement but handicapper has relinquished his grip a little.

Form: 4-40538

Rosa Gold¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: Rae Guest| OR: 79| D

25/1

3 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Chepstow in July. 5/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Revised mark does demand that little bit more.

Form: 6-51115

Forecasts

Make It Rain (11/4), Global Hero (4/1), Glen Force (9/2), Andaleep (5/1), Alfred Boucher (6/1), Humbert (18/1), Dubai Instinct (22/1), Rosa Gold (25/1), Protected Guest (33/1), Music Seeker (33/1), He's A Keeper (40/1)

MAKE IT RAIN was well backed and found further improvement to double her career tally at Wolverhampton 17 days ago, headway to lead inside final 1f and drawing clear. Effective on turf, tshe's capable of better and fancied to go well again despite a 6 lb higher mark to contend with. The hat-trick seeking Andaleep and Glen Force, tackling this longer trip, are others to consider.
