Noble Peace^t⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Robert Tart| T: S Pearce| OR: 71| D

25/1

Latest win at Lingfield in February. Only eighth of 10 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 25/1) 42 days ago so needs a couple of these to falter.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carson| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 70| D

5/1

Back on track when fifth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good) 8 days ago. One for the shortlist off a reduced mark.

Bint Australia³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 70

5/1

Still a maiden, and only tenth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 34 days ago. Others are preferred.

Form: 22-3370

Dourado^v1¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: P R Chamings| OR: 68| BF| D

8/1

Twenty five runs since last win in 2017, and last of 10 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Visor on now but others more persuasive.

Form: 8-03320

Inflamed⁶⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: S Pearce| OR: 67| D

40/1

Off 22 months since landing handicaps at Kempton and Wolverhampton (8.6f) for Ed Walker. Needs to hit the ground running for his new yard after long absence.

Greek Kodiac^p,t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 65| C

9/2

Latest win at Redcar in May but too free when last of 8 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces refitted now and course winner too so he could bounce back.

Form: 653158

Nibras Shadow¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: I Mohammed| OR: 64| D

11/8

Made it 2-5 this year when overcoming drop back to 7f in 12-runner handicap (11/10) at Wolverhampton 11 days ago. Up 5 lb but player in her hat-trick bid now returned to 1m.

Form: 4-48211

Forecasts

Nibras Shadow (11/8), Greek Kodiac (9/2), Vasco Da Gama (5/1), Bint Australia (5/1), Dourado (8/1), Light Up Our Stars (10/1), Noble Peace (25/1), Inflamed (40/1)

NIBRAS SHADOW seems sure to benefit from returning to this 1m trip and is fancied to complete a quick hat-trick despite a second 5 lb rise in the weights. Vasco Da Gama has slipped in the weights and is feared most after his return to form at Windsor last week, with course-winner Greek Kodiac not ruled out back here either in refitted cheekpieces.
