Lomu¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: P Cosgrave| T: D Loughnane| OR: 86| D

4/1

8/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 10 days ago. Can usually be relied upon to run his race and should make his presence felt, albeit without being quite good enough.

Form: 723526

James Watt^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: P T Midgley| OR: 80| D

7/1

Latest win at York in July. 5¾ lengths ninth of 10 to Soul Seeker in handicap at York (5f, good, 9/1) 20 days ago. Consistency clearly isn't his forte and likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 981319

Princess Power^v¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 78| BF| C| D

3/1

Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. 9/2, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good) 12 days ago, not ideally placed. High on the shortlist off the same mark.

Form: 822-564

The Bell Conductor¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S A Gray| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 78| D

10/3

Latest win at Beverley in July. Fifteenth of 17 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm, 13/2) 19 days ago. Others more persuasive from a win point of view.

Form: 1/77-010

Cowboy Soldier²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 74| D

6/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2019. Tenth of 13 in handicap at York (6f, good, 22/1) 21 days ago, merely closing up late. Lurking on an attractive mark, but needs to bounce back in a major way.

Secretinthepark^v1³⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: R Menzies| OR: 73| D

11/2

Latest win at Doncaster in April. 66/1, bit below form fourth of 14 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) 35 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Michael Mullineaux. Visor on 1st time.

Form: 90-4164

Forecasts

Soul Seeker (5/2), Princess Power (3/1), The Bell Conductor (10/3), Lomu (4/1), Secretinthepark (11/2), Cowboy Soldier (6/1), James Watt (7/1), Fashion Advice (8/1), Wrenthorpe (10/1)

Having shaped better than the bare result when fourth over C&D recently, PRINCESS POWER makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. Indeed, on that evidence she is ready to strike and Nigel Tinkler's charge is taken to end the winning run of Soul Seeker, who is bidding for the hat-trick following victores at Hamilton and York last month. Fashion Advice is also shortlisted.
