Amazing Red¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: J Mitchell| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 90| D

40/1

Bagged another small-field affair at Newmarket (14f) in July. Proved too keen when last of 4 back at that venue 3 weeks ago and may prove vulnerable to less-exposed sorts here.

Form: 143314

Sword Beach^b⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 81

17/2

Arrives in excellent heart, landing back-to-back Windsor handicaps (11.5f) in recent weeks, latterly by a neck from Red October. Has to be respected in hat-trick bid under a penalty.

Form: 623711

(2)

Red October^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Louis Steward| T: H Palmer| OR: 84| D

4/1

Latest win at Leicester in July. Good neck second of 11 to Sword Beach in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 11/1) 7 days ago. Not taken lightly on 2 lb better terms with that rival.

Form: 7-58122

(7)

Cozone^p³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 77

10/3

Pour Moi gelding who is yet to finish out of the frame for present yard, again finding only one too good in a C&D event last month. Mark looks about right but he should go well again.

Form: 233322

(3)

Corbulo²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: M Dwyer| T: B J Meehan| OR: 81

9/2

Progressive handicapper, making it 4 wins from 6 starts when running out a ½-length winner at Doncaster (10.2f) 3 weeks ago. Further progress not ruled out now tackling longer trip.

Form: 121311

(6)

Powerful Aggie¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 77

3/1

Sligo maiden winner (10.6f) who shaped well when fourth on handicap debut over C&D 2 weeks ago, finishing well from a disadvantageous track position. Type to do better again.

Form: 43414

(4)

Vin Rouge⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: J Quinn| T: J A Osborne| OR: 74

20/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 7 in minor event at Bath (11.6f, good to firm, 7/2) 64 days ago. Seemingly learning by the run to date and progress not ruled out now handicapping.

Form: 734

(8)

Bashful¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR: 72| BF

10/1

2/1, creditable second of 6 in maiden at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) 15 days ago. Return to handicaps a likely plus but he's operating from 3 lb out of the weights on this occasion.

Form: 9-22232

Forecasts

Powerful Aggie (3/1), Cozone (10/3), Red October (4/1), Corbulo (9/2), Sword Beach (17/2), Bashful (10/1), Vin Rouge (20/1), Amazing Red (40/1)

A winner of a Sligo maiden in May, POWERFUL AGGIE matched that form without being seen to anything like best effect when fourth in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago, finishing well from a disadvantageous position. The type to do better again, she gets the nod to build on that and strike. Corbulo goes from strength-to-strength and is feared, along with Cozone and Sword Beach.
