(1)

Luna Magic⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 72| D

4/1

Best effort for some time when landing a 6-runner event at Salisbury 9 days ago and 4-lb rise leaves her still feasibly treated. Solid claims under her regular partner.

Form: 84-8431

(8)

Zlatan²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Sophie Smith⁽³⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 70

11/2

Temperamental sort who put his best foot forward for once when scoring at Sandown in July and followed it with a couple of creditable efforts. Latest run best excused, so worth considering.

Form: 561237

(2)

Hillwalker³⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr James King| T: D Faulkner| OR: 70

50/1

Out of sorts for Tim Easterby last year and makes little appeal returning from a year off track for a new yard.

Form: 33/5700-

(7)

Summer Valley²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Rob Hargreaves⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 65

13/2

Winner at Brighton in June but respectable efforts at best subsequently, only fifth back at the same track earlier in August. Likely to find at least one too good.

Form: 44-1435

(10)

Moxy Mares^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr Cameron Hillhouse⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 65

9/2

Finally ended losing run in Lingfield apprentice handicap last month and wasn't seen to best effect when only fourth at Ffos Las subsequently. Could get involved if race pans out ideally.

Form: 654314

(6)

Magical Dragon^v¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: P R Chamings| OR: 62

10/3

Bounced back to spring a surprise from a much-reduced mark at Salisbury 17 days ago and remains well treated on old form, so can't be dismissed under the most experienced rider.

Form: 77-0041

(4)

Stormbomber^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: M Madgwick| OR: 59| D

18/1

Fair handicapper who is a long time without a win and doesn't appear to be in much form, so easy to look elsewhere despite cheekpieces going back on.

Form: 223099

(9)

Beau Geste²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss S L Bowen⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 56| D

5/1

Scored at Brighton in July and finished to good effect when runner-up in a race that didn't play to his strengths there last time. Should play a part if they go a true pace.

Form: 7-56612

Forecasts

Magical Dragon (10/3), Luna Magic (4/1), Moxy Mares (9/2), Beau Geste (5/1), Zlatan (11/2), Summer Valley (13/2), Gold Souk (8/1), Stormbomber (18/1), The Game Is On (25/1), Hillwalker (50/1)

BEAU GESTE was arguably unfortunate not to complete a double at Brighton last time, finishing well from further back than ideal, so he's worth a chance to get back to winning ways in a race where they should go a solid gallop. Last-time-out winners Luna Magic and Magical Dragon are obvious dangers under two of the more established jockeys.
