Balgair⁸⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr R Birkett| T: Tom Clover| OR: 80| CD

9/1

Suited by strong pace when landing this race under today's rider 12 months ago. Efforts mixed earlier this term but he arrives on his last winning mark as a result and boasts a decent record fresh.

Form: 310-686

(2)

Kryptos⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: John Berry| OR: 77| D

4/1

Regained winning thread at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in November. Yet to feature in handful of starts this season but he did shape better than distance beaten suggests at Chester 7 days ago.

Form: 5-57808

(7)

Luna Magic²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 75| D

9/1

Ended losing run at Salisbury (1m) in August and followed up with help of stewards at Goodwood (9f) 9 days later, having been carried left close home. However, more on her plate now in hat-trick bid.

Form: 4-84311

(9)

Sands Chorus²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Amy Collier| T: K Tutty| OR: 73| D

12/1

Enjoying a highly-productive season, adding a fourth Redcar success to his tally over 10f last month, making all under this pilot. Back up 3 lb in this higher grade which makes things tougher.

Form: 312151

(4)

Fieldsman²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss S L Bowen| T: A W Carroll| OR: 72| C

40/1

Back on scoresheet at Wolverhampton (7f) in May and arrives here on the back of pair of runners-up efforts over 7f in August. Tackles this longer trip now and he should give another good account.

Form: 516922

(8)

Global Art^b¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss Sophie Smith| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 72| D

20/1

Returned to form in refitted blinkers at Newcastle (10.2f) 15 days ago, finding only one that went close at Ayr on Thursday too strong. However, all 3 victories to date have come on AW.

Form: 285452

(3)

Secret Glow¹⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-6| J: Mr Henry Main| T: H Main| OR: 77

50/1

Fairly useful 1m winner on AW for Simon & Ed Crisford earlier this year who was let go for only 1,700 gns in July and the market may prove the best guide now handicapping on turf debut.

Form: 616

(6)

First Dance¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Mr Patrick Millman| T: T P Tate| OR: 70| D

18/1

Landed back-to-back 1m handicaps on the July course this summer prior to a good second over 10f back here last month. Found run of good form coming to a halt at Doncaster 10 days ago, though.

Form: 351120

(12)

Mercurius Power^t⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-4| J: Mr S Walker| T: A M Balding| OR: 75| D

2/1

3-y-o who didn't need to improve to double ally at Epsom (8.5f) 9 days ago, leading over 1f out and showing a good attitude. 2 lb higher mark shouldn't rule out another good run under Simon Walker.

Form: 321621

(1)

Mark Of Respect²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr Matthew Ennis| T: J G Portman| OR: 73

6/1

Arrives here in good heart, winning over 1m on July course and hitting frame next 2 starts. Step back up in trip will hold no fears and no reason why he won't go well again.

Form: 364123

(10)

Hotspur Harry^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: George Eddery| T: R Eddery| OR: 66

12/1

Shed maiden tag at Newcastle (10.2f) in April and back to that sort of form when third over 10f here 2 starts back. Latest Epsom run was one of his lesser efforts and blinkers quickly discarded here.

Form: 565634

(11)

Time Zone²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Miss H C Tucker| T: L Allan| OR: 52| C

100/1

Winner on debut over 7f here but that came back in 2016 and it's all been fairly low key since, including in handful of starts for present stable. Others preferred from out the weights.

Form: 094/870

(5)

Hugosthere^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Miss Megan Jordan| T: R A Teal| OR: 47

100/1

Modest maiden who failed to find any improvement for the step up to 1¼m when seventh of 10 in a Chelmsford classified event last month. No easy task on here from out of the weights.

Form: 809347

Forecasts

Mercurius Power (2/1), Kryptos (4/1), Mark Of Respect (6/1), Luna Magic (9/1), Balgair (9/1), Hotspur Harry (12/1), Sands Chorus (12/1), First Dance (18/1), Global Art (20/1), Fieldsman (40/1), Secret Glow (50/1), Time Zone (100/1), Hugosthere (100/1)

MERCURIUS POWER didn't need to improve when doubling his career tally at Epsom (8.5f) 9 days ago but not for the first time he showed a willing attitude to get the job done and he's fancied to go well again upped in trip now partnered by Simon Walker. Last year's winner Balgair has a decent record fresh and is feared, along with Mark of Respect and Luna Magic.
