Motazzen⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: S H James| T: G Boughey| OR: 86| D

6/1

First run since leaving Jean-Claude Rouget when respectable fourth of 5 in handicap (3/1) at Sandown (10f, good) on UK debut 6 days ago. Yard in form but he's not obviously well treated on his French efforts.

Form: 60137-4

Headingley^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 85| C

18/1

Course winner. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good, 22/1) 9 days ago. Better on AW but not been at his best for a few runs. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 326900

Sweeping Statement⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 79

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 9/4, first run since leaving John Joseph Murphy when eye-catching sixth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 48 days ago, not knocked about and finishing with running left. Potential improver on handicap debut.

Form: 64-6

Dickens^h⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: A King| OR: 79

12/1

Dual winner last term. Found little when last of 10 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, soft, 6/1) on return 76 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Hood back on. Still unproven at the trip.

Form: 21316-0

Cu Chulainn^t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: B J Meehan| OR: 79| D

5/1

Career best when cosily winning a messy 5-runner handicap (7/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 12 days ago. Remains with potential at this trip from 3 lb higher mark.

Form: 0-03571

Mark Of Respect¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: R Coakley| T: J G Portman| OR: 79

7/4

11/4, justified market strength to produce a career best victory in 7-runner handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago, well on top finish. Up in trip. Can give another good showing from 5 lb higher mark.

Form: 23-2471

(4)

Tricolore^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: N Callan| T: M Botti| OR: 79

13/2

Length third of 5 to Cu Chulainn in handicap (14/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 12 days ago, challenging from furthest back. Good chance on form.

Form: 756973

Forecasts

Mark Of Respect (7/4), Sweeping Statement (4/1), Cu Chulainn (5/1), Motazzen (6/1), Tricolore (13/2), Dickens (12/1), Headingley (18/1)

A good race, with SWEEPING STATEMENT taken to make a winning handicap debut after catching the eye at Wolverhampton. Cu Chulainn beat Tricolore last time and that pair both hold strong claims, with last time out winner Mark of Respect also in the mix.
