Ghathanfar⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: D Swift| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 83| C| D

11/8

In the the form of his life at present, scoring over C&D last month before making light of a rise in the weights back down at 5f at York in first-time cheekpieces (off now) last Friday. 5 lb penalty unlikely to prevent him making another bold bid.

Form: 642211

Dynamic Force²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 88| D

7/1

Winner at Nottingham in June but down the field either side of that, although it was a Royal Ascot handicap latterly and Danny Tudhope won on him last year.

Form: 273-910

(7)

Rayong⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 83| CD

15/2

Second C&D win of his career when seeing off 12 rivals on reappearance in April. Not in the same form at Hamilton and Epsom since but respected back at a venue which clearly suits.

Form: 247-170

(6)

Ventura Express¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 83| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 7/2) 13 days ago, just holding on. Ought to remain competitive up 3 lb.

Form: 30-4261

James Watt^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: P Hanagan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 82| D

14/1

Latest win at Ripon in May. Also second at Nottingham in May but he found his run of form coming to a halt when 10¾ lengths eleventh of 12 to Ghathanfar at York (5f, good to firm, 9/1) 7 days ago.

Form: 7-46120

(5)

Rambuso Creek¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 80| BF| D

7/2

Posted career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) last month. Looked unlucky when length fourth at Beverley (5f) 13 days ago, finishing with running left after being denied a clear run. Worth another chance.

Form: 323-514

(2)

Roydmoor³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 71| D

25/1

In good form on AW over the winter and may have needed the run after 5 months off when only sixth of 7 over C&D (good) 39 days ago.

Form: 013-336

Forecasts

Ghathanfar (11/8), Rambuso Creek (7/2), Dynamic Force (7/1), Ventura Express (7/1), Rayong (15/2), James Watt (14/1), Roydmoor (25/1)

RAMBUSO CREEK didn't enjoy the rub of the green at Beverley last time and Kevin Ryan's 3-y-o can show he's still a sprinter on the up here. The thriving Ghathanfar can give him most to do ahead of course- specialist Rayong.
