Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 75| CD

33/1

Quirky sort who won at Doncaster in June but looked a tricky ride when seventh of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good) 12 days ago, slowly away. Others more persuasive.

Plastic Paddy⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 68| D

10/3

Proved better than ever under an attacking ride when winning 12-runner handicap (3/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 8 days ago, keeping on well. Warrants respect under a 5 lb penalty.

Form: 2-33551

Flyawaydream²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 77

5/4

Made the most of a good opportunity in 9-runner maiden at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 21 days ago, making all. Into handicaps now and his opening mark looks very fair judged on his overall form, so holds leading claims.

22/1

10/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 71 days ago. No more than averagely treated.

Form: 32-3244

28/1

Winner at Newmarket in June. Turned in his first poor effort when last of 9 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm) 21 days ago, slowly away. Type to bounce back quickly.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jefferson Smith| T: I Mohammed| OR: 75| C

16/1

9/1

Followed a good run with a below-par one when sixth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 28 days ago, possibly finding the race coming too soon after just 2 days off. May bounce back.

Form: 222526

Forecasts

Flyawaydream (5/4), Plastic Paddy (10/3), Smart Contender (9/2), They Don't Know (9/1), Justice Protecol (16/1), Havana Goldrush (20/1), Adelita (22/1), Giovanni Baglione (28/1), Le Reveur (33/1)

FLYAWAYDREAM heads into handicaps from what appears a very fair opening mark judged on his overall form, so he's taken to follow up his recent maiden success at Chepstow. Plastic Paddy warrants respect under a 5 lb penalty, while They Don't Know is expected to bounce back from a below-par display at Lingfield
