Plastic Paddy⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 75| D

3/1

Two wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (10/3) at Chelmsford City (8f) 8 days ago, keeping on well. Big player under a penalty.

Form: 335511

Milltown Star¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 75

6/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. Good second of 12 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm, 10/1) 18 days ago, clear of rest. Reproduction of that would put him firmly in the picture.

Form: 90-7892

Alpha King²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: P Cosgrave| T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck| OR: 74

14/1

Irresolute performer. Winner at Yarmouth in June. Last of 5 in handicap (22/1) at Newmarket (10f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Opposable.

Form: 333155

Taravara¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: J Mitchell| T: S Pearce| OR: 74

4/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Still, he was a sespectable sixth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 15 days ago and merits respect back down in trip off a 1 lb lower mark.

Form: 5533-46

(4)

Raqraaq⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Cieren Fallon| T: P R Chamings| OR: 72

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 11¼ lengths last of 11 to King Cabo in handicap at this C&D (50/1) 86 days ago, left poorly placed. Others more persuasive on balance.

Form: 7440

Love Dreams⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Hector Crouch| T: M Blake| OR: 72| D

11/1

Latest win at Windsor in April. 15/2, third of 5 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Now 1 lb below last winning mark and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 134753

Cabinet Maker¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 75| CD

4/1

Dual C&D winner this year. Last of 14 in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 13 days ago, not clear run. It may be best to overlook that effort and he'll be danger to all if on-song.

Form: 511510

Dubai Immo^p,t²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 75

28/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 2 in minor event (9/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 28 days ago, flattered by proximity to the winner. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 2-24462

(13)

Swashbuckler⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Havlin| T: T Lacey| OR: 74

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2, last of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 57 days ago, possibly amiss. Improvement needed on debut for new yard if he's to emerge on top here.

Form: 58-426

(9)

Snapcracklepop¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽³⁾| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 74| D

10/1

Two wins from 6 runs this year. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 9/2) 15 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Makes polytrack debut and needs to raise his game a touch.

Form: 124418

King Cabo^h³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett| T: L A Dace| OR: 73| CD

18/1

C&D winner in June. 11/2, fourth of 6 in handicap back at this C&D 31 days ago. (gelded since). Down 2 lb and couldn't rule out back in 0-75 company.

Form: 3-51924

(5)

Dynakite⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: L Carter| OR: 69| CD

33/1

C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. First run since leaving Robyn Brisland when ninth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 41 days ago. Others preferred.

Forecasts

Plastic Paddy (3/1), Taravara (4/1), Cabinet Maker (4/1), Milltown Star (6/1), Snapcracklepop (10/1), Love Dreams (11/1), Vitalline (12/1), Alpha King (14/1), King Cabo (18/1), Piffle (20/1), Raqraaq (28/1), Dubai Immo (28/1), Swashbuckler (33/1), Dynakite (33/1)

The vote goes to MILLTOWN STAR, who pulled clear of the rest when chasing home Sly Madam (winner again since) at Epsom recently, leaving the impression that he's ready to capitalise on the handicapper's mercy. The hat-trick seeking Plastic Paddy is an obvious danger, while Taravara also features prominently on the shortlist, despite the fact that he's a 16-race maiden. Cabinet Maker and King Cabo are others worthy of consideration in an open-looking race,
