Blue Flame⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 76| CD

5/1

C&D winner. 5/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 52 days ago, not ideally placed. Better showing likely from handy draw.

Form: 382437

(9)

Flatley⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: David Probert| T: A Wintle| OR: 74

7/1

Last of 6 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good) 52 days ago, fading final 1f. Hasn't always looked straightforward but majority of his better efforts have come on AW if he can bounce back.

Form: 4-24256

Milltown Star¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 74| C| D

2/1

Course winner who has been given a chance by the assessor and arrives here having made the frame in handicaps at Epsom/Kempton in recent weeks. Worth considering back down in trip.

Form: 0-78924

(8)

Dark Swansong^b²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 76| CD

9/1

C&D winner. 12/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good) 25 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 926295

(3)

Minwah^t1³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 76

8/1

Unreliable sort. Creditable third of 7 in maiden (3/1) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Return to handicaps rates a likely plus for all she remains a maiden.

Form: 202243

(7)

Chookie Dunedin¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Watson| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 73| CD

22/1

4-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Below form thirteenth of 24 in handicap (40/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 11 days ago, unable to sustain effort. This more suitable if he can bounce back returned to AW.

Form: 218860

(5)

Global Warning¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: George Wood| T: J Butler| OR: 71| CD

12/1

C&D winner who returned to form when runner-up over 6f here last month. However, not in same form when tenth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 11 days ago, pushed along 2f out and making no impression. Not one to write off.

Form: 879820

(4)

Rocket Yogi¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 73| D

5/1

Winner at Yarmouth (7f) in May. 14/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Should give another good account.

Profound Alexander^b²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 72| D

20/1

Made it tenth time lucky (in first-time blinkers) when taking a heavy ground Ffos Las maiden (7.3f, heavy) last month. Not disgraced despite finishing only eighth in 10-runner Epsom handicap (7f) since and this at least rates less demanding.

Form: 25-2418

Forecasts

Milltown Star (2/1), Melodramatica (4/1), Trois Vallees (4/1), Blue Flame (5/1), Rocket Yogi (5/1), Flatley (7/1), Minwah (8/1), Dark Swansong (9/1), Global Warning (12/1), Profound Alexander (20/1), Clarets Glory (20/1), Chookie Dunedin (22/1)

MILLTOWN STAR's losing run tempers enthusiasm but there have been more positive signs from his much-reduced mark of late and, back at a venue where he's gone well previously, he could well be ready to strike. Blue Flame and Rocket Yogi head up the dangers.
