5/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Gambled-on 11/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Hood on 1st time, cheekpieces on 1st time. Interesting.

4/1

3/1, last of 3 in handicap at Bath (5f, firm) 16 days ago, very slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time. Out of sorts but below last winning mark and the headgear might help.

Form: 160-403

Vape^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J L Flint| OR: 73| D

5/2

Latest win at Chepstow in May. Good second of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Newbury (6f, firm) 18 days ago, sticking to task. One to consider.

Form: 16-4102

Dynamite Katie¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 76

33/1

Lightly-raced winner. 66/1, first run since leaving Miss Natalia Lupini when sixth of 7 in handicap at Newbury (7f, firm) 18 days ago, doing too much too soon.

Form: 71-246

Hydration⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 75

16/5

Won at Kempton (7f) in October. 11/2, third of 6 in novice at Windsor (6f, heavy) 41 days ago. Could do better now handicapping.

Form: 81-3

Reinforce²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: John O'Donoghue| OR: 73

10/1

Maiden. Off 7 months and in first-time hood, 12/1, 5½ lengths last of 10 to Autumnal Breeze in 5f handicap at Tipperary 26 days ago, subsequently disqualified after rider failed to weigh in. Lurks on a tempting mark.

Form: 39430-D

Forecasts

Vape (5/2), Hydration (16/5), Amazonian Dream (4/1), Beyond Equal (5/1), Major Gatsby (10/1), Reinforce (10/1), Endowed (16/1), Dynamite Katie (33/1)

BEYOND EQUAL has his first go in a class 5 since his 3-y-o days and while he's far from the most consistent it's hard to believe he can't cash in off his much-reduced mark soon. He's won here in the past and is worth chancing in new headgear. 3-y-o Hydration could do better now handicapping and is feared along with Vape.
