First Impression⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 82| BF| D

9/4

10/3, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 90 days ago, running on. Has a good record when there's cut in the ground and he's likely to be tuned up returning from a break for an in-form stable.

Form: 414-682

Jean Baptiste^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: W Buick| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 80| CD

5/2

Hasn't won for a while but his mark is sliding and he's been running respectably of late. Should be well positioned, so worth considering.

Form: 596234

Stately Home¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: K Stott| T: S Lycett| OR: 78

5/2

Made a winning reappearance at Kempton (8f) in March and was right back on track when third at Sandown 10 days ago. Well respected.

Flight Of Angels¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston| OR: 74| D

11/2

Didn't need to improve when making all in handicap at Wetherby (10f) in June and has run to a similar level on both subsequent outings. Might get an easy lead under jockey that rides the track particularly well.

Form: 40-5123

Ae Fond Kiss¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: E De Giles| OR: 61

12/1

Showed benefit of her reappearance when second of 7 in handicap at Sandown in May. Underperformed at Chepstow 9 weeks later, however, which leaves her with something to prove.

Form: 143-626

Forecasts

First Impression (9/4), Stately Home (5/2), Jean Baptiste (5/2), Flight Of Angels (11/2), Precision Storm (10/1), Ae Fond Kiss (12/1)

FIRST IMPRESSION was second to one that followed up when last seen 3 months ago and returns at a time when his stable is flying, so he takes preference over Flight of Angels, who might get her own way in front under Franny Norton. Stately Home was back to form and slightly better than the result at Sandown recently, so he's another one to consider.
