This Ones For Fred²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: B A Curtis| T: P D Evans| OR: 60| D

9/2

Responded well to a positive ride and showed improved form to resume winning ways at Lingfield (12f, AW) 4 weeks ago. One to consider from 3 lb higher mark back on turf.

Form: 2-53351

Jamil^t¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 59| CD

7/2

4-time C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 7/2, won 7-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 13 days ago by ½ length from Valley of Flowers, cosily. Record around here entitles him to respect but he was seen to good effect on that occasion.

Form: 4-31631

Valley Of Flowers^h¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward| OR: 55| BF| D

2/1

Latest win at Beverley (12.1f) in June. 15/8, creditable ½-length second of 7 to Jamil in handicap at this C&D (good) 13 days ago, typically pulling hard but running on. Expected to be thereabouts again.

Form: 221522

Trusty Scout^h²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 52| D

11/1

Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Hamilton (11.1f, soft) 24 days ago, left poorly placed. Can't be ruled out for all he's another infrequent winner.

Form: 467626

Imenso²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Murtagh| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 55

200/1

150/1, last of 10 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to soft) 29 days ago, struggling home turn. That was his first start for 12 months and this ought to reveal more.

Form: 46206-0

King Harry⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 54| BF

11/4

Lightly-raced maiden who tends to race freely and disappointed having attracted support when eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (11.6f) back in June. However, he has been gelded subsequently so interesting if the market speaks in his favour again for in-form yard.

Form: 67-4458

Miss Raindrop⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: A Mullen| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 45

22/1

Maiden who wasn't disgraced in trio of 3-y-o handicaps on turf prior to a disappointing run back on all weather at Newcastle (10.2f) 5 days ago. Needs to leave that in her wake back on turf.

Forecasts

Valley Of Flowers (2/1), King Harry (11/4), Jamil (7/2), This Ones For Fred (9/2), Odd Venture (9/2), Trusty Scout (11/1), Miss Raindrop (22/1), Imenso (200/1)

Not a great deal of pace on and with that in mind it could pay to side with Lingfield scorer THIS ONES FOR FRED. He responded well to a positive ride when accounting for 7 rivals that day and a 3 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid from the front back on turf. Old rivals Valley of Flowers and Jamil rate next best, whilst Odd Venture isn't out of things either.
