Supaspecialawesome^p⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: W Buick| T: H Palmer| OR: 72| D

15/8

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, step back in right direction when seventh of 10 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good, 20/1) 40 days ago, despite pulling hard. Could build on his latest effort back on all-weather.

Form: 21-2607

(8)

Okami¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 72

10/3

Progressed again when winning 6-runner event on handicap debut (10/3) at Chelmsford City (6f) 15 days ago, edging ahead near line. Leading contender with the step up in distance to suit.

Form: 3931

Musical Tribute⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Hayley Turner| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 71

18/5

Again ran well when third of 9 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good, 9/4) 71 days ago, despite having not been ideally placed. Merits consideration back up in trip.

Form: 65-333

Intricate Pillar¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: T Ward| OR: 69| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Not seen to best effect on reappearance, but went backwards from that effort when twelfth of 16 in handicap at Newbury (1m, good, 12/1) 19 days ago. Could fare better returned to this venue.

Form: 81-40

(9)

Change Sings^h²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: George Downing| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 69

25/1

First run since leaving P. Twomey (hood applied and had also been gelded) when fourth of 9 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, soft) 25 days ago. Needs to get back on the up as he makes handicap debut.

Form: 374

(6)

Marsh Lock⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 68

28/1

Has finished well held both starts this year, last of 9 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 20/1) 85 days ago. First run for yard after leaving J. A. Stack.

Form: 56-09

(7)

Miss Gallagher⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: W Jarvis| OR: 65

10/1

Left her reappearance run behind when second of 11 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 42 days ago. Steadily progressive last year until her final outing of the campaign, so she can give another good account.

Form: 7420-02

(3)

Exorbitant²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 60

11/1

Improved when runner-up at Wolverhampton (6.1f) in May, but not in the same form when last of 11 in handicap (9/1) at the same C&D 29 days ago. Still remains early days, though, as he goes up in trip.

Form: 6520

Forecasts

Supaspecialawesome (15/8), Okami (10/3), Musical Tribute (18/5), Intricate Pillar (8/1), Miss Gallagher (10/1), Exorbitant (11/1), Puffable (16/1), Change Sings (25/1), Marsh Lock (28/1)

OKAMI came with a late surge to make a winning handicap debut at Chelmsford 15 days ago and he can follow up with this extra furlong to suit. The main danger could be Musical Tribute, who wasn't beaten far on her latest outing despite racing away from the front pair, while Supaspecialawesome also enters calculations back on all-weather.
