Ventura Express²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 86

11/2

Latest win at Pontefract in May. 17/2, creditable second of 18 in handicap at York (5f, good) 29 days ago, nearest finish. One for the shortlist back up in trip here.

Form: 481272

Tinto^p1²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: D Nolan| T: M Dods| OR: 85| D

6/1

Below form seventh of 16 in handicap (11/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and could have a part to play if responding favourably to the new headgear.

Form: 4-05437

Glorious Angel¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 87| CD

16/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. 33/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 579530

Venturous²²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Barron| OR: 83| C| D

18/1

Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good, 22/1) 22 days ago. Certainly capable of a big run off this sort of mark but he looks vulnerable based on recent evidence.

Form: 928446

(4)

Bell Shot³²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Barry McHugh| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 82| BF| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 11/4). Off 10 months ahead of this debut for new yard but won't be far away if fully tuned-up for this assignment.

Form: 1/41314-

Fast And Loose^p⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 81| D

8/1

Sixth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm, 7/1) 81 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and, chances are, he'll find one or two of these too good.

Form: 2022-36

(10)

Aplomb⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 81| D

10/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. 14/1, thirteenth of 18 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 84 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 2360-50

(2)

Roundhay Park¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 80| D

11/2

Latest win at York in July. Thirteenth of 16 in handicap (9/1) at York (6f, good) 15 days ago. Not the easiest to predict but he will be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 082510

(1)

Windseeker⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80

14/1

9/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 45 days ago. Down in trip on debut for new yard and probably worth taking on.

Form: 0034-47

(11)

Rock Of England^b³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: E Bethell| OR: 83| D

11/4

Latest win at Hamilton in June. 9/2, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 38 days ago, no match for winner. Likely to be in the thick of things once more.

Form: 546122

(6)

Bossy Parker²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 82

100/1

25/1, first run since leaving John Patrick Murtagh when last of 6 in handicap at Haydock (7f, soft) 21 days ago. Looks set for another struggle.

Form: 189-586

Forecasts

Rock Of England (11/4), Ventura Express (11/2), Roundhay Park (11/2), Tinto (6/1), Fast And Loose (8/1), Aplomb (10/1), Bell Shot (10/1), Windseeker (14/1), Glorious Angel (16/1), Venturous (18/1), Bossy Parker (100/1)

Though BELL SHOT didn't show much in a couple of runs in Bahrain in January, he makes his debut for the Robert Cowell yard on an attractive mark and will have every chance if reproducing something akin to his peak 2022 form. Tinto is another who figures on a workable mark and he rates the main danger ahead of Roundhay Park and Ventura Express.
