Micks Dream^p³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 68

6/1

Runner-up twice at Brighton in the spring. Below form last 3 starts, unsuited by step up in trip when seventh of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 33 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Chance if rediscovering old form.

Ellade¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon| OR: 67| D

12/1

It's now 12 runs since her last win but she posted a good second of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) last month. Possibly unsuited by heavy ground when last of 6 at Sandown last time and she's expected to be closer to form here.

Wizarding²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: H Main| OR: 61

11/1

Won at Kempton in the winter but hasn't really fired acrosss 3 starts this summer, only seventh of 8 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 12-3567

(7)

Aviary^h¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Hogan| T: A Wintle| OR: 57

12/1

Offered little after 9-month break when eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (5.7f, good) 15 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Has edged back down weights but others are likelier winners.

Form: 15258-8

Tamay Girl⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 59

50/1

Forecasts

Dubai Dreamer (9/4), Loddon (11/2), Micks Dream (6/1), Eye Of The Water (7/1), Rival (7/1), Wizarding (11/1), Ellade (12/1), Aviary (12/1), Ciotog (14/1), Tamay Girl (50/1)

DUBAI DREAMER appeals as the type to improve now handicapping and Roger Varian's colt is fancied to make a successful switch into this company. Ellade found herself bogged down in the heavy ground at Chepstow last time but had been in good heart prior, whilst Loddon is less exposed than most here and also makes the shortlist.
