(5)

Dungar Glory^t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: D C Costello| T: A Keatley| OR: 76| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Leicester in June. 13/2, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (9.8f, good) 7 days ago. One or two of these are preferred for win purposes.

Form: 154385

Casilli²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 74| C| D

9/2

Course winner. Fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (9.8f, soft, 13/2) 29 days ago, would have benefited from stronger handling. Will get that here and she's a player off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 057534

Urban Decay¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: M L W Bell| OR: 77| D

7/2

Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at Southwell in April. Fifth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 9/4) 18 days ago. Improvement needed on this handicap debut.

Form: 2-15

(4)

Just Janet¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75

18/1

Latest win at Catterick in July. 10/1, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 221408

(1)

Eastern Charm²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 73| CD

3/1

Promising sort. 5 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (8/11) at this C&D (soft) 29 days ago, always holding on. Only gone up 3 lb and she is probably capable of better still.

Form: 141111

(3)

Golden Melody^p1¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67| D

3/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft, 3/1) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and should have a part to play.

Form: 722642

(7)

Gone¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 71| D

11/1

Five wins from 19 Flat runs. 4 wins from 12 runs this year. 9/4, fourth of 5 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good) 11 days ago, doing too much too soon. Will be a threat if she puts her best foot forward.

Form: 244624

Forecasts

Eastern Charm (3/1), Golden Melody (3/1), Urban Decay (7/2), Casilli (9/2), Dungar Glory (7/1), Gone (11/1), Just Janet (18/1)

EASTERN CHARM left the impression she wasn't doing all that much in front when winning her fourth race on the bounce over C&D last month and, up just 3 lb, her winning spree looks set to continue with further progress very much on the cards. Casilli continues to edge down the weights and she could be the one to follow the selection home, though Golden Melody and Gone are also likely to be on the premises.
