Turntable⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁵⁾| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 91| C

33/1

Ended time with Chris Wall with 2 wins at Newmarket (9f/1¼m) but hasn't been able to get competitive in a trio of outings for this yard, blowing the start the last twice. Best watched for now.

Form: 511-070

City Streak⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 91| D

9/2

Two wins from 5 runs this season, posting career best when taking 7-runner handicap at Ascot (12f, good to soft, 6/1) latest. More needed up 4 lb here but couldn't rule out all the same.

Form: 2-31251

Crystal Delight^t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Jim Crowley| T: W Jarvis| OR: 87

9/1

Confirmed returned to form when solid sixth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good, 18/1) 18 days ago but is still to add to his success on AW last December.

Matchless^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: P J McDonald| T: J Candlish| OR: 84| CD

18/1

C&D winner on return in May but been disappointing in more recent starts and makes limited appeal. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 5-13097

(7)

In The Breeze³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Appleby| OR: 83| D

15/2

Posted best effort thus far when winning 11-runner handicap at Haydock (10.2f, heavy) 39 days ago, going clear. 6 lb higher now but another bold bid anticipated.

Form: 653131

Vaguely Royal¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 87| CD

11/2

Lightly-raced gelding who got off the mark over C&D in June. Shaped better than distance beaten when seventh in Melrose (13.9f, good to firm) at York latest and return to shorter trip looks a good move.

Form: 3-2217

(4)

Rogue Sea²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: Tom Clover| OR: 86

7/1

Upped form a notch when taking Ripon minor event in June but not progressed in handicaps since and has something to prove at present.

Form: 12176

(6)

El Jasor^p1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Spencer| T: C Fellowes| OR: 86| D

11/4

Put disappointing York run behind him when landing 13-runner handicap at Newbury (12f, good) last month. 6 lb higher now but remains low mileage. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 9-27191

(3)

Cavern Club^p²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: W Buick| T: M Botti| OR: 81| D

7/1

Returned to winning ways when taking 8-runner handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm, 3/1) 20 days ago. Finds himself in a stronger event now but can't be ruled out.

Form: 1-35481

Forecasts

El Jasor (11/4), City Streak (9/2), Harappan (5/1), Vaguely Royal (11/2), Cavern Club (7/1), Rogue Sea (7/1), In The Breeze (15/2), Crystal Delight (9/1), Matchless (18/1), Turntable (33/1)

HARAPPAN has looked a good prospect in a couple of outings for Iain Jardine and makes plenty of appeal on his switch to handicapping. El Jasor and In The Breeze rate the principal dangers.
