Masqool²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁷⁾| T: H J Evans| OR: 72| C

17/2

Course winner last autumn. Successful at Lingfield (AW) and Nottingham this spring. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Chelmsford (1¼m) 20 days ago.

Form: 151464

Born Ruler⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 72

6/4

Wolverhampton maiden winner doubled his tally when readily landing 8-runner 1¼m Sandown handicap last Friday. Much respected under the 6 lb penalty.

Form: 7-31731

Zain Farhh^h1²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P R Webber| OR: 70

25/1

Fair form in maiden/novices. Too free on 1½m Newmarket handicap debut last month and now drops slightly in trip with a hood added tackling AW for the first time.

Form: 2-447

Down To The Kid²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 70| BF

18/1

Won over 1½m at Southwell in March. Placed back at Southwell and over this C&D in June but ran poorly at Southwell last month. First run for yard after leaving Ivan Furtado

Form: 100230

Jack Sparowe³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: N Callan| T: J Butler| OR: 68

9/2

Improved to win 1m Bath handicap in August. Respectable fifth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (1¼m, good) 35 days ago. Placed over shorter trips here last year.

Form: 562-515

Wadacre Gomez⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston| OR: 73

5/2

11/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) 45 days ago. Building up a fine AW record and a 3 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him making another bold bid.

Form: 167V31

Mhajim³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 65

200/1

AW novice winner for the Gosdens but has beaten only a couple home in 3 handicaps for new yard this summer.

Form: 216-000

(5)

Pablo Prince¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: K Jewell| OR: 64

22/1

Won over 1½m at Lingfield in January. Recorded creditable fourths back there in February/March but has a 6-month absence to overcome so might be best watched this time.

Form: 543-144

(10)

Socially Shady³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: J Quinn| T: J & S Best| OR: 63

150/1

Unreliable sort. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1½m, AW, 100/1) 32 days ago. Others are preferred.

Form: 31-9477

Pink Jazz²³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: J Butler| OR: 62| C

66/1

Left previous efforts for this yard behind when winning 1m handicap here in February but hasn't been seen since. Tackles a significantly longer trip on return (has won over as far as 9.5f) and betting perhaps the best guide to what is expected.

Form: 6959-61

(9)

Fravanco³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Madgwick| OR: 62

8/1

Winner at Lingfield in July. 17/2, good fifth of 10 in handicap at Bath (13f, good to soft) 34 days ago and would have finished a bit closer had he not been denied a clear run towards the finish.

Forecasts

Born Ruler (6/4), Wadacre Gomez (5/2), Jack Sparowe (9/2), Fravanco (8/1), Masqool (17/2), Down To The Kid (18/1), Pablo Prince (22/1), Zain Farhh (25/1), Mythical Guest (25/1), Pink Jazz (66/1), Socially Shady (150/1), Mhajim (200/1)

WADACRE GOMEZ has a steadily progressive record on AW and is narrowly preferred to fellow 3-y-o Born Ruler, who won nicely at Sandown last Friday. Masqool may prove best of the remainder.
