Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 58| D

7/2

Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 7/2) 13 days ago. 1 lb lower now and looks sure to be on the premises.

Ship To Shore⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: P R Chamings| OR: 57| C

7/2

Winner here in June. 14/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 57 days ago, not ideally placed. Worth a second look eased slightly in class here with Oisin Murphy doing the steering.

Easy Equation^p⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: David Egan| T: J S Moore| OR: 55| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in June. 13/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Bath (14f, good) 40 days ago. Looks vulnberable for win purposes.

Club Manager⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 58| BF| D

11/8

Promising sort. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 11/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Nottingham (16f, heavy) 6 days ago, cosily. Unexposed at this trip and will take plenty of stopping under a penalty.

Form: 9-31521

Kitten's Dream^b¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: D Swift| T: S Dixon| OR: 48| CD

28/1

Unreliable individual. C&D winner. 13¼ lengths eighth of 12 to Papa Ricco in handicap (22/1) at this course (14.1f) 12 days ago. Looks up against it.

Form: 568648

Autolycus^p1¹⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: A Forbes| OR: 57

125/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, first run since leaving Amanda Perrett when last of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f). Off 6 months and big step forward needed here upped in trip with first-time cheekpieces enlisted.

Form: 069-55

(5)

Papa Ricco¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods| OR: 57| C

11/2

14/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this course (14.1f) 12 days ago. Up just 2 lb but this looks more demanding and he'll probably find one or two too good.

Form: 546351

Forecasts

Club Manager (11/8), Ship To Shore (7/2), Wannabe Brave (7/2), Papa Ricco (11/2), Easy Equation (12/1), Kitten's Dream (28/1), Autolycus (125/1)

The well-related CLUB MANAGER improved for the step up to 2m when scoring in cosy fashion at Nottingham recently and, with the promise of better to come from him at this trip, he is taken to follow up under a penalty. Wannabe Brave is 7 lb below the mark off which he gained his breakthrough success at Kempton last November and looks a threat on the back of a creditable third at the same course, while Ship To Shore and Papa Ricco can do battle for minor honours.
