Pub Crawl^p,t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁷⁾| T: T Collier| OR: 70

16/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Following a wind op and with cheekpieces on for 1st time, step back in right direction when fourth of 11 in maiden (33/1) at this C&D 8 days ago. Task is now to build on that.

Form: 263-084

Glasses Up^p⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: P Mathers| T: R M Smith| OR: 69

14/1

Successful at Ayr in August, but one of season's lesser efforts when seventh of 11 in handicap (33/1) at this course (10.2f) a week ago. Bounce back called for returned to this longer trip.

Form: 246757

Down To The Kid³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 67| D

9/2

Again below form when fifth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 25/1) 36 days ago. However, it still remains early days with his current yard and he's now dropped below his last winning mark.

Form: 023075

Franco Grasso¹⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 67

40/1

Made second start for current yard a winning one at Yarmouth in May. However, well held both starts since, last of 6 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good, 12/1) when last seen in June. Others more persuasive.

Form: 4-77106

Ring Fenced²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 66

100/1

Hasn't gone on from her Kempton success in January (left Andrew Balding after her next start), tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (10.2f, 250/1) 24 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 3-15900

Evening Story²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 71

7/2

Resumed winning ways in 14-runner handicap at Kempton (11f) 25 days ago, eased near line. Could have more still to offer upped further in trip on first run for yard after leaving Daniel & Claire Kubler. Major player.

Form: 2-31051

Mrs Meader³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 65| D

11/1

Consistent in the main this season without winning, again making the frame when fourth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 16/1) 32 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 433524

Bustaam¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 69

33/1

Failed to improve making handicap debut when tenth of 12 in handicap (17/2) at this course (10.2f) 10 days ago. Has something to find as he goes further up in distance.

Form: 4-350

Luna Effect^h²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 68

9/4

In first-time hood after 6 months off, showed improved form upped in trip when second of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) 25 days ago, keeping on well. Not taken lightly.

Form: 506-72

(5)

Dance Time⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Laura Pearson| T: D Loughnane| OR: 66| D

8/1

Making handicap/all-weather debut, opened account in 6-runner handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 33/1) 43 days ago, staying on to lead final 1f. Could go well again now that she's up and running.

Form: 4-431

(10)

Graces Quest⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 60| D

13/2

Ran up to best when first past post in 10-runner handicap (13/2) at this C&D 8 days ago, subsequently demoted having hampered rival entering final 1f. Hadn't looked complicated before, though, so she merits consideration.

Form: 63562D

Forecasts

Luna Effect (9/4), Evening Story (7/2), Down To The Kid (9/2), Graces Quest (13/2), Dance Time (8/1), Mrs Meader (11/1), Glasses Up (14/1), Pub Crawl (16/1), Bustaam (33/1), Franco Grasso (40/1), Ring Fenced (100/1)

EVENING STORY built on the promise of her previous run when scoring at Kempton last month, showing a good turn of foot, and she can continue her progress upped further in trip on her first start for Grant Tuer. Luna Effect also showed improved form when runner-up on her latest outing and is feared most, ahead of Graces Quest.
