United Force^p²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: C Hobson| OR: 62| D

80/1

Successful at Leicester in April but has lost his way since his next start, again failing to beat a rival in 10-runner handicap at this course (10f, 200/1) 26 days ago. Best watched back down in trip.

Ravenglass^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: A Wintle| OR: 61

3/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Below form seventh of 10 in handicap (8/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 15 days ago. However, ran well on his previous 2 starts so could bounce back dropped in grade.

H Key Lails¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 61

15/2

Has won twice at Wolverhampton this year, with latest success in May. After 12 weeks off, back on track when third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (1m, AW, 12/1) 19 days ago. Could take a step forward from his recent run.

Dors Toyboy^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: D K Ivory| OR: 60| CD

3/1

C&D winner. In frame last 2 starts, running well from widest draw when fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 9/2) 12 days ago. Merits consideration from 2 lb below his last winning mark.

Form: 6-75634

(10)

High Court Judge³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Coakley| T: H Spiller| OR: 60| C

7/1

Course winner. Left previous effort behind when third of 7 in handicap (13/2) at this course (1m) a month ago, albeit better placed than most. On a workable mark but more needed to take advantage.

Form: 50P703

Once Adaay^t,v²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 58

11/2

In first-time visor, again ran creditably when second of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 7/1) 20 days ago. Can make his presence felt.

Form: 557632

Nubough^t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: T E Whelan| T: M Pattinson| OR: 57| BF| C

12/1

Two wins from 50 Flat runs but placed on his last 4 starts, conceding first run when third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 9/4) a month ago. Can give his running once more.

Form: 673233

Stella Hogan⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 56| D

7/1

Off the mark in good style in 14-runner handicap (28/1) at Kempton (7f) 57 days ago, overcoming positional bias. Capable of scoring again now that she's up and running, especially with a strong pace to aim at.

Form: 855681

Maurices Men²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 50

33/1

Well held in each of his 3 outings so far, ninth of 11 in minor event (20/1) at this C&D 3 weeks ago. Needs to leave his previous form behind as he makes his handicap debut.

Form: 859

(2)

Nemorum¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Harry Davies| T: T Kent| OR: 49| CD

16/1

Sole win at this C&D winner in October. However, down the field both starts since, ridden too aggressively when last of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 844190

(3)

Dazzerling^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 45

28/1

Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Fourth of 10 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D 3 weeks ago, plugging on. Looks to be vulnerable once again.

Form: 795664

Forecasts

Dors Toyboy (3/1), Ravenglass (3/1), Once Adaay (11/2), Stella Hogan (7/1), High Court Judge (7/1), H Key Lails (15/2), Nubough (12/1), Nemorum (16/1), Dazzerling (28/1), Maurices Men (33/1), United Force (80/1)

STELLA HOGAN was value for extra when getting off the mark at Kempton last time, held up in a steadily-run race, so she is taken to follow up with the promise of a stronger pace to aim at in this contest. Dors Toyboy has made the frame on his last 2 starts and could be thereabouts again, while Once Adaay also enters calculations.
