Cool Legend²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: A J Farragher| T: W J Haggas| OR: 80

2/1

AW maiden winner in December. Hasn't taken a step forward in handicaps this summer but he has contested strong events at the York Dante and Epsom Dante meetings. Big player with his sights lowered slightly.

Form: 531-56

(6)

Nini Star²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: D Menuisier| OR: 78

5/1

Fair form, first run for David Menuisier when third of 10 in 1¼m course handicap 4 weeks ago. Needs to build on that now stepping up to 1½m.

Form: 664-23

(8)

Pure Of Heart²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: T E Whelan| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 78

5/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Improved when second of 10 in maiden (13/2) at Lingfield (1½m, AW) 20 days ago. Will need to improve again to defy what isn't an obviously generous opening handicap mark.

Form: 4-52

(7)

Clockwatcher⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Archie Young⁽⁷⁾| T: C Johnston| OR: 76

14/1

Fair maiden. 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (1½m) 51 days ago.

Form: 3285

(4)

Calvert¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: George Downing| T: R A Teal| OR: 75

15/2

Won 1¼m Bath novice last autumn but could only manage a remote fourth on 1½m Leicester handicap debut/reappearance. Needs to leave that well behind.

Form: 3341-4

(5)

Belcamo^h²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 69

15/2

Fair maiden. Fourth of 7 in maiden (6/1) at Catterick (1½m, soft) 29 days ago, not clear run. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 35-2434

(2)

Lord Chamberlain²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: D M Simcock| OR: 68

Promise in his qualifying runs and possible improver now handicapping over a longer trip.

Form: 355

Forecasts

Cool Legend (2/1), Pure Of Heart (5/2), Nini Star (5/1), Road To Wembley (5/1), Belcamo (15/2), Calvert (15/2), Clockwatcher (14/1), Lord Chamberlain (25/1)

ROAD TO WEMBLEY has been freshened up since losing his unbeaten handicap record at Southwell in April and is taken to resume his progression. Cool Legend should find this a little easier than the handicaps he's contested at the York Dante and Epsom Derby meetings and is second choice ahead of David Simcock handicap newcomer Lord Chamberlain.
