Master Grey^p²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: R Kingscote| T: B R Millman| OR: 62| D

14/1

18/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he'll be a threat off this mark if able to bounce back.

Form: 5123-94

(10)

Home And Dry^v1¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D Faulkner| OR: 61| D

5/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D 14 days ago. Each-way chance if able to build on that now tried in a visor with Oisin Murphy booked.

Form: 155/42-4

(9)

Philos^v²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: J Mitchell| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 61| C

9/1

Course winner. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (14f, 18/1) 20 days ago. 3 lb rise could be enough to anchor this 4-y-o here.

Form: 3-82501

(4)

Tazaman¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Saffie Osborne| T: K Frost| OR: 60| C

8/1

Course winner. First run since leaving Mark Loughnane when fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 14 days ago, well positioned. Entitled to come on for that run but others preferred all the same.

Form: 21327/5

(5)

Doublethetrouble^p²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: N Callan| T: J Butler| OR: 60

10/3

Sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 12/1) 27 days ago. That run is best ignored and solid claims judged on string of placed efforts earlier this year.

Form: 6-73236

(6)

Grand Duchess Olga^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 59| D

7/1

Creditable 2¼ lengths sixth of 13 to Philos in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford City (14f) 20 days ago, needing stiffer test. Will get that here and she's a live each-way candidate.

Form: 32-4356

(1)

Grandee⁴⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-8| J: J Quinn| T: J & S Best| OR: 59| D

50/1

Twenty-two runs since last win in 2019. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to firm, 22/1) 45 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere was poor, too, and he's opposable.

Form: 335-866

(11)

Ship To Shore²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: P R Chamings| OR: 57

9/1

Fifth of 8 in handicap (20/1) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 27 days ago. That run will have blown away the cobwebs and he enters calculations.

Form: 64042-5

(12)

Blenheim Lad⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Poulton| OR: 53

11/1

33/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Goodwood (14f, good) 5 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 500-626

(8)

Imperial Cult²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Paddy Bradley| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 51

14/1

Ninth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and others make more appeal.

Form: 66-4069

(7)

Simply Ed²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: T E Whelan| T: A West| OR: 49

125/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 14 lengths last of 13 to Philos in handicap (150/1) at Chelmsford City (14f) 20 days ago. Something to find on form.

Form: 90390

(2)

Blondelle^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 45

125/1

150/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip and big step forward needed.

Form: 040-505

(3)

Clooney³⁶⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 8-9| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: R Woodman| OR: 45

80/1

40/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f), very slowly away. Off 12 months and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 7/86740-

Forecasts

Home And Dry (5/2), Doublethetrouble (10/3), Grand Duchess Olga (7/1), Tazaman (8/1), Philos (9/1), Ship To Shore (9/1), Blenheim Lad (11/1), Imperial Cult (14/1), Master Grey (14/1), Unification (25/1), Grandee (50/1), Clooney (80/1), Blondelle (125/1), Simply Ed (125/1)

This could be the day when DOUBLETHETROUBLE finally gets his head in front. His record will be too off-putting for some but he was knocking on the door prior to his latest effort at Lingfield, which can be safely overlooked, and he has as good a chance as any in this field. Grand Duchess Olga is taken to reverse Chelmsford placings with Philos now that she moves back up in trip, while Ship To Shore (third choice), Home And Dry and Master Grey are others to consider.
