Settings
Selected odds by:
On a feasible mark and seemed to react well to first-time cheekpieces when fifth at Kempton 3 weeks ago. Not one to rule out.
|
9/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 30 days ago, well positioned. One to be interested in.
|
Winner at Windsor in June. Very good second of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm, 6/5) 11 days ago, no match for winner. One to consider.
|
Latest win at Lingfield in December and ran well the next two outings. Might have needed his return from a break at Windsor last time, so not ruled out back up in trip.
|
Scored at Brighton in May. Creditable second of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) a month ago. Likely to be in the mix.
|
Poor handicap hurdler who down the field at Southwell last time. Blinkered for this return to the Flat and he's potentially well treated.
|
Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Claims if he can back that up.
|
Modest handicapper who has lost his form lately. Hard to make a case for.
|
Hasn't won for some time and latest effort at Brighton doesn't suggest he's about to buck the trend.
|
Modest filly who didn't convince with her stamina for this trip at Windsor last time. Has more to prove than some.
|
Limited maiden who didn't feature in a poor race at Lingfield last time. Others are more persuasive.
|
Capable from this mark on his day and took a positive step despite meeting trouble when third at Lingfield last time. Definite player if he can build on that.
|
Confirmed encouragement of reappearance at the second attempt when scoring at Goodwood last time. Type to go on progressing and is worth a chance to go in again.
|
Still not completely exposed and seemed to benefit from the step up in trip when a clear second at Windsor 4 days ago. Upped further in distance and capable of getting involved if the race doesn't come too soon.

OUR PAPA SMURF is unexposed in relation to his rivals and he took a step forward when winning a 13-runner handicap at Goodwood last time. The longer trip should be suitable and he's taken to edge out Thursday, who only found one too good at Lingfield 11 days ago. Angel On High is another one to consider.
