Eeetee¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 76| CD

17/2

C&D winner who has slipped in weights and ran best race for new yard when third of 11 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to firm) 16 days ago, coming from further back than others in-the-frame. One to consider.

Form: 608-683

(9)

Shimmering Sands^t⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 75| D

7/1

Good winner equipped with a first-time tongue strap at Doncaster (10.2f) last June. Efforts mixed thereafter and, after 9 months off, he was pulled up in handicap at York (10.2f) 47 days ago, reportedly bled. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 18470-P

(8)

Tessy Lad^b1,t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: T Eaves| T: S England| OR: 73| D

50/1

Swerved and unseated at the first over hurdles at Perth 2 starts back and again failed to complete when pulled up over fences at Market Rasen (17.2f) 11 days ago. Blinkers reached for ahead of this return to the level and he's a good bit to prove at present.

Form: 1722-69

Princess Niyla⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rowan Scott| T: A D Brown| OR: 63| D

7/2

Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 8/1) 9 days ago, drawing clear final 100 yds. Carries penalty. Can make presence felt.

Form: 986521

See That Storm¹⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 76| BF

11/4

Thrice-raced winner. 15/8, third of 6 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f). Open to improvement now that he makes the switch to handicaps/turf with his new stable firmly amongst the winners. Respected.

Form: 1-23

(7)

Berry Edge^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: D Thompson| OR: 64| D

10/1

Latest win at Carlisle (9f) in June and whilst he ran creditably when fourth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to firm) 23 days ago, he was again very slowly away. Needs treating with a degree of caution.

Form: 80-4014

(3)

Elemental Eye²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 72

4/1

Remains a maiden after 8 starts but firmly back on track of late, good second of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm) 26 days ago. One to consider nudged up 2 lb.

Form: 42-8722

(2)

Brora Breeze¹⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: A Nicol| OR: 63| D

66/1

Won a Chepstow novice (10f) for Andrew Balding last summer but well held in trio of starts over hurdles/on Flat for Rebecca Menzies during the winter. Likely best watched on debut for new stable here following 6 months off.

Form: 64/317-5

(10)

Sonning^p,t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: D Brooke| OR: 63| D

25/1

Underperformed back over hurdles at Uttoxeter in June, but not seen to best effect when seventh of 9 to Princess Niyla in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Potentially very well handicapped if he can build on that.

Form: 753577

(6)

Rise Hall^b³³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Russell| T: G R Oldroyd| OR: 61| D

20/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2019. 33/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm) 33 days ago, nearest finish. Has fallen a long way in the weights if building on that here. Blinkers again the headgear of choice.

Form: 50-4484

(11)

Epidavros²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: K Scott| OR: 69

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good, 14/1) 27 days ago, well positioned. Changed hands for 11,000 gns subsequently and that may not prove her limit.

Form: 4623

Forecasts

See That Storm (11/4), Princess Niyla (7/2), Elemental Eye (4/1), Shimmering Sands (7/1), Eeetee (17/2), Berry Edge (10/1), Epidavros (20/1), Rise Hall (20/1), Sonning (25/1), Tessy Lad (50/1), Brora Breeze (66/1)

A winner on his first of 3 starts for Andrew Balding, SEE THAT STORM appeals as the type to progress further now handicapping for his new yard and he could be the way to go back from a break/on turf debut. Elemental Eye is shaping up well and looks a big threat following his encouraging Haydock second. Eeetee and Beverley-scorer Princess Niyla are others in the mix.
