Youthful King⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Jack Dace⁽⁷⁾| T: L A Dace| OR: 89

22/1

Useful sort who has held his form well this year and wasn't seen to best effect when only fifth on the Rowley in May, not getting a clear passage. Reportedly suffered an irregular heartbeat at Ascot later that month and off since.

Form: 53455P

Ensured^p1¹⁰⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 85| D

6/1

Snapped losing sequence dating back to 2021 when landing 6-runner handicap at Brighton in April, well on top at the finish. Off since and has left James Fanshawe but joined another good yard. Cheekpieces on.

Form: 70-3251

Charging Thunder^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: N Callan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 85| C| D

15/2

Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of 6 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm) 7 days ago, not ideally placed but he does needs everything to drop right seemingly.

Form: 5-03644

Mighty Bandit²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: W Greatrex| OR: 82

9/4

Fairly useful winner at 17f over hurdles and changed hands for €420,000 from Gordon Elliott. Progressive form on the level, landing 11-runner maiden at Pontefract 3 weeks ago. More to come over this trip and he could be well weighted.

Form: 621

Ludo's Landing⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C Johnston| OR: 79

8/1

Gained reward for his consistency when successful at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) in June and has continued in good heart since, giving his running again when fifth at Yarmouth last week. Should be involved.

Form: 241225

Fighter Command⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 84

13/8

Placed on his first 2 starts and made it third time lucky in 1¼m Windsor maiden in April. Found Newbury handicap a bit too much the following month but he couldn't be in much better hands. Up in trip.

Form: 2-310

Forecasts

Fighter Command (13/8), Mighty Bandit (9/4), Ensured (6/1), Charging Thunder (15/2), Ludo's Landing (8/1), Youthful King (22/1)

Having made a big-money move to Warren Greatrex, MIGHTY BANDIT has progressed nicely on the level, sticking to his task really well when successful in maiden company at Pontefract a month ago. This trip may well unlock more and his mark could be a lenient one. Ludo's Landing is a solid rival, with Ensured also considered starting out for a new yard.
