Executive Decision^h⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 87| D

7/1

Useful handicapper, successful at Goodwood and Chepstow (both 6f) last summer and highlighted her turn may be imminent when second of 5 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, heavy) 7 days ago. Very much one to bear in mind from this mark.

Form: 07-6442

Under The Twilight⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: H Crouch| T: M Blake| OR: 86| CD

12/1

Made it 3-3 here when landing this race 12 months ago. Added to her tally on return at Windsor during the spring and best effort since when ninth of 16 back there last month (unlucky not finish closer having encountered traffic problems). One to consider.

Form: 1-15769

Bishop's Crown^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 84| CD

12/1

Bright start to the campaign when winning at Windsor prior to finishing runner-up at Goodwood (6f, heavy) in May. Back at that level of late, cheekpieces refitted when landing 10-runner C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Respected nudged up 3 lb.

Solar Aclaim⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: James Doyle| T: H Al Jehani| OR: 78| CD

11/4

3-y-o who is building up a solid profile on soft/heavy, bouncing back to his best when winning 9-runner handicap at Goodwood (6f, heavy, 16/1) 8 days ago. No surprise to see him out under a penalty and another with claims in a competitive affair.

The Good Biscuit¹⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: J Channon| OR: 81| BF| D

14/1

Runner-up for the second time in 6f handicaps this summer when going down by only a head at Ripon (good) in June. Had a break since so fresh going into the autumn. Respected up just 2 lb for all this rates tougher.

Form: 115-242

Tyger Bay^b,t²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan| T: C Allen| OR: 80| D

33/1

Landed back-to-back handicaps at Catterick/Bath in April. Below form in pair of AW handicaps following a mid-season break of late but his mark is steadily easing at least.

Form: 311298

Noel Fox⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 79| CD

13/2

Steadily progressive 3-y-o, who doubled her tally in 3-runner Lingfield handicap (5f) in June. Found life tougher when tenth in 16-runner handicap at Glorious Goodwood (5f) 63 days ago but she's in good hands and may yet have more to offer. Unproven on this sort of ground, however.

Form: 61210

Nariko¹³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Palmer| OR: 78| D

13/2

Produced a career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Haydock (6f, good to soft) in May, keeping on well. Off since but that form has worked out well and a 7 lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold bid with Oisin Murphy again in the saddle.

Form: 51-4441

Bourgeoisie³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 77

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden who finished runner-up on 3 of her 4 starts at 2 yrs. Opening mark looked high enough and she failed to come on for a recent run when eleventh of 16 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Others stronger returned to sprinting.

Form: 5222-50

Grenham Bay^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR: 70| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Respectable 2½ lengths fourth of 10 to Bishop's Crown in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 11/1) 20 days ago. Fallen back down to last winning mark ahead of this but others appeal more for win purposes.

Form: 347364

Arnaz²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 71| BF

14/1

Winner at Brighton in May. 3/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Newbury (6f, soft) 28 days ago, keeping on without threatening front pair. Claims of hitting the frame again for all a return to 7f may suit ideally.

Form: 154323

Snuggle²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Dace⁽⁷⁾| T: L A Dace| OR: 68| D

25/1

Latest win at Windsor (6f) in April. 18/1, good length second of 10 to Bishop's Crown in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 20 days ago. No reason why he won't give another good account.

Form: 123782

Land Of Magic^h,t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Gina Mangan| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 68| CD

11/2

Bagged a third career success over C&D last month and matched that level from 4 lb higher mark when 1¼ lengths second of 9 to Solar Aclaim in handicap at Goodwood (6f, heavy) 8 days ago. Each-way possibilities again in a competitive affair.

Forecasts

Solar Aclaim (11/4), Land Of Magic (11/2), Nariko (13/2), Noel Fox (13/2), Executive Decision (7/1), Under The Twilight (12/1), Bishop's Crown (12/1), Amazonian Dream (12/1), The Good Biscuit (14/1), Arnaz (14/1), Grenham Bay (25/1), Snuggle (25/1), Tyger Bay (33/1), Bourgeoisie (66/1)

NARIKO showed improved form and was notably strong at the finish when doubling her tally in a race that worked out well at Haydock in the spring. A 7 lb rise for that success looks fair and she could be worth siding with back from a break. Executive Decision knocked firmly on the door at Newmarket recently and she's a serious threat. Solar Aclaim and last year's winner Under The Twilight are others to consider. Bishop's Crown is in the mix too.
