Charging Thunder^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 92| BF| D

10/3

Latest win at Southwell in March. 5/6, second of 3 in handicap at Beverley (16.2f, good) 16 days ago. Fine third in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle on penultimate start and a reproduction of that would put him firmly in the picture.

Form: 125032

La Pulga⁵^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: C Johnston| OR: 85| D

5/1

7/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 5 days ago. Stamina won't be an issue and he's a key player under a penalty (future mark will be 2 lb higher than the one he competes off here).

Form: 2-50731

(1)

Great Bedwyn¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 89

9/1

Latest win at York in May. 6/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good) 19 days ago. Just 2 lb above his winning York mark and he will be a danger to all if on-song.

Form: 92-1895

(2)

Alrazeen^p1³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 87| C

40/1

Course winner. Five wins from 16 Flat runs. Nineteenth of 20 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 50/1) 33 days ago, possibly amiss. Now tried in cheekpieces and needs to bounce back in a major way.

Form: 11-1670

(11)

Londonofficecallin^t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 85| D

10/3

Career best when winning 6-runner minor event at Fairyhouse (14f, good, 9/4) 22 days ago. This mark is no gift back in handicap company, but his record on the Flat is now 5-11 and he will be a big threat if taking to this surface.

Form: 14/011-1

(4)

Dancingwithmyself¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: T E Whelan| T: M L W Bell| OR: 84

7/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in June. 5/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Newbury (13.3f, good to firm) 13 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut (fully effective on polytrack) and she won't be without a chance if taking to this surface.

Form: 6-22715

(7)

Diamond Bay^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: T Ward| OR: 81| CD

28/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Goodwood in May. 16/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Ascot (14.2f, firm) 19 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 83-1708

(8)

Gallant Lion^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Ian Williams| OR: 73

14/1

Latest win at Chepstow in May. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 7/1) 22 days ago. Headgear retained and it's not at all hard to envisage this 5-y-o playing a part in the finish.

Form: 880173

(9)

Kitsune Power^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Joanna Mason| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| D

22/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. 9/4, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good to soft) 13 days ago. On a good mark and will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 208243

(3)

Chutzpal^b³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 70| D

11/2

10/1, good third of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, good) 34 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and a bold show could be on the way, provided he proves effective on this surface (has won on polytrack).

Form: 0/41-773

(5)

Further Measure^p¹⁰⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-6| J: L Morris| T: M Murphy| OR: 70| CD

50/1

C&D winner. 5 wins from 8 runs this year, the latest at Southwell in March. Tenth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) when last seen in April and the percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 111130

(10)

Emaculate Soldier^b⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: Laura Coughlan⁽³⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 68| CD

50/1

16/1, improved on recent efforts when comfortably taking an 8-runner handicap at this course (12.2f) 51 days ago. Switched yards since and more on his plate now bidding for the hat-trick, up 5 lb in this stronger race.

Form: 876411

Forecasts

Charging Thunder (10/3), Londonofficecallin (10/3), La Pulga (5/1), Chutzpal (11/2), Dancingwithmyself (7/1), Great Bedwyn (9/1), Gallant Lion (14/1), Kitsune Power (22/1), Diamond Bay (28/1), Alrazeen (40/1), Further Measure (50/1), Emaculate Soldier (50/1)

LONDONOFFICECALLIN took another step forward when landing a Fairyhouse minor event in good style last time and, with the promise of even better to come from the 8-y-o in this sphere, he could be the answer if proving equally effective on the all-weather. Fellow Irish raider Chutzpal is next on the list, while La Pulga has to be feared on the back of his recent Newcastle success. Charging Thunder and Great Bedwyn also have claims in a competitive handicap.
