7/4

Mostly below par this season despite falling mark, only 7th of 10 in handicap at Epsom (13/2) 23 days ago. Often takes a strong hold which can compromise chances.

5/1

Has shown good turf form including when close third of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (9/1) 10 days ago, running well but denied by rivals with tactical advantage. Top-rated runner who should be a major player.

Form: 652653

Play Me¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Donagh Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 59

7/2

Fair maiden. Respectable third of 8 at Epsom Downs (6/1) 16 days ago, raced off the pace and did best work late after rearing at start.

Form: 048343

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: William Cox| T: J & S Best| OR: 52| D

Hush Puppy²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Sorin Moldoveanu⁽⁷⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 55

25/1

Modest maiden. Third at Newcastle in December but uncompetitive since, 7th of 8 at Epsom (33/1) 23 days ago.

Form: 53-6777

(4)

Twitch³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Craig Benton| OR: 49| D

13/2

Better on AW than turf but best effort for a while when third of 7 in handicap at this course and distance (14/1) 35 days ago, running on well after being short of room. Might build on that effort back at the same venue.

Form: 350073

Step Along¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Frederick Larson| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 54

15/2

Modest maiden. Creditable second of 4 here (5f) in May but below par both starts since. Step up in trip now.

Form: 7-93285

Forecasts

Tronido (7/4), Play Me (7/2), Mashaan (5/1), Twitch (13/2), Step Along (15/2), Comedian Leader (9/1), Hush Puppy (25/1)

MASHAAN ran well when third at Salisbury 10 days ago, denied only by rivals with tactical advantage. so makes the most appeal off a similar mark. Fellow-veteran Twitch too a step back in the right direction when third here 5 weeks ago and is next best ahead of Play Me, who has been running consistently in 7f handicaps, typically doing his best work late.
