Annsar²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Davies| T: Jack Jones| OR: 78| D

18/1

Won twice on AW at Lingfield but yet to prove as good on turf, sixth of 7 in handicap at Leicester (4/1) 23 days ago when hampered at start. Mark has eased a little more ahead of this but others appeal more for win purposes.

Form: 3-11086

High On Hope⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 78

9/4

Has shown consistent form at 7f with two second places in May and June. Finished fourth of 8 in 6f handicap at Windsor (11/2) 48 days ago, running creditably after dwelling at the start. Has since joined a yard boasting a fine record with new recruits and interesting if market spoke in his favour.

Mystical Storm²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 77

10/3

Won a 6f novice at Doncaster (5/6) after placing twice in novice races. Fourth of 16 in 7f handicap at York (13/2) 20 days ago, faring best of those with a single-figure draw and briefly leading late on. Remains low mileage and he's very much one to consider from a handy draw.

Form: 33-3014

Far Ahead³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| D

25/1

Gelded/off 9 months before taking a step forward to land 10-runner novice at Catterick (7f, good to firm) in May. However, ran poorly both starts since, latterly when 10th of 11 in handicap at York (25/1) 35 days ago, always behind. Has plenty to prove at present.

Form: 43-190

Panelli^p1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: G Boughey| OR: 75

4/1

Showed improved form when second of 8 on handicap debut at Leicester (7f) on penultimate start but disappointed when ninth of 13 in 8f handicap at Yarmouth (11/1) 22 days ago, softer ground a possible excuse. Not one to write off with first-time cheekpieces now applied.

Form: 8-2629

(2)

Arbitration²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 74| BF

8/1

Fairly useful maiden who returned to form when third of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (2/1) 24 days ago, his best work coming late despite taking strong hold. Represents leading yard and he's well worth a second look from handy inside draw.

Form: 5-44663

Anthropologist^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 74| D

14/1

Doubled his tally at Ayr in June and has largely run with credit since, not beaten far when fifth of 9 in 7f handicap at Doncaster (7/1) 13 days ago. Solid each-way claims again.

Form: 123245

Fire Flame^h1⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R Varian| OR: 72| BF

10/1

Lightly-raced gelding who was eighth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (7/2) 41 days ago, beaten 10½ lengths and going backwards from reappearance. First-time hood now goes on but work to do from this sort of mark.

Form: 530-68

(9)

Jamaican Storm³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Smart| OR: 71

16/1

Best efforts to date have come on all-weather and he produced a laboured effort when 8th of 11 in handicap at York (18/1) 35 days ago, slowly into stride and never involved. Others appeal more.

Form: 72-3068

Forecasts

High On Hope (9/4), Mystical Storm (10/3), Panelli (4/1), Empire Power (5/1), Arbitration (8/1), Fire Flame (10/1), Anthropologist (14/1), Jamaican Storm (16/1), Annsar (18/1), Far Ahead (25/1)

MYSTICAL STORM impressed at York last time, faring best of those with a single-figure draw and briefly leading late on. This unexposed colt remains open to further improvement in handicaps and is selected to land this 7f contest. Panelli disappointed last time but the cheekpieces/return to a sounder surface can see him bounce back, while Arbitration returned to form when third at Musselburgh, doing his best work late. High on Hope is another to note starting out for a new yard.
