Taritino²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Tickle| OR: 70| C| D

14/1

Showed mixed form with a poor run here before bouncing back when second of 10 in handicap at Newbury (16/1) 24 days ago. Stepping up in trip could suit based on latest effort.

Form: 660-852

Kotari^p³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 70| C

4/1

Has shown improvement in staying trips, including 4th in a 14f handicap at Goodwood in June with first-time cheekpieces. Third of 6 in 14f handicap at Yarmouth (11/4) 32 days ago, running one-paced after looming up, carrying head high late on. May benefit from stronger headgear and has winning form at this course.

Form: 0-90473

Ikigai Star^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Charles Bishop| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 69

28/1

9/2

Has two runner-up finishes in last four starts. Finished second of 8 in a handicap at Kempton Park (11f, AW) at 11/2 18 days ago, enjoying a better run of things than previous start. Running style suggests she could improve for this step up to 14f.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 55| BF| CD

11/2

Form: 343-243

Forecasts

Sawgrass (9/4), Kotari (4/1), Solar Pass (9/2), Grey Owl (11/2), Navalanche (9/1), As Fast As Wind (14/1), Taritino (14/1), Balgowan (18/1), Wilderness (25/1), Ikigai Star (28/1), The Dark Baron (50/1), Sweet Nightingale (50/1), Praying For Time (125/1)

SOLAR PASS is fancied to improve for this step up to 14f, having shown consistently good form with a solid second at Kempton recently. Sawgrass won impressively over this trip earlier in the season and appears well suited to these conditions. Grey Owl, last year's winner, returns to a course and distance he clearly likes.
