Bassadanza³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S D Bowen| T: C Johnston| OR: 75| C

14/1

Course winner at 2. Comfortably held in 3 handicap starts on return this summer but the last 2 were at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood and no surprise were she to make an impact in this much lower grade.

Form: 116-700

Kodi Fire¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C Hills| OR: 74

10/3

On a 4-timer after 3 turf wins at up to 1m. Stamina to prove over this longer distance but his mark still looks workable and Oisin Murphy is riding.

Form: 5-56111

(7)

Mythical Bird⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: H Morrison| OR: 74

3/1

Fair form. Third of 5 in maiden at Chelmsford (1¼m) 75 days ago. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 632-283

(8)

Bintalina³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| OR: 74

5/2

Runner-up twice in turf maidens at up to 1¼m but an underwhelming start to her handicap career at Sandown at the end of July. Early days but a bounce back is needed.

Form: 6227

(3)

Arbitration¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 73

9/2

Fair maiden. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Thirsk (7f, good) 18 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Likely to be on the premises.

Form: 446635

(4)

Tetsworth³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 71

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 on handicap debut at Redcar (1¼m, good to firm, 10/1) 34 days ago. fading in the closing stages having forced the pace. This slightly sharper test may suit him.

Form: 3377

(6)

Alfie D³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Davies| T: J Tate| OR: 69

28/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 12/1, eighth of 9 in novice at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) 33 days ago. Makes handicap debut from a mark which demands improvement.

Form: 638

(5)

Implied Volatility³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Wood| T: J Candlish| OR: 66

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 32 days ago but there is stamina in his pedigree so this significantly longer trip may see him in a better light.

Form: 70500

Forecasts

Bintalina (5/2), Mythical Bird (3/1), Kodi Fire (10/3), Arbitration (9/2), Bassadanza (14/1), Implied Volatility (20/1), Tetsworth (22/1), Alfie D (28/1)

KODI FIRE is taken to defy the handicapper again and make it 4 in a row. Arbitration has proved expensive to follow in handicaps but has been largely consistent and might be the one to give the selection most to think about ahead of Tetsworth, who shaped a bit better than his seventh position suggests on his Redcar handicap debut.
