Bunker Bay^t¹¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 62

28/1

Ran as if amiss when tailed off here in May and off since. A watching brief is advised.

Form: 749/436

Moonlit Cloud^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: D K Ivory| OR: 62

16/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 28/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) 26 days ago. Up in trip. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 0-92503

Mr Nugget⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: D M Simcock| OR: 60

10/3

Winner at Southwell (11f) in February. Latest fourth of 7 at Chelmsford (1¼m) only respectable but he shaped quite well when third over this trip at Lingfield prior to that. Had wind surgery ahead of this and he's a player having dropped to his winning mark.

Berkshire Phantom²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Fionn McSharry| OR: 59| C

11/4

Course winner who added to his tally over 9f at Redcar in July. Not seen to best effect (met trouble) when sixth of 7 at Musselburgh (9f) 25 days ago and likely still in form. His stamina isn't assured over this significantly longer trip, though.

Form: 583146

Boasty^b1²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: S Donohoe| T: I Furtado| OR: 57| C

20/1

Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2024 but was placed twice here in April and might have needed his latest Chelmsford outing after 4 months off. First-time blinkers replace regular visor.

Form: 536230

This Time Maybe²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: George Bass| T: M D I Usher| OR: 56| CD

3/1

C&D winner in April. Went close again here in June before resuming winning ways at Lingfield (1½m, AW) 29 days ago, always holding on. A further 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing from him.

Form: 246421

(7)

Rubellite³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 55| C| D

5/1

Notched 4 AW wins for Stella Barclay between January and March. Off 4 months, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell for new yard 36 days ago. May come on for that run.

Form: 311336

(5)

Abu Royal^p³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: T E Whelan| T: L Morgan| OR: 55

28/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm, 50/1) 35 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 4570-00

(3)

Flying Panther³⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: George Wood| T: J Candlish| OR: 52| C

33/1

Ended his time with James Owen with a 9.5f course win last September. Well held at Southwell 5 weeks later (only run for Micky Hammond) and not seen since. The betting is probably the best guide to expectations.

Rose Light²³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Gina Mangan| T: A Forbes| OR: 48

16/1

One win from 30 starts. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Leicester (1¼m, firm) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Others are preferred again.

Form: 75-3947

Forecasts

Berkshire Phantom (11/4), This Time Maybe (3/1), Mr Nugget (10/3), Rubellite (5/1), Moonlit Cloud (16/1), Rose Light (16/1), Boasty (20/1), Bunker Bay (28/1), Abu Royal (28/1), Flying Panther (33/1)

MR NUGGET has returned to the mark he defied at Southwell in February and gets the nod with David Simcock among the winners. This Time Maybe has a win and close second to show for his last 2 outings over C&D and rates an obvious danger. Rubellite is another who has tasted success here and might have needed his first outing for Richard Fahey after a break.
