11/2

Successful on all-weather first 3 starts this year and got back on track when making most in 6-runner handicap at Sandown (14f, good, 18/1) 44 days ago. From a good staying family so there could be better still to come.

14/1

Made third start a winning one Salisbury (12f) in June. Unable to build on that in pair of runs since, going in snatches when last of 6 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 5/2) 30 days ago. Application of cheekpieces could help now.

Minhad^b1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: I Mohammed| OR: 80

10/1

Winner at Newmarket in May. Visored for 1st time, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 15 days ago, the drop back in distance looking against him. Blinkers now the headgear of choice over this longer trip and good showing not ruled out.

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden who settled better under a change of tactics and duly showed improved form when second of 4 in handicap at Salisbury (12f, good, 11/4) 48 days ago. Appeals as being on a handy mark and he's worth considering.

Form: 7-2202

Navid^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 71| BF| D

4/1

Relished the step up in trip when opening his account at Salisbury (14.2f) in July and similar form for all he couldn't justify cramped odds when second of 4 in handicap at Ffos Las (2m) 21 days ago, clear of rest. Ought to be thereabouts again back at 14f.

Gentle Warrior^v⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke| OR: 70| D

6/5

Model of consistency since the visor went on and step in trip proved catalyst for an improved showing when winning 11-runner handicap (2/1) at Haydock (14f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Escapes a penalty for that success and he's firmly of interest with potential for better still at this trip.

Forecasts

Gentle Warrior (6/5), Navid (4/1), Scarlet Moon (11/2), John T (6/1), Minhad (10/1), Triple Gee (14/1), Schemaya (14/1)

GENTLE WARRIOR escapes a penalty for last week's comfortable Haydock victory and, still unexposed granted this sort of test, he looks to hold solid claims in his bid to quickly follow-up. John T, Navid and Scarlet Moon can provide chief resistance to Karl Burke's charge, in that order.
