Whip Cracker^p⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: R Hughes| OR: 95

5/1

Ran well when second at Sandown and in most recent start. Finished second of 16 in handicap at Goodwood (17/2) 46 days ago, keeping on well after having to wait for gaps and just failing by a head. Looks capable of breaking handicap duck based on recent efforts.

Form: 409202

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 94

16/5

Has shown useful form in handicaps but finished tailed off in 13th of 14 at Epsom (7/2) 102 days ago when ridden aggressively in cheekpieces. Drops in trip with headgear removed today.

Fantastic Fox⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| OR: 92

25/1

Better on AW than turf as recent form shows. Ran poorly when last of 15 in handicap at Goodwood (40/1), never threatened after dwelling at start. May struggle again on this turf surface.

15/8

Won at Nottingham in June and placed in competitive handicaps since. Finished sixth of 17 in a handicap at York (13/2) 26 days ago, shaping better than the bare result when denied a run before keeping on well. Remains capable of a bigger performance when things go his way.

Form: 283054

Love Beach⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 86| BF

Forecasts

Sea Force (15/8), Valvano (16/5), Whip Cracker (5/1), Love Beach (5/1), Green Triangle (7/1), Mythical Guest (18/1), Fantastic Fox (25/1), Mr Baloo (40/1), Tamrat (50/1)

SEA FORCE shaped better than the bare result when denied a run at York and can deliver a bigger performance still. He's taken to win at the expense of Whip Cracker, who has been knocking on the door and only just failed by a head at Goodwood after picking his way through traffic. Valvano was ridden too aggressively last time so is worth another chance to build on his return.
