Selected odds by:
Multiple winner on the AW and improved when opening turf account at Doncaster in June. By no means disgraced when sixth in a big-field York handicap (6f, good) the following month and each-way claims on that evidence, albeit ground softer than good would pose a question.
|
Pretty consistent on the whole and returned to form with back-to-back 6f handicaps wins at Newbury and Yarmouth during the summer. Hasn't done much wrong in defeat last 3 starts and this filly is a versatile ground-wise. Solid claims.
|
Clear-cut winner at Chepstow in July and bounced back from a couple of below-par performances when making all in a 6-runner Epsom handicap (6f, good to firm) last time. However, combination off this 5 lb higher mark and forecast slower ground could scupper his chance here.
|
Won 3 on the bounce at Windsor within the space of a week in June and registered first turf success away from that venue when coming from off the pace to strike at Sandown (5f, soft) recently. 5 lb rise fair enough and merits respect for yard that also saddles Serenity Dream.
|
Has more than paid her way this season, winning 5 times already and went down fighting when finding just one too good in a 7-runner affair at Salisbury (6f, soft) last time. Clearly effective on slow ground and she looks set to deliver another big run.
|
Opened account for this yard when bagging a C&D handicap (good to firm) on penultimate start. Has acquitted himself well at Lingfield and Windsor either side of that and remains on a workable mark, so there is certainly cause for optimism where this 4-y-o is concerned.
|
Signed off truncated 2-y-o campaign on a winning note in a Lingfield nursery largely respectable efforts this season prior to a poor display with a first-time tongue strap enlisted at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month. That headgear is discarded here, but he looks vulnerable in any case.
|
Yet to get his head in front, but it's still early days given that he's had just half-a-dozen starts and he hasn't done much wrong, save for what was seemingly a blip at Chepstow in July. Good efforts over this C&D the last twice and should go well.
|
Successful twice in 6f Windsor handicaps this season and almost certainly would've finished closer granted more daylight over the same C&D earlier this month (endured traffic problems throughout the final 2f of the race). High on the shortlist off the same mark here.
|
Runner-up over C&D on handicap debut in June and has made the frame on each of her 3 subsequent starts, most recently coming home 2¾ lengths third of 6 to Em Four at Epsom. May well reverse those placings now meeting that rival on 6 lb better terms and she's a live each-way candidate.
|
Largely struggled since scoring at Lingfield at the end of May and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Forecasts
Serenity Dream (4/1), Rory Rocket (4/1), Tiger Tulip (11/2), Noble Consort (15/2), Silver Wraith (15/2), Forever My Prince (10/1), Thunderous Love (11/1), Monsieur Patat (14/1), Land Of Magic (14/1), Em Four (18/1), Lequinto (25/1)
MONSIEUR PATAT was caught in a metaphorical cul-de-sac throughout the closing stages of the 6f Windsor handicap he contested 16 days ago and, granted better luck this time, the 8-y-o may well emerge on top. A first career success is surely not far away for Rory Rocket and he is feared most ahead of Thunderous Love and Tiger Tulip, while Silver Wraith also needs a mention in this competitive race.
- Monsieur Patat14/1
- Rory Rocket4/1
- Thunderous Love11/1
