7/2

Won efficiently in a flat handicap at Chester over 15.9f (11/2) 28 days ago, knuckling down well to beat 7 rivals. Fourth of 5 in a hurdle handicap at Newton Abbot (7/4) 18 days ago when dictating but finding no extra in the straight. Has solid credentials returning to the flat.

10/1

Has struggled for consistency this year but was a good second of 9 in AW handicap at Kempton over 16f (22/1) 21 days ago when staying on despite not getting clear run. Needs to back that up back on turf.

16/1

Runner-up in a 14f Goodwood handicap in May, staying on well and just failing by a nose. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Chester (33/1) 14 days ago, held up and failing to make an impression when out of depth. Will appreciate this drop back in class.

Merrijig^b¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: John Berry| OR: 65| CD

11/2

Won this race last year but has been running below form this season. Fourth of 12 in 15.9f handicap at Chester (8/1) 15 days ago, wearing first-time blinkers and showing promise when challenging 3f out. Well handicapped now and historically performs best in autumn.

Forecasts

Sawgrass (7/2), It's All About You (7/2), Merrijig (11/2), Zimmerman (6/1), The Crafty Mole (17/2), Marbuzet (17/2), Cock And Bull (10/1), Diamand De Vindecy (12/1), Sixpack (16/1), Camarrate (18/1)

MERRIJIG won this race last year and though below form this season, showed encouraging signs at Chester with blinkers. Historically best in autumn, he looks well-handicapped to defend his title. It's All About You won efficiently at Chester last month and has solid credentials returning to the flat. Sixpack, a close second at Goodwood in May, will appreciate this class drop.
