Selected odds by:

(9)

Sovereign Sea²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 95

5/1

Winner on only start at 3 yrs and he comes here having finished runner-up on 5 of his 7 starts this term, latest in 9-runner handicap at Doncaster (10.2f) 24 days ago. Likely he'll be in the thick of things again.

Form: 222062

(6)

Feigning Madness⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 95

12/1

Two from 2 as a juvenile and lightly raced since, running respectably when eighth of 14 in handicap at Goodwood (14f, good, 12/1) 66 days ago. Ease in class in his favour from a steadily easing mark but others appeal more for win purposes.

Form: 54-4408

(5)

Chillingham^v¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: D Tudhope| T: E Bethell| OR: 91| D

9/1

Latest win at York in June. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Pontefract (10f, soft) 12 days ago, staying on gradually. Return to this longer trip in his favour and he's another worthy of consideration.

Form: 016764

(1)

Oviedo⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 91

150/1

Off 11 months/first run since leaving Edward Bethell when last of 16 in handicap at Goodwood (9f, good, 100/1) 66 days ago, losing place soon after 3f out. Significantly up in trip but he's best watched at present.

Form: 4/6000-0

(4)

Hopewell Rock²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 97

2/1

New Bay colt who impressed when winning both starts at 2 yrs. Shaped up well both outings upon returning, finishing second of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good, 3/1) 26 days ago. Highly likely there's further progress in the offing and he's shortlisted.

Form: 11-32

(2)

Spinning Wheel¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 95| BF

14/1

Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Yarmouth in May. 2/1, good second of 6 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to soft) 19 days ago, plugging on final 1f. Will likely need to pull out more if he's to defy this mark.

Form: 1102

(7)

Who's Glen³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding| OR: 88

40/1

Showed useful form when 2nd at Kempton (16f) in March but not kicked on since, the fitting of a visor (discarded here) providing no upturn when last of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, heavy, 10/1) 35 days ago. Has it to prove down in trip.

Form: 5-25086

(10)

Our 'Enery^p²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding| OR: 90| D

100/1

Fairly useful gelding who presumably wasn't at home under the conditions when last of 4 in conditions stakes (16/1) at Salisbury (14.2f, soft) 25 days ago. Switch to handicaps rates more suitable now eased back down in trip.

Form: 5-1444

(3)

Warrant Holder¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 90

13/8

Promising type who made it second time lucky at Newcastle (10.2f) in March. Nothing wrong with his reappearance second of 9 in novice at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 17 days ago and highly likely there's more to come from this well-bred sort now handicapping.

Form: 212

Forest Gate¹⁷

Weight: 9-5| Age: 4

T: Eve Johnson Houghton J: Charles Bishop

Forecasts

Warrant Holder (13/8), Hopewell Rock (2/1), Sovereign Sea (5/1), Forest Gate (8/1), Chillingham (9/1), Feigning Madness (12/1), Spinning Wheel (14/1), Who's Glen (40/1), Our 'Enery (100/1), Oviedo (150/1)

A handicap containing a good deal of depth and it may pay to side with one of the 3-y-o's in the shape of WARRANT HOLDER. He had the subsequent St Leger runner-up behind him when successful at Newcastle in March and shaped perfectly well back from 6 months off when runner-up at Newmarket 17 days ago. Open to further improvement, he's selected over the fellow promising Hopewell Rock. Sovereign Sea and Forest Gate also enter the reckoning, with Chillingham also respected of the older brigade.
