10/1 |
Thapa VC
Hold-up performer; good strike-rate on AW and he comes here on the back of a series of fine runs on turf; deep-closing style not always conducive to this track but a good pace looks assured and he's high on the list.

Kit Gabriel
All runs for current yard have been at 6f, winning at Wolverhampton one year ago off 1lb higher; hasn't landed a blow in two Class 4 handicaps this summer, but he's back up in trip and down in class so a revival isn't out of the question.

- Liam Wright / Darryll Holland

8/1 |
Dutch Kingdom
Prominent racer; won decisively at Lingfield in July (1m, AW); creditable efforts twice since and he's likely to give it another good go.

Letmelivemylife
Three of his five wins have come over C&D and he's dropped to a lowly mark; last month's return from a break should have blown away the cobwebs and he's not discounted.

- All Agleam
- David Probert / A M Balding

17/2 |
All Agleam
Prominent racer; in good order this season, winning at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) before a close fourth at Newmarket four weeks ago; drawn widest and there is other pace to contend with in this field.

- Sir Oliver
- Lewis Edmunds / C A Dwyer

|
14/1 |
Sir Oliver
Should be competitive off this mark and he didn't run badly at Newcastle last week; on the downside, he's another that likes to be on the sharp end and he's drawn wide to boot.

- The Waiting Game
- George Rooke / Jack Jones
|
|

|
16/1 |
The Waiting Game
Won five on the spin last season, four of them here (all 6f); running creditably in defeat this year but she needs the step back up in trip to have a positive effect if she's to win.

- Laguna Boy
- Marco Ghiani / S C Williams

|
9/2 |
Laguna Boy
Stepped up on his novice form when making most of the running in a C&D handicap three weeks ago; 3lb rise unlikely to prove beyond him in time but it won't be easy dominating in this more competitive race.
|
|
|
|
- Sovereign Knight
- Frederick Larson / Miss A Murphy
|
|
85
|
17/2 |
Sovereign Knight
Front-runner; two 6f wins to his name, the latest here off 6lb lower last month; solid effort when second at Yarmouth last month; on the up but the extra furlong in a race full of pace looks a worry.
|
|
|
|
- Sustained
- Hector Crouch / D & C Kubler
|
|
79
|
10/1 |
Sustained
Made a winning debut at Wolverhampton in June (7f); similar form in his two handicap runs, more recently when a close third of eight at Kempton two weeks ago; needs extra to take this.
|

|
|
- Jackson Street
- S D Bowen / Dylan Cunha
|
|
89
|
9/2 |
Jackson Street
Ten-race maiden but he's been threatening, including over C&D, and last week's Newcastle second was a career-best; should get a good pace to aim at and he's high on the list with his rider's claim a bonus.
|

|
- Roman Emperor
- Christian Howarth / J Ryan
|
|
84
|
25/1 |
Roman Emperor
Competitive in good company on AW earlier in the year; three heavy defeats on turf this summer don't instil much confidence but he's been dropped 8lb and it's possible he'll prove a better horse on this surface; could go well.
|
|
|

- Master Dandy
- Jack Doughty / J R Fanshawe
|
|
88
|
7/1 |
Master Dandy
Gained his first handicap win when produced late to land a 6f event at Lingfield last week; unpenalised for that apprentice race win (3lb well in); has stamina to prove but he has to be high on the list.
