1st (5)  (0.91/1 +17%)Brazen Diamond |
0.91/1(+17%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Brazen Diamond 0.91/1, Brazen Beau filly who showed promise in maidens and duly took a sizeable step forward to make a winning handicap debut here (7f) 8 days ago. Escapes a penalty for that and she should prove tough to beat dropped back to sprinting. | |||
2nd (4)  (6.5/1 +0%)Viewfromthestars |
6.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Viewfromthestars 6.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, shaped well without being seen to best effect when third of 8 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 13 days ago, headway when short of room over 1f out. Likely he can do better still. | |||
3rd (1)  (7.5/1 -50%)Bondi Girl |
7.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bondi Girl 7.5/1, Confirmed previous promise to belatedly get off the mark at Leicester (6f) in July, edging right last ½f but always holding on. Never saw things out so well back at that venue over 7f 9 days ago and return to this trip rates a plus. | |||
4th (3)  (4.5/1 +31%)Manettino |
4.5/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Manettino 4.5/1, 10/1 and blinkered for 1st time, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 13 days ago, weakening final 1f. Now operating from career-low mark and he's still low-mileage on all weather. | |||
5th (6)  (40/1 -100%)Huntsman's Moon |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Huntsman's Moon 40/1, Last of 6 in handicap (17/2) at Brighton (1m) 12 days ago, headed under 2f out and dropping away. Drops back in trip now but others arrive with much more pressing claims. | |||
6th (2)  (7.5/1 -36%)Imperial Khan |
7.5/1(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Imperial Khan 7.5/1, Creditable third of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Chelmsford (5f) 7 days ago, no extra final 100 yds having been pestered early. Step up in trip needs to bring about some improvement. |

2.5/1(+62%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Big Time Maybe 2.5/1, Course winner. 12/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 17 days ago, nearest finish. First run for yard after leaving Michael Attwater. Can make presence felt. | |||
2nd (13)  (14/1 +13%)Slate Cracker |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Slate Cracker 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 7 in handicap (25/1) at Pontefract (5f, good) 42 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkers need to have a positive effect now. | |||
3rd (3)  (22/1 -22%)Dodgy Bob |
22/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dodgy Bob 22/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2020. Good third of 12 in minor event at this course (7.2f, 80/1) 8 days ago. No sure thing to be in same form here, though. | |||
4th (6)  (9/1 -6%)Hard Solution |
9/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hard Solution 9/1, Course winner. 11/4, bit below form 3 lengths sixth of 12 to Aconcagua Mountain in minor event at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Back up in trip. | |||
5th (9)  (20/1 +50%)Storm Master |
20/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Storm Master 20/1, Unreliable individual. Ninth of 12 in handicap (80/1) at Newcastle (6f) 13 days ago, headed over 1f out and finishing pretty tamely. Others preferred. | |||
6th (11)  (14/1 -17%)Bankrupt |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Bankrupt 14/1, 33/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago, racing in rear and never involved. Needs a couple of these to falter. | |||
7th (10)  (2.75/1 +69%)Tom Tulliver |
2.75/1(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Tom Tulliver 2.75/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. 12/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at this C&D 4 days ago. Each-way claims with a repeat. | |||
8th (4)  (8.5/1 +53%)Edessann |
8.5/1(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Edessann 8.5/1, One win from 33 Flat runs. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good, 50/1) 71 days ago, slowly away. Return to AW may help now. | |||
9th (12)  (12/1 +57%)Sir Duke |
12/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Sir Duke 12/1, Out of sorts lately and he again made little impression when fifth of 8 in a C&D handicap 4 days ago. Others preferred. | |||
10th (8)  (10/1 -11%)San Juan |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) San Juan 10/1, Better effort when third at Lingfield (5f) in April but not in same form when eighth of 12 in handicap back at that venue in May. Subsequent break may well have positive effect on him here. | |||
11th (7)  (50/1 +24%)Miss Trixie |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Miss Trixie 50/1, Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 40/1) 17 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Has work to do. |

1st (4)  (1.25/1 +58%)Special Forces |
1.25/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Special Forces 1.25/1, Holy Roman Emperor colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Asaas. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 6f winner Invincible Spirit out of Prix de Diane winner Rafha. Yard can ready a newcomer and he's of interest on debut. | |||
2nd (2)  (11/1 +8%)Double Time |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Double Time 11/1, Twice-raced maiden. 33/1, fourth of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford (7f) in May, fading final 1f. Given a break subsequently but he's another who may do better once sent handicapping. | |||
3rd (6)  (20/1 -43%)Salve Japan |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Salve Japan 20/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in minor event (11/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, good) on debut 19 days ago, going in snatches and not landing a blow. Needs to step up plenty on that to feature. | |||
4th (10)  (5/1 -82%)Proud Fairy |
5/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Proud Fairy 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good second of 8 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW, 12/1) 17 days ago, just failing. Rates a likely player with a repeat here. | |||
5th (8)  (5/1 +72%)Escape Free |
5/1(+72%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Escape Free 5/1, Free Eagle filly. Dam 1½m winner. Feasible to think she will be one for later on/tackling longer trips. | |||
6th (1)  (25/1 -14%)Ace Of Harts |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ace Of Harts 25/1, Toronado gelding who showed promise when fourth on debut in a Haydock maiden (7f) in July. Shaped better than distance beaten suggests encountering heavy ground when last of 7 at Ffos Las subsequently but he may be one for handicaps moving forward. | |||
7th (5)  (40/1 -122%)Jack Sparowe |
40/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jack Sparowe 40/1, £7,000 yearling, Zoffany gelding. Dam, winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7.3f winner), half-sister to useful 1m winner (stays 1¼m) Laelaps. Wears hood. Another requiring a precautionary market check on debut. | |||
8th (9)  (25/1 -56%)Monelisa |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Monelisa 25/1, 6,000 gns yearling, Havana Gold filly. Half-sister to 6f-1m winner Seraphim and 2-y-o 1m winner Lafontaine. Dam, 7f winner, closely related to useful winning sprinter Danehill Destiny. | |||
9th (7)  (18/1 +18%)Cabaire |
18/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Cabaire 18/1, Heeraat filly. Half-sister to winner up to 7.4f Proud Archi and 7f winner George Morland. Dam, 7f-8.6f winner, half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Nahrain. Betting should guide on debut. | |||
10th (3)  (7.5/1 -125%)Hezmie |
7.5/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hezmie 7.5/1, Divine Prophet filly who belied odds of 50/1 to make a winning debut in an 11-runner Newcastle novice (1m) in February, stayed on to lead final 100 yds. Absent since but she may well have more to offer. Not discounted. |

2nd (2)  (3.5/1 +13%)Rozalia |
3.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rozalia 3.5/1, Very lightly raced for a 5-y-o but has improved this term, scoring at Lingfield and Goodwood. Not disgraced when fourth rom this mark at Chester (15.9f) in July but ran well below best when filling same spot at Newmarket 3 days ago. Back in trip now. | |||

0.4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) El Habeeb 0.4/1, Ran to a useful level on just his second start when tenth behind Desert Crown in the Derby at Epsom in June. Clear with another promising 3-y-o on yard debut in a Chester maiden (12.3f) 31 days ago and he's very much the one to beat here. | |||

16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dark Island 16/1, Showed a bit amidst inexperience when fifth on debut at Newcastle (7f) in March and similar form when sixth of 9 in a stronger event at Newmarket (10f) in April. Gelded subsequently and handicaps may be more his bag in due course. | |||
