J: Jude Fernandes

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Can miss the break and is usually ridden from off the pace; back-to-back wins over the extended 5f at Brighton this summer, the latter by a wide margin under Jude Fernandes this month; below-form third turned out under a penalty at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) four days later and another 4lb higher now.

Can miss the break and is usually ridden from off the pace; won a Brighton handicap (5.3f) by a wide margin on Tuesday for Jude Fernandes; that made it three wins from his last four starts and he is a leading player under his penalty.

Came from the back of the field to win here (6f, good) last July and she's been a good third on her last two starts (6f, good/good to firm); kept on well at Newbury last time and now has a belated second crack at 7f, which is well worth a go; she's one to consider.

Bettered disappointing seasonal debut when third of five at Nottingham (6f, good) last month and is now 1lb lower than when winning from off the pace at Haydock (6f, good) last summer; no surprise if she features.

Seemed to benefit from combination of drop back in trip and new cheekpieces when scoring at Goodwood (6f, soft) last month; recent 5lb rise asks quite a lot of her but this return to Polytrack won't be a problem.

Has a patchy profile but he won at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in May and was runner-up over this trip at Thirsk (good) 13 days ago; back up 2lb in the weights but he was clear of the third last time and has claims if he can back that up.

Very disappointing at Ascot (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago which needs forgiving, but his Chepstow success (7f, good to firm) in May was the only occasion he has dropped into Class 6 company in more than two years; worth a second look.

All three wins came over 7f at Kempton AW in 2024 when trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy; has had no success with Edward Smyth-Osbourne since and makes stable debut for shrewd yard off a career-low mark; market will be best guide.

Successful handicap debut at Southwell (6f AW) in April and has performed generally okay in the meantime without looking ahead of his mark; however, has to be feared in a race with no depth.

All five wins have been for previous trainers over 6f/7f; his two runs over 1m have not proved his stamina for the distance, but this does represent a class drop so all is not lost.
