W: 10st 0lb

9 yo Gelding

OR: 74

Form & Verdict
Winless on turf since 2021 but showed more on his second run back from a break last time, is now 2lb lower and this is easier than the handicaps he's used to contesting; tends to be held up and a speed-favouring 5f in a small field may not be optimal but he's capable.

Mondammej

9st 3lb

J: Cam Hardie

T: Antony Brittain

Well handicapped on the pick of last year's AW form and he may have needed his comeback run at Thirsk in May; however, this 9yo was well beaten and is without a win on turf since September 2021; others are more compelling.

Mondammej

9st 3lb

J: Cam Hardie

T: Antony Brittain

Veteran with a mind of his own and refused to leave the parade ring on last intended start in November; however, perfectly capable of a big run off this mark and he's gone well fresh in the past.

Form & Verdict
York win last summer came off 15lb higher, which shows how things have gone in the meantime; can miss the break (including in first-time headgear latest; now removed) but this race is easier than he's used to; career-low mark.

Squealer

J: Rowan Scott

Has a poor strike-rate over the last three years and has proved inconsistent since last success (off 12lb higher); chance largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear.

Squealer

8st 11lb

J: Faye McManoman

T: Nigel Tinkler

Won off 10lb higher at York (5f, good) last June but disappointing since and has form figures of 690 this season; has a lot to prove and needs a major revival but stable is in good form and market strength would be interesting.

4/1

Form: -01374 D

W: 9st 7lb

3 yo Colt

OR: 71

Form & Verdict
Has not had much luck and continues to give the impression that this mark, which is just 2lb higher than when winning at Windsor in the spring, is within range; another who tends to be ridden from off the pace and he wouldn't want a messy affair.

Coyy

9st 6lb

J: Charles Bishop

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

A slow start did for him in the Epsom Dash last time and this is less competitive over a stiffer 5f; current mark should be within range if he gets away better and finds the race setting up for him.

Form: 8-32 BF

W: 9st 5lb

3 yo Filly

OR: 69

Form & Verdict
Inclined to pull hard in her two runs this term and is tried in a first-time hood as she takes a third successive drop in trip; last month's Newbury third, from the front, has been well advertised since and she was only just collared at Bath 12 days later; looks to start handicap life on a workable mark and holds good claims.

28-1 when a well-beaten eighth of 11 in a Newmarket fillies' maiden (7f, good) last October; better effort when third of six at Salisbury on her reappearance (6f, good to firm; well backed); just about sets the standard and she remains capable of better.

Form & Verdict
No problem with 7f last backend and he has been running over 6f this summer, latterly when making all at Doncaster early in the month; came away with a subsequent winner that day and finally getting off the mark should have helped confidence; a 4lb rise looks fair.

Betting Forcast

6/1 Mondammej, 7/1 Squealer, 5/1 Coyy, 7/4 Velvet Goldmine, 9/4 Come On Over

Verdict

Mondammej, Squealer and Coyy are often ridden from off the pace and a small field over a speed-favouring 5f doesn’t appeal as optimal for any of them. Come On Over’s 6f Doncaster win has been boosted (by the clear runner-up going in since) but he’s underachieved in a handful of runs over 5f and this can go to handicap newcomer VELVET GOLDMINE (nap), who is open to improvement in the first-time hood with another drop in trip.[Graham Wheldon]
