Mr Lupton¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: G Mosse| T: R A Fahey| OR: 110| D

3/1

Gained his third win of a fine campaign latest when winning a 5f Newbury Group Three on soft ground. Equally as effective on faster surfaces too so no ground concerns and despite a penalty here he rates a leading player.

Form: 714971

Muthmir^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas| OR: 107| D

10/3

Triple Group Two winner has maintained his form pretty well this season and after winning a 5f Haydock Listed race in June he has made the frame in every race chasing home both Judicial and Mr Lupton along the way. Again expecting him to go well.

A Momentofmadness^h²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: C Hills| OR: 104| D

10/1

25/1 winner of a 21 runner 5½f Doncaster handicap latest was an excellent effort and his third win of the campaign. Bit to find at this level and last of eight behind Mr Lupton in July proof of that.

Just Glamorous⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 94| CD

33/1

Shock 33/1 winner of this race a year ago (good to soft). Not been in nearly as good form this season however and after a hat-trick of last place finishes he was beaten 11L into 14th of 17 latest at Haydock. Would be as big a shock as last year.

Form: 7-50070

Mythmaker³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: M Harley| T: B Smart| OR: 104

10/1

Eight-time winner is none from 10 in pattern races but has placed in six of them. Chased home veteran Take Cover latest in a Beverly Listed Race where he was ahead of Mr Lupton but that rival subsequently beat Take Cover at Newbury. Each-way chance.

Form: 823162

Spoof^h²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Hills| OR: 98| D

25/1

5f Chester handicap winner in May flopped next when perhaps something amiss. Decent fifth after a break in a York handicap but then struggled in a French Group Three. Unplaced in all four Listed/Group races and looks stable second string.

Form: 431057

Spring Loaded⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: A Kirby| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 107| CD

3/1

Popular 11-time winner has amassed over £200,000 in prize-money with several big handicap wins. Won a big C&D handicap in July before two more decent efforts in big handicaps since. Worth a second crack at pattern level and won't be far away.

Form: 06-9175

(11)

Intense Romance¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 96| CD

11/1

2017 C&D winner (good to soft) has won her last two races in heavy ground including a career best effort latest in a 5½f Ayr Listed race where she scored by a short head. Penalty for that and much faster ground likely here.

Form: 802211

(1)

Perfect Angel¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 95

28/1

Only won the once in 13 races and none from nine at pattern level. Chased home Intense Romance latest when sixth of 15 in an Ayr Listed race. Better off at the weights with that rival but bit to find overall.

Form: 90200-6

(5)

Under The Covers²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Liam Jones| T: R Harris| OR: 97| D

9/1

Five-time winner hasn't made the frame in four previous efforts at this level although latest close fourth in a Doncaster Listed race suggests she should do sooner or later. Each-way shout for a yard who had a shock winner of this last year.

Forecasts

Mr Lupton (3/1), Spring Loaded (3/1), Muthmir (10/3), Judicial (7/1), Under The Covers (9/1), Mythmaker (10/1), A Momentofmadness (10/1), Intense Romance (11/1), Fashion Queen (12/1), Spoof (25/1), Perfect Angel (28/1), Just Glamorous (33/1)

A chance is taken here on SPRING LOADED who has been one of the best sprint handicappers in training in recent years and his C&D win in July was most impressive and would stand him in good stead here, the fact he gets weight from some of his main rivals is a real plus. Mr Lupton will be very popular but it must be noted that none of his seven wins have been back to back so he isn't sure to follow up his fine effort last time by any means. Consistent Muthmir is well capable of going close and is better off with two rivals who've beaten him this season.
