Big Bard^p²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Paddy Bradley| T: G & J Moore| OR: 64| D

4/1

Won 8-runner handicap (11/1) on the AW course here (6f) 27 days ago, always holding on. 9 lb higher back on turf but that needn't debar another big run from this 6-y-o.

Form: 737-361

(2)

Arlecchino's Gift²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: George Rooke| T: M D I Usher| OR: 62| CD

16/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in July. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good, 17/2) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive from a win point of view.

Lahina Bay¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 61| D

10/3

Latest win at Windsor in July. Good third of 15 in handicap at the same course (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 14 days ago. Should have a part to play, particularly if the ground is good or faster. Yard also saddles Roman Spring.

Form: 4-74213

Watermelon Sugar²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 61| D

16/1

Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Fourth of 5 in handicap (8/1) at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago. 2 lb lower than for his success on the AW here in April and he's a leading contender.

Form: 63-7174

(13)

Kento^b1⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Tom Clover| OR: 62

17/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 53 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and he needs to get back on track.

Form: 323648

(7)

Morning Suit⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Tyler Heard| T: P S McEntee| OR: 62| D

33/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D (firm) 9 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 3-34077

(5)

Match Anthem²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck| OR: 57

22/1

18/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 20 days ago. Would have a chance if back to his best and eased 3 lb since latest start.

Form: 492569

(4)

Tilsworth Turf⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 52| D

50/1

Winner at Leicester in April. 40/1, pulled up in handicap at that course (6f, good) 86 days ago, shaping as though amiss. Percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 48781P

Moreginplease^b¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A J Farragher| T: J Ryan| OR: 56| CD

14/1

C&D winner. One win from 23 Flat runs. Winner here in May. Last of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good) 19 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 914320

Roman Spring^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 50

11/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 9/2, fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more persuasive on balance.

Form: 668584

(10)

Coast¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 49| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in June. 11/4, respectable fourth of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 13 days ago, doing too much too soon. Place possibilities.

Form: 813354

(9)

Muy Muy Guapo^b1³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 48

18/1

Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Fifth of 6 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 37 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and he needs to raise his game.

Form: 090255

(11)

Phoenix Moon²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D J Coakley| OR: 51

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 20 days ago, never nearer. Opposable.

Form: 9-7794

Forecasts

Lahina Bay (10/3), Coast (4/1), Big Bard (4/1), Kento (17/2), Phoenix Moon (11/1), Roman Spring (11/1), Moreginplease (14/1), Arlecchino's Gift (16/1), Watermelon Sugar (16/1), Muy Muy Guapo (18/1), Match Anthem (22/1), Morning Suit (33/1), Tilsworth Turf (50/1)

BIG BARD regained the winning thread on the all-weather here last month and, still feasibly treated off 9 lb higher and versatile ground-wise, he is taken to go in again. Next on the list is Watermelon Sugar, who is also on a workable mark, and Lahina Bay is also feared on the back of a series of solid efforts. Match Anthem is edging down the weights and may come good before long.
