5/2
Has thrived since joining Jack Jones, winning 3 of her 5 starts, including an 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 17 days ago with a bit in hand. Big shout from 4 lb higher mark.

10/1
Raced in bumpers initially and left Flat debut form behind when fourth of 13 in maiden at Leicester (8.2f, good to soft) last month. Soundly held both starts since, including on handicap bow last time, so others are preferred.

5/1
Front-runner notched her second win of the year at Brighton in June and ran at least as well in defeat when second in an 11-runner handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Claims again from unchanged mark.

7/2
Has scored 3 times this season, latterly when making a successful start for this yard at Brighton in July. Too free upped in trip when sixth of 8 in handicap at same course (11.9f, good) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive.

9/1
Runner-up in a selling event at Chelmsford City on his penultimate outing last season and ended year with a respectable third at Wolverhampton. Best watched on return from 9-month break.

4/1
Now over 2 years without a win but produced another creditable effort in defeat under this rider when third at Musselburgh 3 weeks ago. Drop in trip isn't a concern and he holds place claims with cheekpieces reapplied.

20/1
Never been the most reliable conveyance and he couldn't justify his prominent position in the market when last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) when last seen in May. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Beautiful Crown (5/2), Bletchley Storm (7/2), Pride Of Nepal (4/1), Shalfa (5/1), Sea Of Charm (7/1), Meadram (9/1), Twin Earth (10/1), Platinum Prince (20/1)

Verdict

BEAUTIFUL CROWN has been in a rich vein of form since joining the Jack Jones yard and can defy to top weight to notch his fourth win for his new trainer. Pride of Nepal shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop in trip and also merits respect, with Sea of Charm completing the shortlist.
