Chase The Dollar¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁵⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 77| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Chester in May. Well held on each of last 4 starts and he's very difficult to fancy stepping significantly back up in trip.

Goblet Of Fire³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Henderson| OR: 76| C

5/4

Course winner. 3 wins from 4 runs this year. 10/11, didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap at Kempton (12f) 31 days ago, keeping on well. That race is working out well and he holds a good chance on form.

Form: 31-1131

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J S Moore| OR: 75| C

Roost^t,v¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Ray Dawson| T: R M Beckett| OR: 72

11/2

Visored for 1st time, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap (6/1) at Kempton (11f) 10 days ago. Back up in trip. Hold-up performer tends to need plenty to drop his way and others are preferred.

14/1

6/1, first run since leaving Andrew Balding when third of 4 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 29 days ago, needing stiffer test. Makes tapeta debut. Visor on 1st time. This test should suit better but others are preferred.

Form: 2-36453

Forecasts

Goblet Of Fire (5/4), Easy Dancer (7/2), Roost (11/2), Raintown (6/1), Laser Focus (11/1), Screaming Eagle (14/1), Chase The Dollar (33/1)

A good heat for the grade, with GOBLET OF FIRE fancied to score for the fourth time this season, having got the better of a next-time-out winner at Kempton last month. Laser Focus has proven reliable this season and was better than ever when scoring at Brighton last time, so should also be in the mix, whilst Raintown also displayed a likeable attitude when winning recently at Brighton and is hard to discount.
