18:00 – Nonsuch Lad

Night Eagle (second choice) travelled much the strongest on his way to a 1m4f win last Thursday, so this drop back in trip is less of a concern than his move away from Epsom under a 5lb penalty. Preference is for NONSUCH LAD who has a first and third from his only two runs at Sandown and has not been far away on his last three outings. Come On John would have a good shout if his latest start could be forgiven.

18:35 – Tallulabelle

The clear pick of the fillies with experience is TALLULABELLE, who ran well in the Hilary Needler before facing a stiffer assignment in the Queen Mary. Interesting newcomers Miaharris (second choice) and Toosha are feared most, especially if the market signals back up their positive credentials.

19:10 – Overnight Oats (NAP)

It took him a while to get off the mark but OVERNIGHT OATS (NAP) coming up the hill to score at Carlisle last time suggests that he may also stay on to best effect today. The unexposed Goodwood Vision was second favourite when he made his reappearance four weeks ago, which he failed to live up to but he is feared most ahead of recent AW winner Ben Hamrash.

19:40 – Mudskipper

Another chance is given to MUDSKIPPER, who remains open to improvement in handicaps and could well realise that potential now gelded. Night Arc (second choice) and Two Tempting are solid contenders on current form, while Snapcracklepop has possibilities back down in grade and Distinguished Lady may improve for the new trip.

20:10 – Gallant Lion

Morcar won in sumptuous fashion on his handicap debut, a performance that is hard to quantify because he faced only two opponents. The Hannon horse could prove better than his revised mark but preference is for GALLANT LION who saw off more substantial opposition in 1m2f handicaps on his last two starts and made a serious advance on the second occasion, shaping as if still capable of better. Gozo may be best of the rest, having run in a hot race at the Newmarket July festival last time, but there are others to consider seriously.

20:40 – Lusaka

Something has clicked with LUSAKA who can defy the step up in class to complete his hat-trick, perhaps at the chief expense of Military Decoration then Alpine Stroll.
