5th	1	13	Avatar Jet (G) FAV C&D winner in April and mostly in good nick since, possibly unsuited by conditions when fifth of 9 at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago. Wide draw tempers enthusiasm.	475567	Zak Wheatley D Carroll	5	61.2kg	4.50 7/2
6th	2	6	Volto Di Medusa (G) B Won 1m handicap at Lingfield in June and bounced back to form with blinkers back on in place of cheekpieces when second of 11 at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month. Each-way claims should the headgear b…	107265	Cieren Fallon Jack Jones	5	60.8kg	8.50 15/2
11th	3	11	Relevant Range (G) Free-going sort who won a pair of all-weather classified races over the winter (including over C&D). Narrowly landed first handicap success of the year at Doncaster (1m) last month but couldn't manag…	614095	Elle-May Croot I Furtado	7	60.3kg	17 16/1
1st	4	3	Rusheen Boy (G) T Doubled his account for the season when winning a match at Yarmouth in June. Struggled to get competitive on both subsequent outings and the handicapper looks in charge for now.	315514	S M Levey J & S Birkett	5	60.3kg	13 12/1
7th	5	1	Portman Blue (G) T Did about enough to suggest he stayed back up in trip when sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month. His consistency has yet to be rewarded with a frame finish in a handicap and oth…	666771	L Morris J Parr	4	60.3kg	12 11/1
8th	6	14	Izzari (G) Successful twice last year and having struggled for much of this season, stopped the slide from a tumbling mark when second of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) just under 3 weeks ago, imp…	928141	A Mullen I Jardine	5	60.3kg	6.50 11/2
13th	7	9	Peaceful Spirit (F) Returned from 6 months off to finish fourth in an ordinary C&D fillies maiden second time up last spring. Subsequently sold out of the Karl Burke yard for only 2,000 gns and probably needed the run a…	6/4-607	Alistair Rawlinson L A Mullaney	4	59.9kg	101 100/1
3rd	8	5	Aspull (G) H 7f winner on debut for Clive Cox but has struggled since switched to handicaps, beating only 2 rivals in 6 starts. Back up in trip but can only be watched.	057300	Grace McEntee P S McEntee	4	59.4kg	101 100/1
4th	9	12	Just Typical (G) FAV T 5-time winner last year and has made the frame on his last 3 starts, not for the first time looking a hard ride when fourth of 7 at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) most recently. Plenty to be positive a…	434483	Billy Loughnane Ian Williams	5	59.4kg	4.50 7/2
9th	10	2	Soames Forsyte (G) P Quirky type (regular slow starter) who bounced back to winning ways over C&D in January. Form has been mixed since, running poorly after 7 weeks off at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) earlier in the mo…	065973	T Eaves M Herrington	7	59kg	26 25/1
12th	11	4	Bajan Bandit (G) V Seems to be finding some consistency, placed for a third start running when second of 11 at Lingfield (1m) 11 days ago, finishing well but no match for a lightly-raced improver. Each-way claims again…	320132	Paddy Bradley P Morris	6	59kg	7.50 13/2
2nd	12	7	Special Breeze (F) Fair maiden but no significant impact in 3 handicaps this year, running too badly to blame the 2f longer trip alone at Yarmouth (1¼m, good) back in May. Off since and watching brief advised (has had …	4-65725	K T O'Neill Mrs P Sly	4	58.1kg	15 14/1
14th	13	8	Aim For The Bull (G) P Clearly better than ever at present, recording his fourth success from his last 7 starts in 11-runner event at Windsor (1m, firm) 9 weeks ago. 2 lb nudge far from insurmountable and fancied to be in …	441107	Rob Hornby M Murphy	4	57.6kg	23 22/1
10th	14	10	Mr Fustic (G) PT Free-going sort who had race run to suit when back on the scoreboard over C&D in March. Shaped as if still in form at Lingfield 6 weeks later but yet to win on turf and ran below form when last seen …	314504	Marco Ghiani Andi Brown	8	57.6kg	21 20/1
