Verdict: Nothing would entirely surprise in an open handicap. GREAT BLASKET did well to win at Chepstow and he's still on a favourable mark.

Comment: Three good handicap runs this season included a second to Royal Hunt Cup winner My Cloud and latest Newmarket run was too bad to be true; handicapped about right but would have a chance if back on song.

Comment: Dual winner for Henry Candy and added a 7f Newmarket handicap on reappearance, which he followed with a close third on first attempt at 1m; drawn on the wrong side last time on the July course.

6/1

Comment: Has gone 0-10 since starting career with two novice wins; handicap joy has thus far proved elusive (five times a beaten favourite) but has competitive form off this sort of mark and can go well fresh; respected.

Comment: Dual AW winner who got off the mark on turf with a narrow verdict at Yarmouth (1m, good); penalised when making little impact in a handicap at Royal Ascot and this is easier.

Comment: Took advantage of a reduced mark to win under Elizabeth Gale at Chepstow (1m, good) last month; still well treated on his previous form so has to be considered.

Comment: Both wins over 6f but bang there in 1m handicaps the last twice and no reason why he won't be on the scene once more, kept to a Class 4.

Urban Sprawl

Jockey: Archie Young Trainer: C Johnston Age/Wt: 5/10-0 F: 410459 OR: 85

12/1

Comment: Usually gives his running and had no peace up front when below his best at the Curragh 12 days ago; thoroughly exposed and on a high enough mark, so one or two others appeal more.

Comment: Five of her six wins have been on the AW but capable on turf and was second after a lengthy break at Haydock (1m, good); entitled to be sharper this time.
