Gerard Mentor has the ability if not the inclination. He is handicapped to run well although he is not the bravest. If in a going mood then he could be placed.
Sugarloaf Lenny did well to win at Yarmouth last time. He's up only 2lb for that but going up to 1m4f should I think bring some more improvement. Good chance with Brandon taking 5lb off.
Summergrounds has been fairly consistent with two good recent runs behind him at Market Rasen. He prefers good ground so he wouldn't want it to get too soft.
Jewel Of London goes okay at home, showing plenty of speed. I think the sharp 6f around here will suit her and I'm convinced she will run well. Chances
Luckie Seven is a decent horse and he did well to win after a long absence up here last time. Gordon's horse is all the rage but Luckie Seven will make sure it won't be a walk in the park for him
This is the right race for Midnight Jewel. He has a good strike-rate on summer going and is ready after a couple of runs following almost a year off. The main hope is that the rain stays away.
Rajindri has been running well and should be competitive under her big weight. Ideally, she would have liked easier ground but she's top-rated and should run well.

Law Of Design is a proper horse, a lovely gelded son of Sotsass and he made a very promising start at Newmarket. I could have waited another week but this four-horse race looked a good opportunity. Very hopeful.
Peter the Wolf will have learnt a lot from his first run. Sticking at this trip, we should see him travel much more strongly today and finish a good deal closer.
The stretch back up to 1m6f should help Story Horse. The flat galloping Southwell AW track ought to suit him and from a good draw, he should soon be in contention. Hopeful.
04/09/24 - 1st 11/2 Original quote: "Miss Dolly Rocker got a bad ride last time in one of the Racing League races. She was given too much to do having been allowed to drift back after making a good start. She shouldn't be far away if everything goes right today."
Forgotten Treasure has slipped into Classified stakes after a last run under an inexperienced rider when she was very slowly away. I think she will act on the track and the ground will be fine. Chances.
Ajp Kingdom ran one good 2nd place here either side of two poor efforts so far this year. If he could recapture the form that brought him three consecutive hurdle wins in the summer of 2023, he would be a major contender.
Almazhar Garde has been running consistently well of late. I've waited a couple of weeks to run him and whether that was the correct thing to do or not I'm unsure, but he's in good form and I'm expecting another solid effort. Hopeful.
