Racing Again 8th July Handicap

Back to form when landing a classified event at Wolverhampton by three lengths last time, Sanditon is effective at 7f on a sound surface and has to be respected returned to handicap company — the test is whether that revival holds up against regular handicappers.

A course-and-distance winner off a higher mark who had been running back into form until pulling hard and dropping away tamely at Beverley last time, Emerald Army is effective at 6-7f on today's going — a cold trainer at 4% and a wide draw are added concerns for a winless run.

Caught in traffic at a key point when beaten a length off this very mark at Wetherby last time, Captain Cess is unexposed at 7f and has handled today's going — a clear run here could make all the difference for a horse who retains latent ability, yet to score.

Landed a neck success at Hamilton earlier in recent starts and ran to form when fourth off a mark 1lb higher last time, Classy Clarets is consistent at 5-7f on a sound surface — the mark looks a shade stiff but first-time headgear could provide a sharpening effect.

Back on song when third beaten only half a length off this exact mark last time, staying the longer trip well, War Memorial landed a neck success at Musselburgh three starts back and is generally in good form — effective at 7f and could handle the mile if the going suits.
