Pride Of Nepal
PRIDE OF NEPAL is in the form of his life and can defy another 6 lb rise to complete the 5-timer. Recent Goodwood winner Damascus Steel and I'd Go Maniac are next on the shortlist.

Bagged back-to-back handicap wins for Denis Quinn around the turn of the year and made his second start for his new handler (previously assistant to Quinn) a winning one in a 7-runner race at Goodwood (1½m) 27 days ago. 3 lb higher now with cheekpieces applied there retained.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGoodwood1m 3f 218yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/7Thirsk1m 4f 8yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat6/12Lingfield Park1m 4fStandardFlat5/15Lingfield Park1m 4fStandardFlat3/7Wolverhampton1m 4f 51yStandardFlat2/10- 1(5)Carnival DayJ: Miss Amy CollierT: Jim Boyle4624-37Age 5SP7/210/3

Tends to go well here and shaped encouragingly over an inadequate 8.5f on return. Failed to build on that when seventh of 14 in handicap at Sandown (1¼m, good to soft) 34 days ago and yard form remains a concern.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1m 1f 209yGoodFlat7/14Epsom Downs1m 113yGoodFlat3/10Leicester1m 53ySoftFlat4/8Epsom Downs1m 2f 17yGood to SoftFlat2/10Sandown Park1m 1f 209ySoft (Heavy in places)Flat6/12- 5(2)Pride Of NepalJ: Miss Sarah BowenT: Tony Carroll6671111Age 8SP10/37/2

Notched his fourth consecutive win (last 2 under this rider) since switching back to turf when making light of a 48-hour turnaround in a 12-runner handicap at Ripon (1½m, good to firm, 9/4) 28 days ago. Should make a bold bid to extend that winning sequence.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosRipon1m 4f 10yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/12Chepstow1m 2fGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat1/9Lingfield Park1m 2fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/8Windsor1m 2fGood to FirmFlat1/15Wolverhampton1m 5f 219yStandardFlat7/8- 2(4)Naval CommandJ: Miss Georgie BensonT: Ralph Beckett/42-659Age 4SP11/25/1

Lightly-raced sort who stepped up on reappearance/stable debut when fifth of 10 to Ultrasoul at Chester in June despite not settling fully in first-time blinkers/tongue strap. Underwhelming at Kempton since, though he is still somewhat unexposed.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1m 2f 219yStandard / SlowFlat9/12Chester1m 2f 70yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat5/10Windsor1m 3f 99yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat6/7Newmarket (july)1mGood to FirmFlat2/5Leicester1m 2fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/10- 3(7)EpictetusJ: Miss Megan JordanT: Jamie Osborne4223305Age 6SP13/27/1

Winless for almost 3 years but has been knocking on the door this season over a variety of trips, looking quickly back to form from a long way off the pace when fifth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (1m, good) 13 days ago. Can give another good account but might need things to drop his way to score.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/10York1m 2f 56yGoodFlat17/18Lingfield Park1m 1fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat3/7Lingfield Park1m 4fStandardFlat3/7Wolverhampton1m 1f 104yStandardFlat2/9- 6(6)I'd Go ManiacJ: Miss Georgia KingT: Alan King14-8524Age 7SP8/115/2

Winner at Wolverhampton in November. Best effort since when second of 13 in handicap at Windsor (1¼m, good to firm) in May and shaped as if still in good form having been left poorly placed when fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) 48 days ago.

Shaped much better than previously for this yard switched to amateur races when runner-up in a 12-runner event at Wolverhampton in February and confirmed that return to form in this headgear when fourth of 9 at Lingfield (1½m, all-weather) next time.

Runner-up 3 times on all-weather earlier in year but found run of good form coming to a halt when well held at Lingfield in March and came a long way from capitalising on his lower turf mark after a break when a distant second in a 3-runner Newmarket handicap 3 weeks ago.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewmarket (july)1m 2fGood to FirmFlat2/3Lingfield Park1m 7f 169yStandardFlat6/7Kempton Park1m 2f 219yStandard / SlowFlat2/12Chelmsford City1m 2fStandardFlat2/6Wolverhampton1m 4f 51yStandardFlat3/10
