Wadilsafa^t1⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Dane O'Neill| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 112| CD

11/2

Won three of his four 3-y-o starts culminating in a smooth Sandown Listed success in September. Ran too bad to be true on his return to action, and fitting of a tongue now tie hints at why. Capable of bouncing back if the aid has desired effect.

Form: 2/1911-8

Oh This Is Us¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: R Hannon| OR: 111| D

13/2

Remarkable effort to win a handicap from a mark of 108 at Chester last year and has been running well in Pattern company this year, most recently when second to Zaaki in Diomed Stakes at Epsom last time. Shortlisted again.

Sir Dancealot²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: G Mosse| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 115| C

7/2

Last year's Group 2 Lennox Stakes winner, and followed up at that level in the Hungerford Stakes. Has won on good to soft, and caught the eye on his return in the Lockinge at Newbury, so must go well as long as ground doesn't worsen.

Form: 19550-7

Happy Power³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: S De Sousa| T: A M Balding| OR: 105| BF

6/5

Won a 7f handicap at Newbury in April, and further improvement when 1½L third of 7 to Safe Voyage in listed race at Haydock last time. Winner franked that form with a Group 3 win there last weekend, so claims there for all to see.

Form: 4131-13

Raakib Alhawa²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: B A Curtis| T: D M Simcock| OR: 98| D

13/2

Made a winning debut on good-to-soft ground at Newbury in September, and better than the bare result when 5½L seventh of 8 to King of Comedy in Listed Heron Stakes at Sandown on return. May well do better, for all he needs to.

Form: 10-7

Forecasts

Happy Power (6/5), Sir Dancealot (7/2), Wadilsafa (11/2), Oh This Is Us (13/2), Raakib Alhawa (13/2)

None of the quintet can be ruled out, but as long as the ground doesn't ride any worse than the forecast, SIR DANCEALOT makes plenty of appeal. The selection shaped as if retaining all his ability in the Lockinge last month, and was a dual Group 2 winner over 7f last year. Happy Power is progressing well, and found only Safe Voyage too strong at Haydock last time, while Oh This Is Us is hard to fault in terms of toughness and consistency.
