25/1

Multiple Flat winner in France; fell over hurdles on stable bow but didn't run badly in AW 'jumpers bumper' at Newcastle afterwards; tough to assess going handicapping in Britain and so market check seems best after a break.

Sorrel³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 83

1/4

Dansili filly is 0-4 but running well in all of those starts; twice placed since going into handicaps on turf this summer over 1m2f at Goodwood and Newbury and should be firmly in the mix despite 3lb increase as this longer trip promises to suit.

Form: 42-32

Punting¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 80

7/2

Second win in four starts this term when staying on very well to score over 1m2f at Sandown (good to firm; 13-2) 18 days ago. 5lb higher now but expected to go well again with longer trip favourable.

Form: 41-1341

Forecasts

Sorrel (1/4), Alemagna (11/4), Punting (7/2), Horn Of Plenty (6/1), Colony Queen (7/1), Winfola (25/1)

Punting was a good winner at Sandown last time and is respected despite a 5lb rise in this higher grade over a longer trip. Sorrel is also going up in distance, which should suit, and Colony Queen should have something to offer but this may go to ALEMAGNA for David Simcock. He's been unfortunate not hit the target lately and a new hood may inspire Oisin Murphy's mount. Winfola is one to monitor on her first start in handicap since arriving from France.
