Silent Attack¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 96| D

14/1

Far from disgraced on his last two starts and has been eased 4 lb but weaker races in the winter likely to offer his best chance of another victory.

Form: 3-12056

(3)

Dawaam¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 95| D

9/2

Won AW novice events 11 months apart. Has raced only twice since but ran up to his best when fifth on Kempton handicap debut (1m) last time and could well have more to offer.

Form: 1/1-95

(4)

Hortzadar²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: D O'Meara| OR: 94| D

3/1

Had been shaping up well and proved better than ever when resuming winning ways at Ripon (1m) last month, despite coming from further back than ideal. Seems sure to go well again.

Form: 0D5331

Plantadream¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: J R Best| OR: 92| D

5/2

Capitalised on an ease in grade when winning 10-runner minor event at Ascot (1m) earlier this month, having things fall into place well but doing it readily. Needs to back that up now.

Form: 121001

(6)

Gin Palace¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 90| D

5/2

Returned with wins at Newbury and Newmarket (1m) in June and looked as good as ever when runner-up at Sandown (1m) in August. Only sixth of 8 at Ascot last time but could bounce back.

Form: 6-11026

Forecasts

Plantadream (5/2), Gin Palace (5/2), Hortzadar (3/1), Willie John (3/1), Dawaam (9/2), Silent Attack (14/1)

HORTZADAR proved better than ever to resume winning ways at Ripon last month, despite coming from further back than ideal, so a 3 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. The lightly-raced Dawaam could well have more to offer if he continues to stand training and is feared most.
