French Rain^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: D McMonagle⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 88| BF

10/1

Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 4/1) 14 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Not one to write off.

Form: 040-237

(8)

La Maquina^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 87| D

10/1

1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Newmarket in July. Below form tenth of 17 in handicap (8/1) at Goodwood (7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Needs things to drop right.

Form: 216-510

(1)

Mohareb¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D Tudhope| T: M Appleby| OR: 86| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 6/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 14 days ago, not much room. Goes well here and still very much of interest from a handy mark.

Form: 766316

(3)

Golden Force^v⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Louis Steward| T: C Fellowes| OR: 85| D

20/1

Good second of 8 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good, 9/1) 40 days ago. Likely to be involved if he can settle from a handy draw.

Form: 31-4052

(2)

Royal Pleasure^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 90| BF| D

16/5

Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Hooded for 1st time, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 4/1) 14 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 2-12023

(11)

Eagle Creek¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: W J Knight| OR: 82| C| D

18/1

Course winner. 16/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 14 days ago. On last winning mark and back in form, so not a forlorn hope.

Form: 306952

(12)

The Attorney²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: C Hills| OR: 87| D

7/2

85/40, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 28 days ago, bit in hand. Latest form looks strong but has poor draw to overcome.

Form: 31-0431

(9)

Gallipoli^v¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 77| D

22/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 16/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 14 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 420006

(5)

Sunset Salute^v1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR: 82

50/1

Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Chester in May. 10/1, 13 lengths seventh of 8 to The Attorney in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 28 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Difficult ask.

Form: 4157

(10)

Isola Rossa^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Mitchell| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 81| CD

15/2

C&D winner. 13/2, good fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 14 days ago, slowly away. Remains relatively unexposed, so may yet have a bigger effort in her.

Form: 1-33924

(4)

Buckingham^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 74| D

33/1

Latest win at Bath in June. 50/1, last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive.

Form: 3-19540

(6)

Hover⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: M Dwyer| T: M Meade| OR: 74

28/1

Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, fourth of 5 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good to soft) 86 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 4317-4

Forecasts

Royal Pleasure (16/5), The Attorney (7/2), Mohareb (4/1), Isola Rossa (15/2), French Rain (10/1), La Maquina (10/1), Eagle Creek (18/1), Golden Force (20/1), Gallipoli (22/1), Hover (28/1), Buckingham (33/1), Sunset Salute (50/1)

MOHAREB was successful at this track in July and would have made a bigger impact at Newcastle subsequently had he not endured a troubled passage, so a chance is taken on him to resume winning ways from a mark that still seems lenient on old form. The Attorney would pose a major threat if Adam Kirby can negate a wide draw, while Isola Rossa has been threatening a bigger effort lately.
