Further Measure²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: David Egan| T: S Kirk| OR: 86| D

28/1

Winner at Chelmsford City in September but only tenth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good) 22 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 34-5710

(3)

Tom Collins^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 83| D

15/2

Had hinted at promise this term and shaped as if need of run after 12 weeks off when fading tenth in handicap at Newbury (7f, good) 22 days ago. A winner in the mud last autumn, so rates a player.

Form: 51-0540

(12)

Global Esteem²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Aled Beech⁽⁵⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 82| D

16/1

Off 2 months but posted a career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good) 26 days ago. Goes on soft ground too, so he's not taken lightly nudged up just 1 lb.

Form: 858121

(14)

Diamil⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 85| BF

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden who posted good second of 10 in maiden (2/5) at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 58 days ago on debut for Ralph Beckett. May do better still, so he's in the mix.

Form: 9-4222

(16)

Coul Queen^t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: W Buick| T: P D Evans| OR: 84

40/1

Scored at Chester in July and suffered poor run when fifth of 6 in handicap there (7.6f, heavy) 8 days ago. In the shake-up eased 1 lb now.

Form: 313605

(5)

Arranmore^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81| D

16/1

Already a three-time winner this year, latest at Carlisle in August, and posted another good run when second of 11 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Form: 721222

(15)

Caribou¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D J Coakley| OR: 83| C

7/1

Course winner but off 5 months before fading sixth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Not ruled out with that run under his belt.

Form: 2411-56

(1)

Semser¹²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 80

66/1

Yet to his form in two runs for current yard, but didn't enjoy a clear run when eighth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) in June. Not written off after a break.

Form: 2231-88

(18)

Super Den¹⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson| T: T Kent| OR: 78WS

18/1

Still a maiden, and below-form fifth of 15 in handicap (6/1) at York (7f, good to soft). Off 141 days and had wind op but enters calculations if it sparks a resurgence.

Form: 44642-5

(6)

Bucephalus¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: C F Wall| OR: 78| D

4/1

Opened his account at Pontefract in May and has continued in good nick, second of 8 in 1m handicap at Newmarket 17 days ago. Ought to be competitive again.

Form: 513352

(4)

Newton Jack³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: W S Kittow| OR: 76| BF

12/1

Bagged 7f Salisbury handicap in May but below-form sixth of 10 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, soft, 9/4) 30 days ago. Merits consideration if shrugging off latest effort.

Form: 615226

(10)

Shouldering^h,t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: D Menuisier| OR: 76

10/1

Yet to score this term but he arrives in good nick, third of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Not discounted off an easing mark.

Form: 555333

(19)

Knowwhentorun^p¹³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 78

16/1

Yet to register a victory, but not disgraced in first-time cheekpieces when sixth of 11 to Coul Kat in handicap at Sandown (8f, soft). Off 136 days but not dismissed.

Form: 22-5766

(13)

Calcutta Cup^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 77| D

33/1

Unreliable individual who carried his head awkardly in first-time hood when only sixth of 8 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good) 14 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 615-756

(11)

Gin Palace¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 74| D

20/1

It's now fourteen runs since last win in 2020, but he posted creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Form: 250594

(17)

Coul Kat¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Coakley| T: B R Millman| OR: 76| D

50/1

Back to winning ways at Sandown (1m) in May but his form has gone the wrong way since, last of 8 at Newmarket 17 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 241558

(2)

Fangorn¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 73

14/1

Winless in eleven runs in 2021, though not disgraced when second of 8 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good) 14 days ago given did too much too soon. Considered off an easing mark.

Form: 562482

(9)

Kodiac Harbour²⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Joey Haynes| T: R Brisland| OR: 69| D

50/1

Fair 1m winner at his best but he beat only one at Lingfield (10f, AW) when last seen out 9 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running.

Form: 2221-50

(7)

John Betjeman^b¹³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 66

50/1

In winning form over hurdles when last seen out in the spring. Blinkers on for his return (won in them over jumps) so he's no forlorn hope.

Form: 9929/98-

Forecasts

Bucephalus (4/1), Diamil (11/2), Caribou (7/1), Tom Collins (15/2), Shouldering (10/1), Newton Jack (12/1), Fangorn (14/1), Knowwhentorun (16/1), Global Esteem (16/1), Arranmore (16/1), Super Den (18/1), Gin Palace (20/1), Further Measure (28/1), Calcutta Cup (33/1), Coul Queen (40/1), Kodiac Harbour (50/1), Coul Kat (50/1), John Betjeman (50/1), Semser (66/1)

It's been quite a long time between drinks, but TOM COLLINS should be all the better for his recent run and is fancied to take a big step forward now he gets his optimum conditions again of 1m on a soft surface. Arranmore arrives at the top of his game and is feared most in his bid for a fourth win of 2021 with in-form duo Bucephalus and Global Esteem also high on the shortlist.
