Tomfre¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 102| CD

9/2

Seven wins from 22 Flat runs. 8/1, below form fifth of 16 in handicap at Ascot (7f, soft) 10 days ago, doing too much too soon. Winner of this race last year and no surprise if he repeats the dose.

Form: 1-22985

Bear Force One^p³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: R A Teal| OR: 96| D

18/1

Latest win at Newbury in August. 6/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to soft) 31 days ago. May again find one or two too good.

Form: 6-04616

Persuasion⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: C Hills| OR: 95| D

11/1

Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good to firm, 8/1) 45 days ago, better placed than most. Versatile ground-wise and he should have a part to play.

Form: 072-103

(3)

Motawaajed³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas| OR: 97| D

9/2

Three wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Doncaster in August. Fourth of 7 in handicap back on Town Moor (7f, good to firm, 2/1) 33 days ago. Needs considering.

Form: 412114

Ropey Guest^v¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: T P Queally| T: G G Margarson| OR: 94| D

20/1

Latest win at Yarmouth in September. Visored for 1st time, respectable twelfth of 26 in handicap (80/1) at Newmarket (9f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Back down in trip and others are more persuasive.

Form: 080510

(6)

Sunset Breeze^v1⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 93

11/1

Unreliable type. 5/1, last of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 59 days ago. Visor on 1st time and he needs to get back on track.

Form: 2-09240

Able Kane¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 89| C| D

4/1

Course winner. Five wins from 19 Flat runs, the latest at Doncaster in September. 15/2, respectable fourth of 17 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Has to enter calculations.

Form: 623214

Milltown Star¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: David Egan| T: M R Channon| OR: 87| D

7/1

28/1, sixth of 12 in minor event at Ascot (8f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Has edged down to an attractive mark, but likely to find a few too good all the same.

Form: 4-65076

(4)

Wobwobwob^b1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: A Keatley| OR: 87| D

8/1

Latest win at York in May. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to soft, 6/1) 14 days ago, not clear run. Blinkers on 1st time and needs to raise his game a touch.

Form: 316035

(10)

Asad^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 84| D

9/1

Good second of 9 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good, 8/1) 24 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Ought to give another good account.

Form: 243242

Forecasts

Able Kane (4/1), Tomfre (9/2), Motawaajed (9/2), Milltown Star (7/1), Wobwobwob (8/1), Asad (9/1), Persuasion (11/1), Sunset Breeze (11/1), Bear Force One (18/1), Ropey Guest (20/1)

TOMFRE did well under the circumstances when fifth in a valuable Ascot handicap 10 days ago and he is taken to repeat his 2020 success in this race, despite being 9 lb higher this time round. If the ground remains on the slow side, all the better for Ralph Beckett's charge. Motawaajed merits respect, but Asad and Able Kane may emerge as the main dangers. Persuasion also needs a second look.
