Night On Earth^h¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 95| D

9/1

Thriving on his racing on AW, supplementing his easy Kempton victory (5f) with another success from the front at Lingfield 12 days ago, holding the seconds strong challenge. Career-high mark to defy now but effective on turf and not ruled out.

Form: 252311

Twilight Calls²³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: H Candy| OR: 94| BF| D

6/5

Low-mileage sprinter who scored on return at Doncaster (6f) in May and defied 7 lb lower mark with bit to spare on July Course (5f) thereafter. Solid efforts in stronger handicaps thereafter and well worth consideration on return.

Form: 2/12146-

Aplomb²⁰⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 90

11/1

Useful sprinter who was largely consistent in defeat upon joining present stable last term. Below best in Swedish listed race (6f) final start in September but he did run well on return last year. Any easing of ground will help.

Form: 8/2F430-

(3)

Faustus¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Spencer| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 86| D

11/1

4-y-o who proved largely consistent on the back of success at Lingfield (5f, soft) in June. Well backed to score again on return from 5 months off at Newcastle (5f) last month and not dismissed lightly from 5 lb higher mark.

Form: 12330-1

(5)

Look Out Louis^p⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Hart| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 84| BF| D

15/2

Successful twice on turf last season (at up to 6f) and resumed progress in good style at Newcastle (5f) in January. Creditable third having been up with strong pace back there since but he'll likely face plenty of competition on front end again here.

Form: 1232-13

(8)

Yazaman²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 83| D

17/2

Winless following 2-y-o debut success for William Haggas back in 2020 and strictly below best on return to action at Kempton (6f) last month. Others arrive with much more pressing claims despite career-low mark.

Form: 62600-6

(2)

Isle Of Lismore¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: J Fanning| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 83| D

14/1

Dual 5f winner early last season (latterly on July Course). Largely underperformed thereafter though, and his Southwell reappearance spin 2 weeks ago has to go down as disappointing.

Form: 37089-9

(6)

Yimou¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Charlie Bennett| T: D K Ivory| OR: 81| D

16/1

Consistency hard to knock for all he doesn't find winning easy nowadays, no extra only late on when close-up third at Chelmsford (6f) in October. Probably needed Windsor reappearance 10 days ago and good showing anticipated.

Form: 22523-7

(1)

Ornate⁶⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 8-5| J: J F Egan| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 79| CD

16/1

Trailblazer who was kept busy on AW earlier this year, finding only a progressive 4-y-o too good at Wolverhampton (5f) in January. Proved more miss than hit since though and others make greater appeal.

Form: 526497

(7)

Han Solo Berger²¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: Ray Dawson| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 78| D

28/1

Multiple winner earlier in career but unable to get his head in front despite sliding mark on AW/turf last season. Interesting to see if a yard switch has a positive effect on return to action. One of 4 runners for Robert Cowell.

Forecasts

Twilight Calls (6/5), Look Out Louis (15/2), Yazaman (17/2), Night On Earth (9/1), Aplomb (11/1), Faustus (11/1), Isle Of Lismore (14/1), Yimou (16/1), Ornate (16/1), Han Solo Berger (28/1)

A low-mileage, dual winner last term, TWILIGHT CALLS ended the campaign with a solid effort in a competitive York handicap in the autumn, notably impressing with how he travelled. Likely to do better again, the likelihood of a strong pace here will suit Henry Candy's charge and he can come out on top. Aplomb and the hat-trick seeking Night On Earth head up the dangers.
