Recon Mission²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 78| D

9/2

Down to an attractive mark following a low-key start to this season and returned to form when finding just one too strong at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) last time. Still, this looks more competitive and others make more appeal for win purposes.

Impeach^b,t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: B A Curtis| T: C Allen| OR: 78

14/1

Three-time winner on the AW this year (all over 6f at Lingfield), but failed to beat a rival home back on turf at Windsor 10 days ago.

Form: 257147

Han Solo Berger^v¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: L Dettori| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 75| D

8/1

Clearly lit up by first-time visor when scoring unchallenged at Yarmouth (5f, good) last month. Trailed in last of 12 at Newmarket recently, but will be a threat if able to bounce back here with Frankie Dettori in the hot-seat.

Nordic Glory²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: M J Attwater| OR: 73| D

17/2

Multiple AW winner who bettered previous turf efforts when a close third at Goodwood in June. Best work at the finish when fourth of six back on polytrack at Lingfield (5f) last time and he's not without each-way hope.

Acrion^t¹²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: B J Meehan| OR: 68

3/1

Showed the benefit of debut spin when landing a 6f Lingfield novice (AW) in January. Improved again when following up at Wolverhampton two months later, and while stall 10 isn't ideal, he is otherwise very appealing on this handicap/turf debut given the potential he possesses.

Form: 5-11

Pablo Del Pueblo¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 68

6/1

Opened turf account in good style at Lingfield (6f, good) in May, but that was off a 7 lb lower mark and free-going tendencies have proved his downfall at Windsor and Epsom since.

Form: 633155

Saaheq¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 67| CD

12/1

C&D winner off 13 lb higher mark last June and back to form from out of the blue when getting on top close home on the AW at Lingfield (5f) recently. Will be a danger to all if able to build on that back at this venue.

Form: 45-0061

(11)

Delagate This Lord^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: S Hodgson| OR: 64| D

9/1

Losing run stretches back more than two years, but arrives here on the back of good placed efforts at Bath and Doncaster. Each-way chance off this reduced mark if stall 11 doesn't prove too much of a hindrance.

Form: 555-833

(7)

Street Parade^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Joey Haynes| T: M J Attwater| OR: 62| CD

11/1

Got his head back in front in a five-runner Brighton handicap (5.3f, good) last month, but failed to land a meaningful blow at Bath since and likely to find a few too good once more. Yard also saddles Beauen Arrows.

Manettino^t,v⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S De Sousa| T: S C Williams| OR: 63| D

16/1

Hasn't gone on as hoped following Yarmouth 2-y-o debut success and, though he performed with credit in this headgear combination back there last week, others look stronger on this occasion.

Forecasts

Acrion (3/1), Recon Mission (9/2), Pablo Del Pueblo (6/1), Han Solo Berger (8/1), Nordic Glory (17/2), Delagate This Lord (9/1), Beauen Arrows (10/1), Street Parade (11/1), Saaheq (12/1), Impeach (14/1), Manettino (16/1)

The eyes are immediately drawn to unexposed handicap debutant ACRION, who looked promising when scoring twice over 6f on the all-weather earlier this year. He hasn't been treated too kindly by the draw, but this stiff 5f could be just the ticket now switched to turf and his opening mark could turn out to be a pretty lenient one. Saaheq will be a threat if able to build on his latest success and he is feared most ahead of Han Solo Berger.
