Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 82| D

8/1

Three wins this year. Found run of good form coming to a halt at Ayr last time but he's not the type to stay down for long.

Form: 022150

Sly Madam^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: T E Whelan| T: Miss S West| OR: 80| D

12/1

Five wins from 15 runs this year, the latest at Epsom earlier this month. Flying too high in listed race at Sandown last time and likely still in form.

Form: 124115

Just Amber³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Planas⁽⁷⁾| T: C G Cox| OR: 77| CD

18/5

C&D winner in June and followed up at Newmarket 8 days later. An 8 lb higher mark was enough to find her out at Goodwood last time, though.

Form: 644114

Strongbowe^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| D

11/1

Latest win at Carlisle in July. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap (50/1) at Newcastle (1m) 13 days ago, running on. Merits consideration.

Flylikeaneagle^b,t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: O J Orr| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 71| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Seven wins from 23 Flat runs, including 4 in a very productive spell since joining this yard at the start of the summer. Did it quite cosily at Ayr 12 days and 5 lb rise is unlikely to prevent a bold bid if in a similar mood.

Form: 211331

Red Kite⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 75| D

4/1

Won maiden at Brighton (1m) in June and took a step forward with headgear left off to gain first success in handicap company at Ripon (1m) in August. Good third of 9 at Newmarket since. Considered.

Arranmore^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: S A Gray| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 71| D

18/1

No win in 2021, including well held in classified event at the Doncaster St Leger meeting last time (final start for David O'Meara). Needs to have been perked up by a change of scenery.

Form: 976520

Intercessor^b³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: P J McDonald| T: J Gallagher| OR: 69| BF| C| D

8/1

Pair of Epsom wins this summer but not at his best when 8¼ lengths fifth of 12 to Sly Madam back there last time. Bounce back called for.

Form: 351215

Typical Man^h³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: David Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 66

10/1

Bit below form 8 lengths third of 12 to Sly Madam in handicap (15/2) at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Will need to step up a fair bit on this season's efforts to take this.

Form: 259-053

(6)

Albegrey¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69| BF| D

11/1

Winner at Ripon in May. 10/3, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Ayr (1m, good) 12 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 174437

Forecasts

Just Amber (18/5), Red Kite (4/1), Flylikeaneagle (5/1), Intercessor (8/1), Detective (8/1), Typical Man (10/1), Strongbowe (11/1), Albegrey (11/1), Sly Madam (12/1), Arranmore (18/1)

The thriving FLYLIKEANEAGLE had a bit up his sleeve when scoring at the Ayr Western meeting 12 days ago and may be up to defying the handicapper again. Red Kite heads the dangers along with Tim Easterby pair Strongbowe and Albegrey.
