Riot¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 82| D

17/2

Produced his best effort for some time to pick up his second win of the campaign at Doncaster recently. Still well treated on old form, so likely to put up another solid showing.

Form: 155351

(3)

No Nay Nicki⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 80

9/2

Becoming well treated and got back on track when runner-up in a 16-runner event her last time. Threatening to come good, so worth taking a chance on.

Form: 230-852

(6)

Award Dancer³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 78

25/1

Ex-Irish gelding who was steadily improving for this stable prior to a poor run at Carlisle last time. Might well bounce back.

Form: 82318-0

(4)

Quest For Fun^t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 77

9/1

Lightly raced for current yard and stepping back in the right direction, third at Doncaster last time. On a handy mark, so can't be ruled out.

Form: 859-053

(1)

Ascot Adventure³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77| BF| D

9/2

Not long with this stable and has returned to form lately, finishing second at Musselburgh 3 days ago. Can make his presence felt if the race doesn't come too soon.

Form: 036432

(2)

Follow Your Heart^t⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 77| D

28/1

In rude health on the AW earlier this year, winning 3 handicaps on the bounce over 7f. Below form back on turf last time, however, and he's likely to find this too competitive.

Form: 2-11170

(10)

Motagally^b⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 77

66/1

Big step back in the right direction when second over C&D on penultimate outing but faild to back it up here last time. Others preferred.

Form: 84-6020

(14)

Thunder Roar¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 76| BF| D

13/2

Lightly-raced gelding who returned to form, on yard debut, when taking 11-runner handicap at Ayr in July. Not seen to best effect there last time and remains relatively unexposed.

Form: 2/3-4818

(13)

Cliffcake¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 76| D

22/1

Successful at Beverley in May and has remained in form since. Likely to find one or two better handicapped but he should give his running again.

Form: 9-00125

(5)

Challet⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 75| CD

13/2

Won twice here last year and is becoming well handicapped. Shaped better than the result when sixth at Beverley last time, so capable of making an impact with a good pace on the cards.

Form: 7586-06

(7)

Sun Power¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: A D Brown| OR: 74| D

33/1

Dual winner at 7f for Darryll Holland in 2021. Generally at least respectable efforts this season and small yard had a couple of winners last week.

Form: 9-67876

(8)

Doctor Khan Junior^v⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: G R Oldroyd| OR: 74| BF| CD

8/1

C&D winner in May who backed it up with creditable fourth of 16 in handicap here (7f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Not fully exposed and likely to go well again.

Form: 86-0114

(11)

Park Street¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 72| D

20/1

Upped his game to score at Beverley in June and backed it up with a solid showing there 10 days ago. Others look better treated but he should give another good account.

Form: 7-00613

(15)

Archduke Ferdinand⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 72| D

9/1

Bagged his first win in UK when narrowly taking 11-runner handicap at Musselburgh earlier this month (final outing for Tracy Waggot) and performed with credit when third at Ayr 4 days ago. Could be involved if the race doesn't come too soon.

Form: 808713

(16)

Golden Apollo^p,t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| C| D

28/1

Course winner. Has lacked consistency this season but well capable from this mark on his day, so not a forlorn hope.

Form: 6-59046

(9)

Devilwala^p,t1¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: P Hanagan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70

50/1

Struggling for form and handicapper isn't relenting at present, so others make more appeal.

Form: 005309

(17)

Ahamoment²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: William Pyle⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 66| D

50/1

Scored twice in June but tame effort in bid for the hat-trick at Musselburgh last time. Likely to face competition for the lead, and others make more appeal.

Form: 765117

Forecasts

Ascot Adventure (9/2), No Nay Nicki (9/2), Challet (13/2), Thunder Roar (13/2), Doctor Khan Junior (8/1), Riot (17/2), Quest For Fun (9/1), Archduke Ferdinand (9/1), Park Street (20/1), Cliffcake (22/1), Award Dancer (25/1), Golden Apollo (28/1), Follow Your Heart (28/1), Sun Power (33/1), Ahamoment (50/1), Devilwala (50/1), Motagally (66/1)

NO NAY NICKI signalled that she's back in form when runner-up here last time and, from a reduced mark, she's worth a chance to go one better at the possible expense of Riot, who scored with a bit in hand at Doncaster recently. The lightly-raced Doctor Khan Junior is another one to consider.
