Sir Joseph Swan²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 57

7/2

One win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to firm, 15/2) 21 days ago. More needed if he's to follow up off this 3 lb higher mark back on the AW.

Form: 361-701

(5)

Kitten's Dream^b²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: S Dixon| OR: 51| D

17/2

Unreliable type. 18/1, sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 26 days ago. Positive jockey booking but he's opposable all the same on this polytrack debut.

Form: 665686

(4)

Team Endeavour^p⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr Josh Agar⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 49| D

11/4

Winner at Wetherby in June. 11/2, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 6 days ago, no match for winner. That represented a step forward compared to his previous efforts on synthetics but still leaves him short of what will be required here.

Form: 6-98162

(8)

Fighting Poet^b⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr Edward Mitchell⁽⁷⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 49

18/1

10/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 65 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Shouldn't be judged too harshly on that and he needs a second look here having slipped to an attractive mark.

Form: 764720

(3)

Alioski^t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr Frederick Tett| T: G Brown| OR: 48| D

5/2

Creditable second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, soft, 11/8) 34 days ago. Untried beyond 1½m in this sphere but stamina shouldn't be an issue and he's in with a shout.

Form: 3551-34

(6)

Cinzento^p⁷⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Megan Jordan⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 48| D

18/1

One win from 3 runs this year. Won 12-runner handicap at Kempton (16f, 80/1) 77 days ago, all out. 2 lb nudge looks about right but his in-and-out profile tempers enthusiasm.

Form: 795-671

(1)

Iconic Mover¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Summer Nicholson⁽⁷⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 48| BF

20/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 2/1, respectable fourth of 8 in minor event at Lingfield (13f, good) 15 days ago. Back up in trip and should give another good account.

Form: 352224

(9)

All About Alice¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Fletcher Yarham⁽⁵⁾| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 47

15/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, sixth of 8 in minor event at Lingfield (13f, good) 15 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip and capable of a bold show if on a going day.

Form: 722956

(7)

Eaux De Vie²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: S Kirk| OR: 45

40/1

66/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 26 days ago. Little appeal.

Form: 070/887

Forecasts

Alioski (5/2), Team Endeavour (11/4), Sir Joseph Swan (7/2), All About Alice (15/2), Kitten's Dream (17/2), Cinzento (18/1), Fighting Poet (18/1), Iconic Mover (20/1), Eaux De Vie (40/1)

A chance is taken on ALL ABOUT ALICE, who was a shade below par on turf here last time but shaped well at Leicester prior to that and is on a competitive mark. Alioski has performed with credit all 3 starts since returning from a break in June (the latest over hurdles) and he is second choice ahead of Fighting Poet. Though 0-16, Iconic Mover has been knocking on the door this year and should make his presence felt, too.
