Dundory^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: K Stott| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 72| CD

13/2

C&D winner but he came in only eighth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good) 26 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 512568

Party Island²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D J Coakley| OR: 72| D

9/1

Arrives in decent nick, sixth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good) 26 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 064426

Carp Kid^p¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 69| D

18/1

Scored at Windsor and Chepstow in July but only fifth of 7 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good) 18 days ago. Sort to bounce back.

Form: 946115

Eagle One^t⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: L P Keniry| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 68

14/1

Fair 1m4f winner for Ronald Harris. Tongue tied and not discredited when second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 92 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 22223-2

(1)

Mount Olympus⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A King| OR: 68

4/1

Made it 2-3 for his new yard this year with a career best in 12-runner handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good) 47 days ago. Up 7 lb but weighted to close again.

Form: 949-141

(8)

On The Right Track¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: M D I Usher| OR: 67| CD

25/1

C&D winner who posted a good ¾-length second of 8 to Lhebayeb in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 184162

(6)

Meleri¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 67

11/2

Good second of 7 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good) 18 days ago, sticking to his task well. Very much one to consider off just a 1 lb higher mark.

Form: 457-642

(11)

Glen Again^p,t⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: Ian Williams| OR: 67

17/2

Yet to hit top form this term, tongue strap on for 1st time when ninth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 41 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 06/0569

(3)

Fascinating Lips⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 67

13/2

Dual winner in 2022 but only twice raced this summer and eighth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 41 days ago. More is required now back up in trip.

Form: 2123-78

(10)

Capstan^h¹⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 65

80/1

Fair maiden but he comes here on the back of modest efforts at Goodwood and Salisbury in May. Needs to bounce back after his 101-day break.

Form: 55-4307

(13)

Lawn Ranger¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 65| C

11/1

Course winner who also scored at Windsor in August. Below-form third of 7 in handicap here (9.9f, heavy) 10 days ago so more is needed.

Form: 536713

(9)

Lhebayeb^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 59

11/2

Arrives on a hat-trick after back-to-back 11.5f wins at Bath last month. Up 4 lb but had more left in the tank on latter occasion so she's a player.

Forecasts

Mount Olympus (4/1), Lhebayeb (11/2), Meleri (11/2), Dundory (13/2), Fascinating Lips (13/2), Glen Again (17/2), Party Island (9/1), Lawn Ranger (11/1), Eagle One (14/1), Millions Memories (16/1), Carp Kid (18/1), On The Right Track (25/1), Total Lockdown (25/1), Capstan (80/1)

MOUNT OLYMPUS has thrived since joining Alan King and a 7 lb rise for his latest Leicester victory doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from going 3-4 for his new stable. Hat-trick seeking Lhebayeb rates the obvious danger, although in-form pair Meleri and Eagle One need factoring in too.
