Graignes^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: George Baker| OR: 92

10/1

In resurgent form following a wind op, landing handicaps at Kempton/Sandown with plenty to spare prior to a good second at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy) 12 days ago. Possibly helped by where he raced then however and more needed now revised mark has kicked in.

Form: 55-4112

Marie's Diamond¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 88

16/1

On a long losing run but he did run a cracker when second at York (10.2f) in May. Has been some way below that level on last 3 starts though, and whilst this ease in class is a plus, others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 526009

Civil Law⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: R A Teal| OR: 87| CD

7/1

Goes well at this track, bagging a pair of C&D handicaps late on last year. Largely shaped as if still in form during first half of this term, not seen to best effect when ninth at Kempton 912f) in June. Gone well fresh previously and return to this venue a plus.

Naxos^h²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: G Boughey| OR: 92

7/2

Low-mileage sort who made it 2 from 3 in AW novice events on return at Newcastle (1m) in April. Unable to make an impact in Britannia Stakes (1m) after but back on the up when second at Newmarket (1m) 26 days ago. Unexposed at this trip and not discounted.

Form: 12-102

(10)

Carolus Magnus^t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 86

10/1

Fairly useful winner for Andrew Balding and threatening to come good for present yard, not seen to very best effect when fifth at Newcastle (10.2f) last week. Remains low-mileage and he's not underestimated.

Form: 300-695

(8)

Painters Palette^t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 85| CD

9/2

Fine start for present yard when landing pair of course handicaps in the spring (latterly over C&D). Plenty of good efforts since, adding to his tally at Redcar (1m) prior to solid fourth at Newcastle (10.2f) 7 days ago. Remains of interest from this mark.

Form: 623014

Have Secret¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 91

11/2

Improved with each start last year, winning 2 nurseries, and has continued on the up this term too, making the frame in a trio of top 3-y-o handicaps. Never involved under a more patient ride when seventh at York (10.2f) 12 days ago but respected as one of only two 3-y-os in the line up.

Form: 31-4427

(3)

Fantasy Believer²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: R Coakley| T: E Walker| OR: 84

25/1

Latest win at Newmarket (10f) in July. 15/2, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good) 28 days ago, best work finish. Each-way possibilities once more.

Form: 823513

(7)

Kingori²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 81

9/1

2-3 in AW maiden/novice events at 3 yrs and back on the up on second handicap start when second behind an upwardly-mobile sort at Newcastle (10.2f) in July. Not in same form switched to turf at Newmarket latest but no surprise to see a better showing back on an artificial surface.

Form: 113-825

(9)

Arcadian Nights²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 80| CD

12/1

5-y-o who gained third success of the year over C&D in April. Respectable effort at Haydock later that month and he comes here having posted a career-best effort when second at Chepstow (1m) 4 weeks ago. Operating from career-high mark now but he's clearly in good heart.

Form: 516172

Lucky San Jore^h¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 76| CD

22/1

Dual C&D winner upon joining present yard last autumn and, following a couple of lesser efforts in the spring, he returned to form when fourth at Leicester (8.2f) 15 days ago, keeping on having been hampered at the start. Likely to give another good account back on AW.

Form: 14-2004

Forecasts

Naxos (7/2), Painters Palette (9/2), Have Secret (11/2), Civil Law (7/1), Kingori (9/1), Graignes (10/1), Carolus Magnus (10/1), Arcadian Nights (12/1), Marie's Diamond (16/1), Lucky San Jore (22/1), Fantasy Believer (25/1)

Unsurprisingly plenty arrive with claims and there could be a spot of value in KINGORI. He wasn't at his best on turf latest but his profile on all weather is a positive one and this low-mileage 4-y-o can prove his present mark a workable one. Painters Palette and Naxos head up the dangers, whilst Carolus Magnus is threatening to come good soon and is also worth keeping an eye on.
