Dark Island²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: H Main| OR: 75

6/1

Rare below-par effort when ninth of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 22 days ago, doing too much too soon. Had made the frame on his previous 3 starts, so no surprise to see him bounce back.

Form: 5-53229

(6)

Sense Of Worth¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 75

50/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Hinted at a revival when seventh of 8 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D 18 days ago, though failed to last home having again raced freely. Others more persuasive.

Form: 432007

Genesius⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 74| D

17/2

Latest win at Thirsk in June. Has run respectably both starts since, not ideally placed when third of 6 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good, 15/2) 65 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 28-4153

(9)

Adamaris^v1²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: D C Costello| T: A Keatley| OR: 73

28/1

Winner over hurdles for current yard this summer, though fell in novice at Southwell (15.8f, good to firm, 7/4) 22 days ago. On a workable mark as he returns to the Flat with visor on 1st time.

Form: 340-525

(1)

Khilwafy¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Sean Kirrane| T: D Thompson| OR: 72| C

18/1

Course winner. Stepped up on reappearance run when third of 8 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 18 days ago. Edging back down in the weights and he can give another good account.

Form: 1190-03

(4)

Unplugged²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 72| D

5/1

Recorded back-to-back wins this summer, with latest success at Pontefract in July. Ran at least as well when second of 8 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, good to firm, 4/1) 22 days ago, clear of rest. Major player.

Form: 211342

Silver Nightfall¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 77| C| D

9/2

Won twice here earlier in the year, before also scoring at Kempton in August. 11/2, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap back at Kempton (12f) 16 days ago, her saddle reportedly slipping. Can give her running again.

Form: 144314

(10)

King Of The Plains³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Cieren Fallon| T: C Johnston| OR: 77

15/2

Ran to fairly useful level first 3 starts, but well held after 7 weeks off when fourth of 5 in minor event (11/1) at Hamilton (11.1f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Needs to get back on track as he makes tapeta/handicap debut.

Form: 322P4

(7)

Denis Anthony^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 70| BF| D

5/2

Off the mark at Ffos Las in June and has continued in good heart since, fourth of 8 in handicap (15/8) at Bath (14f, firm) 23 days ago. Could be thereabouts once more as he makes tapeta debut with cheekpieces applied.

Form: 221324

(3)

Easter Island⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 62WS

50/1

Shaped as if amiss when last of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, heavy, 40/1) 55 days ago (has had another wind op since). Others preferred.

Form: 93-70

Forecasts

Denis Anthony (5/2), Silver Nightfall (9/2), Unplugged (5/1), Dark Island (6/1), King Of The Plains (15/2), Genesius (17/2), Khilwafy (18/1), Adamaris (28/1), Easter Island (50/1), Sense Of Worth (50/1)

Having won twice this summer, UNPLUGGED got back on the up when second at Haydock last time and he can build on that to return to winning ways. Heading the list of dangers is Genesius, who wasn't discredited behind a pair of 3-y-os on his latest outing, while Dark Island can bounce back to form returned to this grade.
