Glory Nights³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Tilly Evans⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 70

10/1

Fair maiden who has struggled to make an impact in handicaps on his last 3 outings. This is a bit easier but still hard to be confident.

Form: 42-7809

(1)

Lunanera³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 72

5/2

Winner at Chepstow (1m) in August on only his second handicap start. Perhaps found third outing in a fortnight too much when well held at Thirsk at the beginning of September. Freshened up since and this looks a good opportunity for him to bounce back.

Form: 476310

(10)

Strawberry Jack^t⁴⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Ned Sangster⁽⁷⁾| T: George Scott| OR: 66

66/1

Won twice over 1m on turf in 2022 but well held in 2 outings in the first half of 2022 and not seen since. Has been given a chance by the handicapper but the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations.

Form: 6160/94-

Uncle Dick²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 65| CD

5/2

Course winner who has been successful 3 times over 1m at Brighton this year, the latest success coming 3 weeks ago. 6 lb higher now back on AW but still much respected as an in-form sort.

Form: 4-91311

(7)

Rose Light²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr J Harding| T: J G Portman| OR: 63

5/1

Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 26 days ago but claims on her runner-up effort there prior to that.

Form: 305624

(9)

Blue Yonder¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr E Cagney| T: R A Fahey| OR: 67| CD

17/2

Successful twice in May, the latter over C&D, but he's lost his way in recent starts.

Form: 127880

(8)

Marmara Star¹⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Jack Callan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 65| BF| CD

5/1

Won on C&D handicap debut in January and creditable second of 6 back here 3 months later. Off a further 6 months since but still one to consider as an unexposed sort from a good stable.

Form: 700-812

(2)

Flame Of Kodiac^p³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss Amy Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 64| CD

80/1

Course winner in March but lost his way since, including on last month's Chepstow stable debut in first-time cheekpieces (retained).

Form: 631085

(4)

Dark Company¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Jodie Wingrove⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 56

20/1

Won at Lingfield in July (final start for Mark Johnston) but not one to rely on and below that level in his 3 outings for new yard.

Form: 221584

(5)

Caracristi¹²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Mr Shay Halton⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 51| CD

33/1

C&D winner in March. Also recorded some creditable placed efforts later in the spring but off since a lesser run here in June.

Form: 193367

Forecasts

Uncle Dick (5/2), Lunanera (5/2), Rose Light (5/1), Marmara Star (5/1), Blue Yonder (17/2), Glory Nights (10/1), Dark Company (20/1), Caracristi (33/1), Strawberry Jack (66/1), Flame Of Kodiac (80/1)

LUNANERA has been freshened up since a lesser run at Thirsk early last month and is taken to resume his progression and strike under Brodie Hampson. Uncle Dick has been prolific at Brighton recently and rates an obvious threat along with unexposed George Boughey runner Marmara Star.
