Borgi²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: B A Curtis| T: S Woods| OR: 81

28/1

Won twice on all-weather last year. After 10 months off, looked rusty when fifth of 8 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 22/1) 26 days ago. Could fare better with his reappearance run behind him.

Form: 12216-5

Wind Your Neck In⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: P D Evans| OR: 80| BF| D

4/1

In first-time visor, possibly found race coming too soon when seventh of 8 in handicap (11/4) at Salisbury (9.9f, heavy) 6 days ago. Headgear removed and he's not discounted off a workable mark.

Form: 824027

Stressfree⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81

10/3

Successful at Longchamp in April. Has shaped well both starts for current yard, clear of the rest when second of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Ayr (10f, soft) 8 days ago. Leading contender.

Lunar Jet¹⁵¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 72| BF| CD

40/1

C&D winner. Run best excused when fifth of 6 in handicap (13/8) at this C&D (heavy) in May, unsuited by emphasis on speed. First run for yard after leaving Michael Mullineaux.

Form: 69-3145

(2)

Unplugged¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 72| D

10/1

Recorded back-to-back wins this summer, with latest success at Pontefract in July. Continued in good heart when fourth of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 12 days ago and he can make his presence felt.

Form: 113424

(4)

Orchestra¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 73| D

7/2

Back down in trip, ran well when third of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good, 12/1) 18 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 355373

(8)

Ectocross¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: S Dow| OR: 68| CD

9/2

Recorded a third win of the year when landing 11-runner handicap (28/1) at this C&D (heavy) 15 days ago, just kept up to work. Respected despite a 6 lb rise in the weights.

Form: 941221

Dubai Dreamer²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 66

11/2

Ran creditably making all-weather debut when sixth of 12 in handicap (4/1) at Kempton (1m) 23 days ago. Remains open to progress as he goes up in trip.

Form: 73436

Forecasts

Stressfree (10/3), Orchestra (7/2), Wind Your Neck In (4/1), Ectocross (9/2), Dubai Dreamer (11/2), Unplugged (10/1), Rocha Do Leao (12/1), Borgi (28/1), Lunar Jet (40/1)

STRESSFREE has made an encouraging start for David O'Meara, pulling clear of the remainder when runner-up at Ayr 8 days ago, and he can build on that to go one better. The main danger could be Ectocross, who arrives on the back of a recent C&D success, with Unplugged completing the shortlist.
