Dark Pine^b³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: D Loughnane| OR: 83

40/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, soft) 32 days ago. Continues to edge down the weights and he's not discounted.

Form: 265998

Arthur's Realm²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 83| BF

6/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Visored for 1st time, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (9f, soft, 4/1) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip and one to consider off a reduced mark.

Form: 423537

Sonnerie Power⁹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 82| D

4/1

9/2 and hooded for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Chester (11.3f, soft). Off 96 days and will be a danger to all if able to get back on track.

Form: 14-3447

(14)

Haku¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Darragh Keenan| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 81| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Redcar (14f, good) 11 days ago. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 1-32047

(4)

Duke Of Oxford²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: James Doyle| T: M L W Bell| OR: 85| D

4/1

Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. Respectable third of 13 in handicap (18/1) at this course (11f) 21 days ago. Needs to raise his game.

Form: 11403

(2)

Red Flyer³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: K Jewell| OR: 79| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 8 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good to firm, 14/1) 34 days ago, running on. Solid claims off the same mark.

Form: 435062

(3)

Saligo Bay¹³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 79| BF| D

28/1

One win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Windsor in May. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Newbury (12f, firm, 5/4). Off 133 days ahead of this polytrack debut. Likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 56/3-415

(1)

Imaginary World²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: N Callan| T: J Tate| OR: 84

9/1

Last of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, soft, 5/1) 27 days ago. Perhaps unsuited by the slow ground there and each-way shout if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 132637

(13)

Quian^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: George Rooke| T: T Gallagher| OR: 78

100/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Last of 6 in handicap (50/1) at Haydock (14f, heavy) 18 days ago. Chance on old form but he's hard to warm to based on recent evidence.

Form: 59-6056

(6)

Overactive³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 84| D

9/1

Latest win at Leicester in August. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good to firm, 11/1) 39 days ago. Makes polytrack debut (performed well both starts on tapeta). Possibilities if he takes to this surface.

Form: 742117

(11)

French Invasion²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: C Johnston| OR: 80| CD

7/1

C&D winner. 10/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at York (11.8f, soft) 25 days ago, faltering. Others look stronger.

Form: 309248

(12)

Dancing In Paris³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: Ian Williams| OR: 80| BF

10/1

Sixth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Ascot (12f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and won't be far away if he proves to be effective on this surface.

Forecasts

Sonnerie Power (4/1), Duke Of Oxford (4/1), Malka (4/1), Red Flyer (6/1), Arthur's Realm (6/1), French Invasion (7/1), Glenister (8/1), Imaginary World (9/1), Overactive (9/1), Dancing In Paris (10/1), Haku (18/1), Saligo Bay (28/1), Dark Pine (40/1), Quian (100/1)

RED FLYER struggled to make an impact on his first three starts since returning from a break in June, but he got back on track when just edged out in the Jump Jockeys' Derby at Epsom last month (dual subsequent winner Western Stars back in third) and a reproduction of that form would give him every chance off the same mark. Sonnerie Power presumably didn't take well to the hood (discarded here) at Chester and he is second choice ahead of Arthur's Realm and Dancing In Paris.
