Bold Ribb³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Ryan| OR: 70

7/2

Signed off for Joseph O'Brien with a 7f Dundalk maiden win in January. Respectable sixth in a pair of turf handicaps for new stable in recent months and not discounted back on AW.

Form: 223-166

Measured Moments²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Butler| OR: 69| D

8/1

Latest win at Leicester in July. Runner-up on next 2 outings and excuses (hampered) back on AW last time. Treated as if still in form.

Olympicus^h³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: K Stott| T: M Appleby| OR: 69| D

7/2

Winner at Newmarket (1¼m) in August. Stuck in the mud at Nottingham since. Has his first outing on AW here and appeals as one who could take well to the new surface.

Form: 9-75415

Flight Of Angels³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: C Johnston| OR: 72| D

12/1

Good second of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (1¼m, good to firm) last month but needs to shrug off a poor run at Redcar since.

Form: 336326

(11)

English Spirit⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: H Main| OR: 67

10/1

AW winner. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good, 5/1) 60 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal.

Form: 936045

(7)

Marion's Boy^v⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: R A Teal| OR: 65| CD

6/1

Four-time C&D winner but it's 18 runs since the last one in 2021. Better than bare result when 5 lengths seventh of 11 to Expert Witness over C&D 31 days ago and eased another 2 lb since. Visor back on.

Form: 24557V

Gallimimus^p⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: J Gallagher| OR: 69| D

150/1

Three turf wins for George Boughey at the start of the summer but well held on Sandown stable debut 6 weeks ago.

Form: 212428

Expert Witness^t³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: George Rooke| T: Sir M Todd| OR: 68| CD

8/1

Career best when winning 11-runner C&D handicap under George Rooke last month. Was well positioned on that occasion but still respected up 2 lb.

Form: 505381

Hul Ah Bah Loo⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 63| C

12/1

Course winner. One win from 23 Flat runs. 28/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 9 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 235084

Pillarsofcreation¹⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cameron Noble| T: R Varian| OR: 65

6/1

Promise amidst greenness on AW in February. Off since finishing well held on turf in April but returns as an unexposed sort from a leading yard who could have more to offer in handicaps. All the more interesting if backed.

Form: 530

(6)

Star Of Epsom²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: David Egan| T: P Phelan| OR: 51| BF| CD

25/1

Three-time C&D winner, the latest in June. 9/2, creditable sixth of 11over C&D 22 days ago, not ideally placed.

Form: 001576

Forecasts

Bold Ribb (7/2), Olympicus (7/2), Pillarsofcreation (6/1), Marion's Boy (6/1), Measured Moments (8/1), Expert Witness (8/1), English Spirit (10/1), Hul Ah Bah Loo (12/1), Flight Of Angels (12/1), Star Of Epsom (25/1), Gallimimus (150/1)

This looks open. OLYMPICUS appeals as one who could be suited by AW so he's the suggestion for the Mick Appleby team. Well-bred 3-y-o Pillarsofcreation would rate a big threat if the betting vibes are strong now handicapping on her return from a break. Measured Moments and last month's C&D scorer Expert Witness also make the shortlist.
