Aberama Gold^v¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 101| D

12/1

Smart gelding. 5 wins from 16 runs this year. 9/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f, heavy) 14 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Glorious Angel. Respected.

Form: 100001

Albasheer^b²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 99| D

7/1

Smart gelding. Latest win at York in August. Shaped much better than result when fifth of 22 in handicap at York (6f, soft, 15/2) 28 days ago, effort only petering out late on testing ground. Makes tapeta debut. Not taken lightly.

Form: 781845

Brad The Brief^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: H Palmer| OR: 102| D

10/1

Useful gelding. Seven wins from 19 Flat runs. Good 1¾ lengths fifth of 14 to Exxtra in Prix de Seine-et-Oise at Chantilly (6f, heavy, 14/1) 15 days ago. Heading back in the right direction recently and has to be respected.

Form: 0-45845

Tacarib Bay⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 101| D

8/1

Useful gelding. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 3/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 5 days ago, slowly away. May strip fitter for that run but others are preferred dropping to 6f for first time since his debut.

Form: 536605

(9)

Embrace²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 91

10/1

Useful filly. 8/1, 4¼ lengths eighth of 12 to Funny Story in listed race at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Profile over further is much more convincing, so others are preferred.

Form: 400038

(5)

Glorious Angel¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 88| C| D

33/1

Useful filly. Course winner. 3 wins from 20 runs this year. 6/1, creditable 1¼ lengths second of 10 to Aberama Gold in handicap at Doncaster (5f, heavy) 14 days ago. More needed on these terms.

Form: 254222

(6)

Secret Angel²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 96| D

11/1

Useful filly. 9/1, 6¼ lengths tenth of 12 to Funny Story in listed race at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Tough and likeable sort but probably needs to step forward to figure here.

Form: 652320

(4)

Sense Of Duty²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: W J Haggas| OR: 106| CD

4/5

Smart filly. Impressive when winning Chipchase Stakes over C&D last season. Not at same level in pair of starts this year, though probably found ground against her when 10 lengths tenth of 15 to Art Power in Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot (6f, soft) 21 days ago. May bounce back.

Form: 1/111-30

(1)

Sweet Harmony^b²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: R Spencer| OR: 84| D

100/1

Fairly useful filly. 80/1 and blinkered for 1st time, good 2¼ lengths fifth of 12 to Funny Story in listed race at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Plenty to find on form.

Forecasts

Sense Of Duty (4/5), Juan Les Pins (13/2), Albasheer (7/1), Tacarib Bay (8/1), Sophia's Starlight (8/1), Embrace (10/1), Brad The Brief (10/1), Secret Angel (11/1), Aberama Gold (12/1), Glorious Angel (33/1), Sweet Harmony (100/1)

ALBASHEER has built a fine record in top-level handicaps since joining Archie Watson and is fancied to make a successful transition to listed company. Sense of Duty hasn't really been given the opportunity to show what she is capable of in a limited campaign this season, but was so impressive when winning the Chipchase here last season that she can't be ruled out, whilst Stewards' Cup winner Aberama Gold is also a player.
