Diamand De Vindecy¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: R Bevis| OR: 66

25/1

Winner at Haydock in June. 18/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap over C&D (heavy) 13 days ago. Hard to fancy after that.

Form: 217650

(5)

Ace Rothstein⁹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: M Crawley| OR: 65WS

66/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Below par in 2 outings for Dylan Cunha in July. Has had wind surgery ahead of this first run for a new trainer. Probably best watched.

Form: 6469-96

(12)

Gold Aura^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Jason Hart| T: Jack Jones| OR: 65

10/1

Remains a maiden after 20 starts but knocking on the door on AW this autumn, finishing runner-up 3 times. Just as effective on turf so no reason why she won't be on the premises.

Form: 256222

Rock N Roll Pinkie¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Marco Ghiani| T: I Furtado| OR: 64| CD

9/2

C&D winner in June. Good second of 14 over C&D (heavy) 13 days ago. A must for the shortlist.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: S M Levey| T: M G Rimell| OR: 61

(11)

Wanderlust^v²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 62

9/4

Promising type. 22/1 and visored first time, good third of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) 22 days ago. Up in trip. Should have more to offer. Potentially the final runner for legendary trainer and leading claims.

Form: 5693

(7)

Fen Tiger⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 54

11/1

Form: 724234

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 54

7/2

Winner at Bath (13f, soft) in October. 5/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Southwell (1¾m) 27 days ago. Much respected.

Form: 453312

(3)

Woof^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Aidan Keeley| T: M G Rimell| OR: 53

25/1

22/1 and cheekpieces on first time, good third of 14 in handicap at Redcar (1¼m, heavy) 9 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 0-88933

(9)

Drouthy Neebor²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 48

13/2

Modest maiden. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¾m) 20 days ago.

Form: 075333

Forecasts

Wanderlust (9/4), Letmebetheboss (7/2), Rock N Roll Pinkie (9/2), Drouthy Neebor (13/2), Gold Aura (10/1), Fen Tiger (11/1), Tigerten (16/1), Woof (25/1), Diamand De Vindecy (25/1), Highland Frolic (50/1), Major Major (50/1), Ace Rothstein (66/1)

The step up to 1¾m should play to the strengths of the unexposed WANDERLUST so she's the selection in this finale. Fellow 3-y-o Letmebetheboss is feared most ahead of Rock N Roll Pinkie and Gold Aura.
