Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: K R Burke| OR: 105| D

6/5

Smart colt. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner conditions stakes at Kempton (6f, 4/1) 45 days ago with a bit in hand. Very much one to consider.

Willem Twee⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 108| BF| D

14/1

Smart gelding. Latest win at Wolverhampton in August. 9½ lengths seventh of 8 to Night Raider in conditions stakes (evens) at Kempton (6f) 45 days ago. Can make presence felt in his bid to follow up last year's win here.

Form: 1-39317

Wiltshire^t1⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: W J Haggas| OR: 105| CD

Azure Angel⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 89| CD

20/1

Useful filly. C&D winner. 6/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 42 days ago, not ideally placed. Plenty to find on form here, however.

Pink Crystal^t³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: A J Farragher| T: W J Haggas| OR: 94| D

50/1

Useful mare. 16/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, 5½ lengths ninth of 11 to Rage of Bamby in listed race at Newmarket (6f, soft) 35 days ago. Uphill task.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: M L W Bell| OR: 90| D

100/1

Useful filly. 3/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 31 days ago, kept up to work. Very hard to make a case for in this company though.

Form: 166601

Staincliff^t1⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Bass| T: J Channon| OR: 95| BF| CD

28/1

Forecasts

Night Raider (6/5), Annaf (10/3), Wiltshire (5/1), Albasheer (12/1), Willem Twee (14/1), Azure Angel (20/1), Orne (20/1), Significantly (20/1), Staincliff (28/1), Saint Lawrence (28/1), Golden Mind (40/1), Pink Crystal (50/1), Queen's Guard (100/1)

Lots with chances and Mick Appleby's smart ANNAF could prove the answer now he has his sights lowered following a solid run in Ascot's Champion Sprint last time out. Willem Twee is another with the form to have a say and heads the list of dangers ahead of Significantly and Wiltshire. Albasheer completes the shortlist.
