Annaf⁷⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Appleby| OR: 110| CD

13/8

C&D winner who wasn't discredited when second of 12 in listed race at Newcastle (6f) 78 days ago, left poorly placed. Holds leading form claims.

Diligent Harry^p¹⁹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: C G Cox| OR: 111| CD

2/1

Smart gelding but he's been off the track since coming in a below-par seventh of 9 in Hackwood Stakes at Newbury (6f) 6 months ago. Took this prize last year though and has won off a break so he can't be discounted.

Marshman¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 105| D

4/1

Off 7 months/gelded before bouncing back to winning ways in 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago. This is tougher but he's still much respected on his first go on polytrack.

Form: 8/2007-1

(5)

Misty Grey¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: D O'Meara| OR: 107| D

18/1

A dual 6f scorer in the summer who resumed from 8 months off with a fading twelfth of 14 to Marshman in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 25/1) 16 days ago, not knocked about. Can take a step forward now.

Form: 22311-0

Mitbaahy²⁰⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: C Hills| OR: 111| DWS

6/1

Smart gelding. Absent since trailing in last of 11 in July Cup at Newmarket (6f) 6 months but has undergone breathing surgery and one to consider in these calmer waters on his polytrack debut.

Form: 1/47170-

Forecasts

Annaf (13/8), Diligent Harry (2/1), Marshman (4/1), Mitbaahy (6/1), Misty Grey (18/1)

ANNAF wasn't seen to ideal effect when runner-up in similar company at Newcastle last time so this C&D winner looks the way to go. Last year's victor Diligent Harry goes well fresh so could emerge as the main danger, although recent Newcastle scorer Marshman and the returning Mitbaahy could also have a say in an open listed sprint.
