Autumn's Breeze^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 61| C

4/7

Confirmed the promise of her Kempton run when off the mark in 7-runner handicap here over 2m (3/1) 7 days ago, cheekpieces possibly adding an edge as she quickened clear. Up 7 lb but she's very much going the right way.

Form: 792-741

Night Horn^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Michael Keady| OR: 57

7/1

Winless after 11 starts but turned in season's best effort when fourth of 8 in 12f handicap at Musselburgh (12/1) 18 days ago, leading until headed inside final furlong. Repeat of that will see him bang there from the same mark.

Form: 5-84764

(5)

Fram Castle⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 56

9/2

Won a 2m handicap at Kempton in June and followed it with a good second over same track and trip. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Ffos Las (2/1) 40 days ago was another respectable effort for all he never threatened the leaders.

Form: 8-30125

Pomeriggio⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 52

25/1

Losing run dates back to 2023. Heavy defeat on stable debut on thew AW in February but has displayed an aptitude for hurdling since, albeit at a modest level. Up in trip.

Form: 0999-08

(2)

Certain Style³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carson| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 45

16/1

Form has deteriorated since AW win here in November, finishing ninth of 10 in handicap at Epsom (12f) on turf (9/1) 38 days ago.

Form: 416-409

(3)

Sydney Whistler^p1⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J S Moore| OR: 48

28/1

First form when second of 4 in AW handicap (85/40) in February but little to recommend him since. Hopes rest on first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 0-27597

(4)

Casual Encounter³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: F Brennan| OR: 46| BF

12/1

Little in the way of worthwhile form and expensive to follow with it, fifth of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (5/4) 38 days ago. First run for new trainer having left Andrew Balding.

Form: 959-535

Forecasts

Autumn's Breeze (4/7), Fram Castle (9/2), Night Horn (7/1), Casual Encounter (12/1), Certain Style (16/1), Pomeriggio (25/1), Sydney Whistler (28/1)

AUTUMN'S BREEZE confirmed the promise of her recent efforts when scoring impressively at this course 7 days ago, and despite the drop in trip, this improving filly can follow up. Night Horn has been showing signs of hitting form and his front-running effort at Musselburgh suggests he's ready to play a role. Fram Castle, a winner at Kempton in June, is also of some interest.
