Inlet^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: Rae Guest| OR: 58

11/2

Has shown promise in staying handicaps, finishing second twice in her last five starts. Ran well when second of 13 in handicap over 15.8f at Lingfield (15/2) 9 days ago, not getting a clear run in the straight. Surely capable of winning something similar with a fair shake of the dice.

Young Endless^v²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: K Frost| OR: 58

10/3

Four-time winner who's better on AW than turf but returned to form when third of 6 in handicap at Redcar (11/1) 21 days ago. Visor back on and should be in the mix on return to AW surface.

Form: 341603

Night Horn^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Finley Marsh| T: Michael Keady| OR: 56

11/1

Turned in best effort of season when fourth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (12/1) 39 days ago but ran poorly when sixth of 7 at Lingfield (7/1), weakening over 2f out, 21 days ago. Will need to recapture earlier form to figure here.

Form: 847646

Mrs Meader⁶⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁵⁾| T: J & S Birkett| OR: 52

40/1

One creditable effort this season at Southwell in April but otherwise out of form, finishing eighth of 12 in 10f handicap at Newcastle (16/1) 64 days ago when steadied at start and never dangerous. Step back up in trip needs to bring about improvement.

Form: 80-6488

(2)

Belaya River¹⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Cosgrave| T: C Fellowes| OR: 59

4/1

Lightly-raced and has some quality in his pedigree but shown little in three starts, finishing 13th of 16 in maiden over 8f at Chelmsford (150/1) 100 days ago. Has been gelded and may improve now handicapping over a significantly longer trip for in-form yard.

Form: 480

(4)

Arenas Del Tiempo²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Dylan Hogan| T: J & S Best| OR: 50

7/1

Returned to form in last three Flat races. Fourth of 12 in handicap over 12f at Lingfield (11/1) 26 days ago, kept handier than previously and ran well from a falling mark. On a long losing run but ought to be competitive again returning to AW on a career-low mark.

Form: 948554

(5)

Hamdani Cruiser^p1³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: James Horton| OR: 57

18/1

Modest performer in 6 career starts, most recently 6th of 8 in AW handicap at Southwell (12/1) 33 days ago, beaten 3 lengths, would have preferred stronger gallop. Handicapper has cut him some slack and first-time cheekpieces may help over this longer trip.

Form: 849-606

(1)

Grand Harbour^b1³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 55

5/2

Has run creditably in 12f handicaps, including a second at Ripon and third at Salisbury in July. Finished last of 6 in a 11.8f handicap at Leicester (7/2) 31 days ago, running below form. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces and could bounce back for the step up to 13f.

Form: 053236

Forecasts

Grand Harbour (5/2), Young Endless (10/3), Belaya River (4/1), Inlet (11/2), Arenas Del Tiempo (7/1), Night Horn (11/1), Hamdani Cruiser (18/1), Mrs Meader (40/1)

INLET ran well when second over a longer trip at Lingfield recently despite not getting a clear run and looks up to winning a race of this nature if things fall right. Belaya River could be the improver for an in-form yard now upped in trip on handicap debut having been gelded. Of the rest, Grand Harbour could be worth another chance up in trip, while Hamandi Cruiser has been given more of a chance by the handicapper and may prove more competitive over a longer distance in first-time headgear.
