Hierarchy^b,t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 72| D

7/1

Latest win at Southwell in July. Poorly placed when 4¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Starproof in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, good, 9/2) 31 days ago. Remains with handicapping scope but run style tends to require plenty to drop right.

Arnaz^t⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: E Walker| OR: 72| BF

2/1

Probably unlucky not to get his head in front this season and ran creditably again when third of 9 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good, 15/8) 49 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 0-20343

Dashing Harry^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: James Horton| OR: 71| CD

25/1

C&D winner in April but has turned in 3 poor performances since and cheekpieces now go on back on this temperamental sort.

Count Otto^b,h¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Watson| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 71| CD

14/1

Good second of 8 in AW handicap at Lingfield (50/1) on penultimate start but not in same form when last of 6 in handicap (11/1) at Epsom (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Likely playing for minor honours.

Form: 76-6426

Dapper Valley^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley| T: James Owen| OR: 70

10/3

Yet to really fire this season and didn't fare much better starting out for a new yard when ninth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has work to do.

Form: 959839

Holy Fire^p²¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽⁵⁾| T: C Fellowes| OR: 68| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. 15/2, reportedly bled when fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D. Best watched after 7 months off.

Form: 07450-5

Dapperling¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 68| D

28/1

Won at Goodwood in June but increasingly slow starts have become a major issue and she didn't beat a rival there (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Best treated with caution.

Form: 136760

(7)

Starproof²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 67| D

13/2

Latest win at Ffos Las in August. 4/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 21 days ago. Place claims at least again.

Form: 8-57714

(2)

The Organiser^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: T E Whelan| T: M Pattinson| OR: 67| D

7/1

Latest win at Southwell in March. Yet to really fire for current connections, though did too much too soon when fifth of 7 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Makes polytrack debut.

Form: 0-15965

Forecasts

Arnaz (2/1), Dapper Valley (10/3), Infinity Blue (5/1), Starproof (13/2), Hierarchy (7/1), The Organiser (7/1), Holy Fire (10/1), Count Otto (14/1), Dashing Harry (25/1), Dapperling (28/1)

Not much depth to this race so ARNAZ is taken to record a deserved first win of the season after once again reaching the podium at Haydock last time. Hierarchy remains on a handy mark and wasn't seen to best effect at Ffos Las last time, so is shortlisted alongside Starproof, the winner of that contest.
