Enemy^t¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Ian Williams| OR: 95

14/1

Winless since early 2024 and cheekpieces on for 1st time when well beaten in the Ebor here (13.8f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Has something to prove.

Form: 66-0660

(6)

Fireblade¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D Egan| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 90| D

11/2

A dual winner for his current yard, latest at Ascot in August. Not disgraced when ninth of 13 in handicap over C&D 18 days ago so needs considering in easier race.

Form: 722319

(9)

Scottish Anthem^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Michael Keady| OR: 85

40/1

Irresolute performer who came in last of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, firm) 24 days ago. Back up in trip with work to do.

Form: 54-5349

(7)

Artisan Dancer¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 83| BF| D

5/2

Scored at Ripon in April and has continued in good nick, second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 10 days ago. This reliable sort must enter calculations.

Form: 307322

(8)

Ribble Vibe¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara| OR: 82

18/1

A fairly useful 9.5f winner for Andre Fabre in 2023. Shaping up nicely for present yard until only seventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 17 days ago. Not written off stepping up in trip.

Form: 65-5327

(1)

Gibside⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 81| CD

25/1

C&D winner but he comes here out of sorts, a well-beaten seventh of 10 to Terrorise in handicap over C&D 57 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 281307

(2)

Umbria²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 80

5/1

Running well without winning this season, fourth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (14f, good) 22 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts again.

Form: 1-39524

(10)

Rock N Roll Pinkie¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: H Crouch| T: I Furtado| OR: 80| CD

13/2

Bagged a second success of 2025 over C&D in July but only eighth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 17 days ago. The sort to bounce back though.

Form: 351318

(5)

Diamond Bay^v1¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Jim Crowley| T: T Ward| OR: 80| C| D

13/2

Course winner who arrives in very good nick, a rallying third of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (14f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Visor replaces cheekpieces. Big shout off an unchanged mark with this return to 2m a likely plus.

Form: 170843

(3)

Terrorise^p1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 78| CD

9/1

Resumed winning ways over C&D in July but just tenth of 13 in handicap back over C&D 18 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.

Form: 049-510

Forecasts

Artisan Dancer (5/2), Umbria (5/1), Fireblade (11/2), Rock N Roll Pinkie (13/2), Diamond Bay (13/2), Terrorise (9/1), Enemy (14/1), Ribble Vibe (18/1), Gibside (25/1), Scottish Anthem (40/1)

This could go the way of DIAMOND BAY who has winning form at the track and shaped as though this return to 2m would suit when a good recent third at Goodwood. The consistent Artisan Dancer is next on the list ahead of in-form duo Umbria and Fireblade.
