Powdering¹⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Joanna Mason| T: M Herrington| OR: 79| D

40/1

Three wins from 11 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (6/1) at Kempton (6f) 16 days ago but a 5 lb penalty means he'll need another one here.

Form: 309451

Musical Touch^p1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 83| BF| D

20/1

Plenty of good efforts this year, including a Thirsk win in April, but he ran poorly when well behind Eternal Sunshine back at Thirsk last time. First-time cheekpieces go on.

Form: 263460

(9)

Territorial Knight¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 85| D

11/1

Boasts solid 6f form, including a win at Doncaster and close second at Carlisle on his last 2 outings. Possible this 3-y-o could have more to offer. Respected.

Form: 366312

(3)

Mostar Dreams¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 83| D

5/1

Latest win at Haydock (7f, good to firm) in August. Another good effort there (7f again) when third of 11 latest. Just as effective at 6f.

Form: 840183

(13)

Moonstone Boy^p1⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 83

25/1

Latest win at Carlisle (5f, soft) in May. 22/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good) 5 days ago, merely closing up late. First-time cheekpieces replace blinkers. Return to softer ground may help.

Form: 150009

(8)

Bright²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 82| D

25/1

Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 15/2) 29 days ago, shaping as if he'll be suited by this return to 6f.

Form: 388525

(16)

Woven^p¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: M Dods| OR: 82| D

28/1

7¼ lengths twelfth of 16 to Eternal Sunshine in handicap (25/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) 13 days ago, not clear run. Cheekpieces back on. Now 2 lb below the mark he defied at Haydock last autumn.

Form: 40-9060

(22)

Manila Scouse^t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 82| D

28/1

Capitalised on a falling mark at Thirsk in July and has remained in form, finishing 3 lengths seventh of 16 to Eternal Sunshine back there (6f, good to soft, 20/1) 13 days ago. The yard does well in this race.

Eternal Sunshine⁶^{(ex 8)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Lauren Young⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 74| CD

3/1

Winner at this meeting last year and arrives in great form again, having completed a hat-trick (all under Lauren Young) since the end of August. The third leg came in last weekend's Portland at Doncaster and she's 2 lb lower this afternoon. Obvious claims.

Form: 220111

(5)

Wobwobwob^v⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: O McSweeney| T: A Keatley| OR: 81| CD

15/2

Won the Silver Cup in 2023. Back in form when runner-up on last 2 starts (C&D first occasion) and should give another good account.

Form: 0-00522

(6)

Jonny Concrete^b1⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 81| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Musselburgh in April. Ninth of 13 in handicap (10/1) at Thirsk (7f, good) 48 days ago. Change of headgear (first-time blinkers for cheekpieces) needs to give him a lift.

Form: 1-12279

(20)

Bosh^v1²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 81| D

50/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2024. Respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (6f, 11/2) 22 days ago. Has seemed to be going through the motions so today's first-time headgear is well worth a go.

Form: 700488

(12)

Mister Sox^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80| D

22/1

Four-time winner this year. Latest win at Ripon in August. Shaped well when length fourth of 16 to Eternal Sunshine in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) 13 days ago, faring best of those held up. Player for yard with strong record in this.

25/1

Latest win at Hamilton (5f) in June. Thirteenth of 16 in handicap (9/1) at Ascot (5f, good) 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort. 6f winner earlier in career.

Form: 762100

(14)

Winged Messenger^h,p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 80| D

Form: 221213

Kelpie Grey³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Mark Winn| T: J S Goldie| OR: 79| C

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 79| D

50/1

Irish Nectar^b⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 78| D

20/1

Blinkered first time (retained), back on form when fourth of 15 in handicap (10/1) at Doncaster (6f, good) last Friday. Has a solid record on going softer than good. No surprise were he to go well.

Form: 290504

(18)

Arabian Cobra^v²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: H Palmer| OR: 80| D

40/1

Back-to-back 6f wins in June. Fine third on next 2 starts (including C&D) but his run of good form came to a halt at Chester last time.

Form: 211336

(19)

Fortamour³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: B Haslam| OR: 78| D

66/1

9/2, not seen to best effect (caught wider than ideal) when below-form ninth of 15 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 34 days ago but have to go back 5 years for the last time he won away from Ripon.

Form: 323049

(23)

Beyond Borders^h1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Oliver Stammers| T: K Frost| OR: 78| D

Form: 801780

(24)

Top Juggler¹⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 75| D

40/1

Better than ever when edging out Territorial Knight to make a winning start for the Seb Spencer yard at Carlisle (6f, good) 18 days ago but he's not weighted to confirm those placings under a 5 lb penalty.

Form: 8-43201

(25)

Azure Zain³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Egan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 79| D

ETERNAL SUNSHINE and Lauren Young have got on a roll together in recent weeks and they might be good be for another win as this thriving mare is able to run off 2 lb below the mark she defied in last Saturday's Portland. Tim Easterby has a good record in Ayr Gold Cup consolation races and Mister Sox is second choice after catching the eye behind the selection at Thirsk on his latest start. Improving 3-y-o Territorial Knight and 2023 Silver Cup winner Wobwobwob complete the shortlist.
