Royal Velvet³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: W Buick| T: W J Knight| OR: 91| C

4/1

Dual winner on the Rowley course this season and bounced back from a disappointing run here with a career-best performance to win an 18-runner handicap at York (7f) 35 days ago. That form is working out well and a truly-run 6f could suit. Solid claims to make it 3-3 under William Buick

Form: 153181

Angel Shared³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 86| D

11/1

Arrives in top form having made all in a trio of July course handicaps on last 3 starts, the latest in typically gutsy fashion when winning by a nose 34 days ago (Arabian Leopard back in third). Only 2 lb higher in her bid for the 4-timer and she should hold her own in a deeper event.

Form: 305111

Cinque Verde⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 85| D

18/1

Recorded a ninth career success when landing a 6f handicap on the July course last month (solid form) and ran respectably when fourth behind some younger rivals in a 9-runner handicap at Yarmouth (6f) 9 days ago. May again prove vulnerable to less exposed types.

Jumbeau²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: Tom Clover| OR: 85

20/1

Plenty of creditable efforts in sprint handicaps this season. A tad fortunate to win at Lingfield (5f, good) last month and having been pitched in too deep at York, bounced back to form with cheekpieces refitted (now removed) when third on the all-weather last time. More needed in a better race.

Harvanna⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Appleby| OR: 85

10/1

Has fallen below the mark she won off at Doncaster last season and nearly capitalised when a close second at Chester (5.5f) in July. Not seen to best effect (stumbled early and struggling when hampered final furlong) at Goodwood later that month. On a fair mark but this looks competitive.

Form: 42-7526

(5)

Powdering⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: M Herrington| OR: 83| C| D

12/1

Well-suited by a good pace when scoring at Kempton (6f) earlier this month but finished well held in the Bronze Gold Cup at Ayr (soft) 6 days ago. However she's proven herself at this track and could be more competitive reunited with Billy Loughnane in a race that should be run to suit.

Shallow³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer| OR: 81| D

5/1

4-time winner on AW who proved as good as ever when narrowly getting the better of Arabian Leopard on the July course (6f) and was still in good heart when fourth behind Royal Velvet at York (7f) last month, shaping as though a return to sprinting would help. Respected back over 6f.

Form: 304194

(9)

Lady Roxby⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J Mitchell| T: M Herrington| OR: 82

7/2

Much improved for new yard this season, solid form when chasing home an improver at York (5.4f) in July. Proved better than ever on just her second start over this trip when narrowly denied by a better-positioned winner at Yarmouth 9 days ago. Looks to be a 3-y-o sprinter on the up.

Form: 6-21202

Hurt You Never²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 79| D

80/1

Winner of back-to-back 5f handicaps over the summer but has struggled from marks in the 80s since, for all she wasn't disgraced when sixth in an 8-runner handicap at Catterick (5f) last month, not helping her cause by hanging right. Handicapper has provided some respite, but she may need more.

Form: 531106

(4)

Arabian Leopard³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: D M Simcock| OR: 80| BF| C

4/1

Improved to win 7f handicap on this course in May and plenty of positives in trio of runs over 6f since, just denied by Shallow in July and only 1 length behind Angel Shared last month, having been held up on a day where front-runners were favoured. Should go well over a strongly run 6f.

Form: 120233

(2)

My Awele¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: C Allen| OR: 72| BF| D

12/1

Aided by a solid pace when capitalising on a falling mark at Leicester (6f) in July and turned in her best effort of the season when runner-up over the same C&D 16 days ago, pulling clear with another in-form rival. In much deeper waters but should be suited by this test.

Forecasts

Lady Roxby (7/2), Arabian Leopard (4/1), Royal Velvet (4/1), Shallow (5/1), Harvanna (10/1), Angel Shared (11/1), Powdering (12/1), My Awele (12/1), Cinque Verde (18/1), Jumbeau (20/1), Hurt You Never (80/1)

A tight handicap and plenty of these have met before. 3-y-o sprinter LADY ROXBY shaped well when posting a career-best to finish a narrow second at Yarmouth 9 days ago and she's fancied to improve again. Chief danger is dual course winner Royal Velvet who resumed her progress when making it 2-2 under William Buick at York. That form is working out well and she should appreciate a strongly-run 6f at this track, while Arabian Leopard is 1-1 on this course and may find this race run to suit.
