Ciara Pearl^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Nicola Currie| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 90| CD

13/2

Useful handicapper who was successful over C&D in May. Ran as well as could be expected in a Yarmouth listed event last time and should be very competitive despite clear top weight.

Crowd Quake^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Tudhope| T: S C Williams| OR: 86| BF| D

11/4

Seven wins in a fantastic season, including Racing League events at Chepstow and Southwell in August. Even better form when narrowly denied at last month's Doncaster St Leger meeting and plenty went wrong for him at Ayr since (almost certainly still in form). Much respected.

Form: 121126

Best Adventure^t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding| OR: 83| D

9/1

Latest win at Sandown in June. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (1½m, good) 21 days ago, with reopposing Crowd Quake ahead in second.

Milteye¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: H Bethell| OR: 77| BF

13/2

Latest win at Carlisle (9f) in September. Good second of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (1m, soft, 2/1) 14 days ago, clear of rest. Back up in trip.

Form: 321312

Dawn Of Liberation¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 77| CD

22/1

Had a good spell at the start of the summer, including a C&D win. Recent efforts don't suggest he's in quite the same form now, though.

Form: 223376

Sir Edward Lear^v¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: George Wood| T: James Owen| OR: 75| D

14/1

Won over this trip at Newmarket in August. Visored first time (retained), creditable third of 9 in handicap at Chester (1½m, good) 19 days ago.

Form: 202813

(7)

Double Red²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: H Candy| OR: 74| CD

6/1

Pair of course wins in April, including this trip, and back to winning ways at Epsom (1¼m, good to soft, 4/1) 21 days ago, readily. Considered back at a venue which suits.

Form: 115381

Nightsinwhitesatin^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Joe Leavy| T: E Bethell| OR: 77| CD

7/1

Won back-to-back handicaps over C&D and at Newbury in August with cheekpieces added but her run of good form came to a halt when only fifth off this mark at Doncaster 18 days ago. Needs to resume her progression.

Form: 823115

Annexation²

Age: 9| Weight: 8-2| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 66| D

7/1

Snapped a losing run in an apprentice race at Bath (1¼m, good to firm) on Tuesday, a strongly-run race playing firmly to his strengths. Respected tunred out quickly under a 4 lb penalty.

Form: 522581

(5)

Woodstock City^p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-2| J: D Fentiman| T: Ian Williams| OR: 64| D

40/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2024 but back to form out of blue when second of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (11f) 8 days ago. Player if turning up in similar form despite being 2 lb out of the weights.

Form: 345762

(9)

Sure And Stedfast³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 68| D

20/1

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (15/2) at Carlisle (9f, good) 31 days ago. Effectively 6 lb higher now (including 2 lb out of handicap) so another improved effort will be needed to follow up.

Form: 481361

Forecasts

Crowd Quake (11/4), Double Red (6/1), Ciara Pearl (13/2), Milteye (13/2), Annexation (7/1), Nightsinwhitesatin (7/1), Best Adventure (9/1), Sir Edward Lear (14/1), Sure And Stedfast (20/1), Dawn Of Liberation (22/1), Woodstock City (40/1)

The thriving CROWD QUAKE had nothing go right at the recent Ayr Western meeting and can show he's still a 4-y-o very much on the up. Recent Epsom scorer Double Red is 2-2 at Nottingham and heads the dangers along with Woodstock City and Tuesday's Bath scorer Annexation.
