Hitched^h¹¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: L Morris| T: D M Simcock| OR: 79| CD

16/1

Four-time course winner, the latest gained in April. Respectable third of 9 in handicap (20/1) at Chelmsford (8f), running on. Place possibilities if fully tuned-up following a break.

Form: 654153

Spirit Of Leros^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: M Botti| OR: 81

15/2

6/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 21 days ago, not much room. Went close on penultimate start at Kempton and he will be a danger all if reproducing that form.

Form: 327828

(7)

Saxonia^p³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C Johnston| OR: 79| D

7/2

Four wins from 16 runs this year. 7/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to soft) 30 days ago. 3 lb rise tolerable and couldn't rule out here with Oisin Murphy booked.

Form: 442121

North View¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 76

11/2

Eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 17/2) 16 days ago. Back down in trip and would have a leading chance if in the same form as when third of 13 off a 2 lb higher mark at Kempton in August.

Form: 796348

Arctician¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Dow| OR: 75| CD

10/1

C&D winner in September when proving ¾-length too good for Saxonia and now meets that rival on 2 lb better terms. 14/1, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 13 days ago. Should make his presence felt.

Orbaan^p,t¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: J F Egan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| D

33/1

Latest win at Beverley in July. 28/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good) 16 days ago. Back down in trip and cheekpieces back on. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 145348

Bella Perla²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 77

4/1

Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Southwell in September. 11/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Something to find on form.

Form: 6419

Brave Byreflection⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 76

40/1

Latest win at Chepstow in July. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 10/1) 8 days ago, badly hampered. Likely to find a few too good here, too.

Form: 531070

Winston's Warrior^b³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C Hills| OR: 76| D

11/2

Blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 9-runner handicap (11/2) at Kempton (8f) 39 days ago by short head from Spirit of Leros (1 lb pull), very much having run of race. This looks more demanding up 3 lb.

Form: 292651

(5)

Annsar⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 76| C

22/1

Course winner. Latest win here in April. Last of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 12/1) 42 days ago and others look more solid on this occasion.

Form: 108640

Happy Banner^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: E Walker| OR: 72| BF

8/1

3/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 13 days ago. Probably worth taking on, for all that he's feasibly treated judged on his 2-y-o exploits.

Form: 1-65378

Forecasts

Saxonia (7/2), Bella Perla (4/1), North View (11/2), Winston's Warrior (11/2), Spirit Of Leros (15/2), Happy Banner (8/1), Arctician (10/1), Hitched (16/1), Annsar (22/1), Orbaan (33/1), Brave Byreflection (40/1)

A chance is taken on NORTH VIEW, who is on a good mark judged on his Kempton third three starts back and while he's failed to build on that since, it could be that this return to polytrack (placed on 3 of his 4 previous runs on this surface) will work the oracle. Arctician and Saxonia may emerge as the main dangers, while Spirit of Leros would also have a fighting chance if on-song.
