Mandurah^h³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: S De Sousa| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 87

7/1

Won on debut and fourth in Group 3 last year, but well below form this season, seventh of 9 in 6f handicap at Yarmouth (12/1) 30 days ago when slowly into stride in first-time hood. Return to 7f on switch to AW might help now.

Form: 146-097

Arctic Grey²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 86

6/1

Won a Goodwood handicap in May but has been inconsistent since, finishing 11th of 14 in handicap at Ayr (18/1) 26 days ago when running poorly on soft ground. May need to settle better but did win on only other go on AW.

Woroodd²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: E Walker| OR: 84| D

3/1

Won twice on turf over 7f earlier this season but finished last of 15 in a handicap at Newbury (7/1) 26 days ago, shaped as if amiss. AW debut.

Morte Point³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 82| D

11/4

Thriving at 7f with a win at Newbury followed by a strong run at Doncaster, finding only one too good when second of 16 in handicap (17/2) 32 days ago, led under 3f out but headed final 50 yards to be beaten ¾-length. Big player if proving effectiveness on AW.

Form: 8-04212

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 81

12/1

Placed in 3 consecutive handicaps before finishing sixth of 15 in handicap at Newbury (33/1) 26 days ago when too free upped in trip. First-time hood today.

The Third Star⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 81| D

33/1

Won a 7f Southwell maiden in April and competed in better races, ninth of 10 in listed race at Pontefract (40/1) 60 days ago, took keen hold and soon beaten. Needs to settle down.

The Quiet Gent^b²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 80

9/2

Ran well when second in handicap at Kempton (3/1) with blinkers 43 days ago but finished eighth of 11 in handicap at same course (5/1) 22 days ago when slowly into stride. Wouldn't dismiss.

Form: 607238

Fire Flame^h¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 77| D

11/1

Won a 7f handicap at Thirsk (10/1) when fitted with a hood in August. Sixth of 13 in 8f handicap at Yarmouth (11/1) 10 days ago, travelled well but left with too much to do after meeting trouble. One to consider.

Form: 0-68166

Victory Sound^b1⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Paddy Bradley| T: M D I Usher| OR: 75| DWS

100/1

Poor form this year, finishing last of 6 in a handicap at Newmarket (80/1) 68 days ago. Has had a breathing operation and first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Form: 602-996

(7)

Griselda¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 70

100/1

Three-time 6f turf winner for George Scott in 2024. Has yet to fire in 2025, finishing last of 13 in handicap at Kempton (66/1) 15 days ago on first run for new stable.

Forecasts

Morte Point (11/4), Woroodd (3/1), The Quiet Gent (9/2), Arctic Grey (6/1), Mandurah (7/1), Fire Flame (11/1), Lord Roxby (12/1), The Third Star (33/1), Griselda (100/1), Victory Sound (100/1)

MORTE POINT has been thriving at 7f, winning at Newbury before an excellent Doncaster second when headed only in the final strides. He remains unexposed and looks ready to strike again. Fire Flame won well at Thirsk in August and was unlucky when meeting trouble at Yarmouth recently. He's a big player, while Arctic Grey could figure returned to AW.
