Ocean Odyssey^t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Paddy Bradley| T: James Owen| OR: 68

12/1

Latest win at Southwell in August. More miss than hit since and looks to have a bit on at the weights here.

Bystander^t1⁴²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: P Cosgrave| T: S C Williams| OR: 86

7/4

Useful handicapper for Karl Burke in 2024. Changed hands for 27,000gns in May. Has a 14-month absence to overcome but potentially a very classy sort for a seller. Also tongue tied first time.

Form: 748169-

Dosman⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 91

7/2

Useful at best. Good second in 7f handicap on reappearance in June (final start for Roger Varian). Has run 3 shockers for new yard since but this represents a significant drop in grade.

Form: 07-2000

Encourager¹¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 73

50/1

Returned from a long absence to win an AW claimer at Lingfield in May but down the field in 2 handicaps since. Sold out of James Fanshawe's yard for only 1,000 gns in July.

Form: 51/108

Big Sip³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 78

11/8

Fairly useful gelding, winning an AW maiden for Andrew Balding in March. Fair sixth in 11f Southwell handicap for Marco Botti in August and possibly unsuited by soft ground at Sandown since.

Forecasts

Big Sip (11/8), Bystander (7/4), Dosman (7/2), Ocean Odyssey (12/1), Encourager (50/1)

DOSMAN hasn't shown much in 3 outings for Jamie Osborne but is still the one to beat dropping from good-quality handicaps into a seller. Bystander is another with plenty of class for this grade if anything like the force of old after an absence.
