Selected odds by:

(13)

Vince Lombardi^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 65| CD

6/1, improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, well positioned. Up 3 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood.

Form: 567401

(6)

Orbital Chime^b²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Darragh Keenan| T: K Scott| OR: 64| D

Below-par sixth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, soft, 22/1) 24 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkers back on. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.

Form: 592806

(2)

Daytona Lady^p²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 64| CD

C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. Below-par seventh of 13 in handicap (15/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 26 days ago. Unreliable type.

Form: 328037

(1)

Flowstate^v⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: D O'Meara| OR: 64| D

Latest win at Catterick in August. 5/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good) 8 days ago. In the mix again.

Form: 155282

(4)

Francis Drake^p,t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 65| D

Winner at Kempton in August. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and seemed unsuited by the track when fifth of 6 in handicap (11/2) at Brighton (5.3f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Expected to be bang there off a handy-looking mark.

Form: 051255

(12)

Valsharah^p1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Watson| T: C Hills| OR: 64

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 16/1, too free when sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for the first time now and could bounce back.

Form: 562736

(3)

Sioux Warrior¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carson| T: A Wintle| OR: 63

4/1, respectable ¾-length third of 8 to Vince Lombardi in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 330983

(7)

Macarone^p⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: I Furtado| OR: 62| CD

1 win from 2 runs this year. 9/4, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D 53 days ago, driven out. Cheekpieces back on and firmly in the picture.

Form: 5896-21

(10)

Hallowed Time^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonny Peate| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 62| D

Took a step forward when fourth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft, 28/1) 26 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Form: 95-6284

(9)

Be An Angel²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman| OR: 63| D

16/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 052630

(5)

Carlton And Co^v¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 60| D

Won 8-runner handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good, 11/4) 12 days ago, driven out. Needs considering despite taking a 3 lb weights rise.

Form: 413641

(8)

Ballsgrove Boy¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tyler Heard| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 60| CD

C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Not seen to best effect when seventh of 8 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Shortlisted.

Form: 109577

(11)

Initial Blue^p³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 60| BF| D

Fair fourth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 31 days ago. Not discounted from a slipping mark.

Form: 890344

Forecasts

Carlton And Co (3/1), Vince Lombardi (7/2), Macarone (4/1), Flowstate (11/2), Sioux Warrior (8/1), Initial Blue (14/1), Valsharah (16/1), Francis Drake (20/1), Hallowed Time (25/1), Ballsgrove Boy (33/1), Daytona Lady (33/1), Orbital Chime (33/1), Be An Angel (33/1)

This is wide open so it could be worth siding with FRANCIS DRAKE to bounce back from his Brighton fifth when he looked ill at ease on the track and capitalise on a lenient mark. Sioux Warrior is also weighted to go well and heads a long list of dangers, while Hallowed Time, Macarone and Vince Lombardi all need factoring in too.
