Plant Pot Power¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 84| BF| D

3/1

Seems best on truly fast ground when racing on turf but enjoys this trip and this seems to be a suitable level of race for him representing a top trainer and well-regarded apprentice.

Form: 823525

(4)

Thomas Cranmer¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83| D

18/1

Useful performer on his day but form has dropped off since the early summer and despite a lower mark now he hasn't shown any signs of an imminent revival.

Form: 065066

(1)

Berkshire Boy^b¹⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 82

9/2

Has never won over this far but seems to stay this trip, not at his best recently and a revival is needed against some much more in-form rivals.

Form: 20-2447

(6)

Redgrave^h¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: C Hills| OR: 80

4/1

Still well beaten when finishing second at Newmarket last time out and has questions to answer off this mark but will enjoy the ground and isn't ruled out.

Form: 513272

(8)

Salt Whistle Bay³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Rae Guest| OR: 78| D

7/2

Hat-trick seeker who didn't look like he was in need of a drop in trip when winning at Newmarket last time out (1m, good to soft), but has shown he has the pace for this distance and is clearly still improving.

Form: 459411

(5)

Another Boy^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: P C O'Donnell⁽⁵⁾| T: R M Beckett| OR: 74| C| D

7/1

Has run into some form recently and has established himself as a specialist at this trip. Proven on the ground and potentially well-handicapped having won off this mark in the past.

Form: 5-40413

(3)

Sarangoo⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 8-8| J: Georgia Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: M S Saunders| OR: 71| CD

20/1

C&D winner who likes this trip and handles all sorts of ground, but has looked held by the handicapper on her recent starts in similar-looking races to this.

Form: 394384

(2)

Mohsen¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: M Dwyer| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 73

12/1

Ran no sort of race on debut but has been running okay in maidens since, this opening handicap mark looks high enough but should have more to offer over this trip.

Form: 4426

Forecasts

Plant Pot Power (3/1), Salt Whistle Bay (7/2), Redgrave (4/1), Berkshire Boy (9/2), Another Boy (7/1), Mohsen (12/1), Thomas Cranmer (18/1), Sarangoo (20/1)

Salt Whistle Bay can't be ruled out on his hat-trick bid but the drop in trip here doesn't seem to be the obvious move and preference is for ANOTHER BOY. Ralph Beckett's gelding has returned to something like his best recently but is still on an attractive handicap mark and is proven on both the ground and over the trip. Plant Pot Power probably wouldn't want any further rain but is also considered on his return to turf.
