One Word More^h³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: T D Easterby| OR: 89

20/1

On a 23-race losing streak but handicap mark continues to fall. Has run some decent races this season including a close up fifth in the Betfred Mile. Staying on fifth of 10 at Ripon latest. Perennial hold-up horse will hope for fast pace upfront.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: J F Egan| T: P & O Cole| OR: 89| BF| CD

14/1

Twice a winner this season and as consistent as they come. Seems to particularly enjoy this specialist trip and is a C&D winner. Second of four at Yarmouth last time off this mark, this more competitive but always runs his race.

Captain Courageous³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: R Kingscote| T: E Walker| OR: 89

33/1

Won twice at Haydock this season both times on good to firm. Very limited evidence on softer ground and now 5lb higher than last winning mark. Fourth of 12 last time out at Goodwood, handicapper may have his measure for now.

Mon Beau Visage³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 88

25/1

Hat-trick seeker having a fine season overall. Should have few issues with the step up to 1m1f given the way he battled to success over 1m last time out but expected softer ground here is an unknown.

Addeybb⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R L Moore| T: W J Haggas| OR: 93

7/2

Just the four races to date, winning twice. Beaten 2¾L when 3rd of 13 over 1m2f (soft) at Goodwood latest. Previously won over 1m so this trip should be ideal. Open to further improvement, handles soft ground and represents top connections.

Chiefofchiefs^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 88| BF

12/1

Won three times this year but ran uncharacteristically poorly latest when 14th of 16 beaten 10½L as joint-favourite. Capable of better run if bouncing back but unraced on slower than good.

Form: 211340

Afaak²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 92| BF

6/1

Regally bred colt not disgraced despite some tough assignments this season. Staying on fourth of 11 at Ascot over 1m last time suggests worth a try over further for first time. Handles all ground and well capable of a big run here.

Form: 411744

Fire Brigade²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: M L W Bell| OR: 90| C

7/2

All three turf wins have come with cut in the ground so should have conditions to suit. Again ran well when beaten a neck into third of seven on soft at Ascot latest. This first time beyond a mile and now 11lb higher than last winning mark.

Wealth Tax⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 83

66/1

Runs more on AW than turf but a winner on both soft and heavy ground. Almost pulled up when last of six 10 days ago with no obvious reason. Bounced back to win last time he ran poorly but hard not to be concerned by such a run.

Form: 101166

Lawmaking^h³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: L P Keniry| T: H Spiller| OR: 82

25/1

Took a while to find his feet for new trainer but been in good form lately. Won at 20/1 on July course off top weight over 1m (good-to-soft) and last time second of 12 at 25/1 over this trip at Goodwood. Up 2lb here but clearly thriving.

Fire Tree²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: C Fellowes| OR: 81

25/1

Struggled since winning a 1m handicap at Ascot in July. 10th of 12 at Sandown last time beaten 7¾L over 1m. No relief from the handicapper so hard to be enthusiastic.

Daira Prince⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 86

11/1

Won a four-runner race at Leicester last time but now up 6lb and faces a very different test here. Previously disappointed when fourth of five as Evens fav at Yarmouth on soft ground so likely testing conditions a question mark.

Form: 63-2141

Boots And Spurs^v¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: George Buckell⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 81

50/1

Veteran now just 1lb higher than last winning mark and handles most ground. Generally quite consistent but beaten 52L when last of 12 at York earlier in the month and hard to fancy on the back of that.

Form: 834350

Archie²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: Tom Clover| OR: 79| BF

14/1

Not won since debut in 2014 but ran well last time out when 1½L fifth of 12 over 1m at Haydock. Didn't appear to stay 1m2f on July course in 2015 and not ran beyond a 1m since. Generally delivered very late.

Mountain Angel²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| OR: 84| BF

8/1

Second of five at Thirsk over 1m last time as evens favourite and winner that day has won since. Could be well-handicapped off the same mark but not certain he will appreciate this extra furlong.

Form: 212722

Tyrsal^p⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-0| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: C Lines| OR: 65

66/1

9½L ninth of 10 on July course two starts ago at 50/1. Mostly runs in small races at Leicester, Yarmouth and on AW. Hard to see him featuring here.

Forecasts

Addeybb (7/2), Fire Brigade (7/2), Afaak (6/1), Mountain Angel (8/1), Daira Prince (11/1), Chiefofchiefs (12/1), Rotherwick (14/1), Archie (14/1), Palmerston (16/1), One Word More (20/1), Mon Beau Visage (25/1), Lawmaking (25/1), Fire Tree (25/1), Captain Courageous (33/1), Boots And Spurs (50/1), Tyrsal (66/1), Wealth Tax (66/1)

There is lots to like about the unexposed ADDEYBB . He looks tailor made for this trip and could be well ahead of the handicapper. Fire Brigade merits serious respect also given he is 5lb well in and should relish this extra furlong. Also on the shortlist is Afaak who has kept some good company this season yet remains lightly raced.
