Third Time Lucky^h¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 100| CD

10/1

Six time winner but disappointing since winning over an extended 1m here in February. Well beaten at Lingfield last time and more needed if he's to take this contest.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Botti| OR: 98

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: K Shoemark| T: D O'Meara| OR: 98| CD

14/1

Victorious over 1m at Haydock (good) in June but well beaten since and races off a mark 2lb higher than for that most recent victory. Has won three times on the AW in the past.

Form: 210090

Pactolus^h,t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 96| CD

11/2

Eight time winner most recently over C&D in February. Running well of late including when just touched off over 1m2f at Chelmsford last time out and is one to note in this contest.

Form: 489432

Bronze Angel^v³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Tyler Saunders⁽⁷⁾| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 95| D

6/1

Useful individual on his day but relatively lightly raced in recent years. Ran well to finish 1L third off this mark at Leicester (1m, good-to-soft) last time out and he is one for the shortlist today.

Form: 00-8373

(11)

Forceful Appeal¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 95| CD

25/1

Successful 13 times so far including over 1m at Ascot (good-to-firm) in May. Held at a big price on his AW return following a break earlier this month and worth a check in the market today.

Form: 611048

Sands Chorus¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: J G Given| OR: 95| CD

14/1

Victorious five times and put in a career best effort to finish runner-up in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (1m1f, good-to-soft) in September. Disappointing since however.

Form: 026259

Battle Of Marathon⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: J Ryan| OR: 92

33/1

Sole success came over 6f as a two-year-old when with Aidan O'Brien. Returns to handicaps having finished last of 12 in a Listed contest last week.

Mount Tahan⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 91

10/1

Victorious three times most recently over an extended 7f at Beverley (good) in August last year. Well beaten at Newmarket last time out and more needed today.

Form: 3204P0

(9)

Rainbow Rebel⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 87

5/1

Placed on five of his six AW starts so far including over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle last week. Races off the same mark today but this drop in trip isn't certain to suit.

Form: 255342

(4)

Seniority²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas| OR: 90

9/2

Successful over 1m3f at Kempton on his penultimate outing last month. Good effort in finishing third over the same C&D subsequently and is one for the shortlist in this contest.

Form: 0-75313

(6)

Roll On Rory^b²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: J Ward| OR: 85

12/1

Six time winner in a 26 race career most recently over 1m at Newmarket (good-to-soft) at the start of the month. Raised 7lb for that victory and stamina to prove over this trip.

Form: 443241

Forecasts

Seniority (9/2), Rainbow Rebel (5/1), Pactolus (11/2), Bronze Angel (6/1), Mount Tahan (10/1), Primero (10/1), Third Time Lucky (10/1), Kyllachy Gala (12/1), Roll On Rory (12/1), Mythical Madness (14/1), Sands Chorus (14/1), Forceful Appeal (25/1), Battle Of Marathon (33/1)

SENIORITY can register his second win in his last three starts as he drops in trip today. The selection has placed over 1m2f in the past and has the look of a progressive individual for trainer William Haggas. Bronze Angel is poorly drawn today but ran well to finish third last time out and can claim second on this occasion while Pactolus who has run well in recent starts can finish third.
