Zihaam^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 70

14/1

Trying a new trip on AW debut. Both previous successes have come on stiffer tracks than this so he has plenty of questions to answer.

Form: 825225

Graceful Lady¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 69| C| D

12/1

Has appeared to be running into form recently and she did well to get as close as she did last time as she was held up in a falsely run race

Form: 445563

Rossetti^h²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-10| J: S W Kelly| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 66

25/1

Credit to his trainer, as he has his quirks, and while he wasn't disgraced last time, he had the run of things, and his last Flat win outside of the Channel Islands was five years ago.

Form: F217/9-8

Enmeshing³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 64

10/1

Scored under this rider of this mark over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in June. The second, third and fourth had their BHA ratings downgraded subsequently and he has found things a lot tougher since.

With Hindsight²⁰⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: S Gollings| OR: 61| CD

40/1

C&D winner off the track since February and whose recent record indicates he is better in lower grades than this.

Form: 328-210

Special Mission^v¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 69| BF

15/8

Nine-race maiden tackles a new trip. That should help considerably given the way she has been staying on in recent outings.

Form: 724432

Gripper^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett| OR: 68| CD

5/2

Had been having his attitude questioned prior to opening his account over C&D in a three-runner affair in first-time blinkers. Handicapper obviously not impressed with the performance and he is in a much better race here.

Form: 926531

(4)

Knight Commander^t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: S Flook| OR: 60

33/1

Poor over hurdles on stable debut two weeks ago and he is a 17-race maiden on the Flat. His best AW effort came here over 2m but others make more appeal.

Form: 3565/3-0

(6)

Seinesational^b¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: M Harley| T: W J Knight| OR: 67

4/1

Back-to-back wins at Windsor and Brighton in June, but went up the weights and he has not looked straightforward under pressure on occasions since.

Form: 114344

(2)

Racing Knight¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: N Mackay| T: P D Evans| OR: 52

20/1

Shaped a lot better last time but he remains below his best and as a 13-race maiden he has a lot to prove.

Form: 0533/77

Forecasts

Special Mission (15/8), Gripper (5/2), Seinesational (4/1), Enmeshing (10/1), Graceful Lady (12/1), Zihaam (14/1), Racing Knight (20/1), Rossetti (25/1), Knight Commander (33/1), With Hindsight (40/1)

GRACEFUL LADY picked up four races in 2017 and revealed she was on the way back to form at Kempton last time when held up in a muddling race and failing to get a clear run. There are a couple in here who like to press on and the race should set up nicely for her. Special Mission is feared now stepping up in trip, but Gripper has more to than when making all here last time.
