Suzi's Connoisseur^v¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 72

7/1

No doubting his talent, but looks increasingly hard to win with these days despite getting plenty of help from the handicapper, and cannot be backed with any great confidence as a result.

Form: 645579

(5)

Rhigolter Rose⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 71| CD

9/1

Landed a minor contest over C&D in July and put a couple or ordinary runs behind her when second at Thirsk last time under this promising claimer. Runs off the same mark and represents a top stable.

Form: 8-31442

Sheila's Treat²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 68| D

12/1

Prolific on dirt in Greece, but yet to offer a great deal in two starts since returning to these shores, and remains opposable despite tumbling in the weights.

Form: 690/157

Oswald^e/s1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: G Mosse| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 70

11/2

Now 5lb lower than when second at Windsor in May at this trip, and not been doing an awful lot wrong on turf since. Should strip fitter for a run in amateur company at Newmarket last month, and interesting in first-time eyeshields.

Form: 352765

Spinart¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Fahy| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 67| C

6/1

Justified market confidence to open his account over 7f here in August, and given a bit too much to do when fourth over extended 1m at Wolverhampton since. Still fairly treated, and shortlisted.

Form: 233514

Oud Metha Bridge¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 66| D

10/1

In good form earlier in the season, but last couple of efforts have been poor, and he needs to bounce back.

Form: 233300

Faithful Promise^b⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 68| C

10/1

Inconsistent sort who won narrowly over 6f here last month, but followed that with a poor run at Kempton, and has stamina to prove for this longer trip.

Form: 373419

(2)

Pinchpoint^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J F Egan| T: J Butler| OR: 67

25/1

Has shown ability on all three starts, his best effort when fourth to Collide at Carlisle last month. Made running when below form last time, and handicapper has erred on side of caution with opening mark.

Form: 446

Directory²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 67| D

16/1

In good form on Polytrack of late, winning at Kempton in July, and placed off current mark on both subsequent starts there, all over 1m. Needs to prove he's as good on turf, but every chance that is the case.

Form: 286133

(13)

Para Mio¹⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: M Harley| T: S Durack| OR: 67WS

7/2

Has an excellent pedigree, and split subsequent winners when fourth to Herculean on debut at Ascot last year. Yet to build on that, but had wind surgery prior to return, and on a tempting mark starting out in handicaps after a break.

Form: 49-8

(7)

Luna Magic⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Joey Haynes| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 62| CD

14/1

Won over C&D in April and bounced back to form when going close over further here in August. Bit below form last time, but could well bounce back at her favoured venue.

Form: 516427

Lucky's Dream⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 59

50/1

Yard in great form, but this son of owner's Yorgunnabelucky has a mixed pedigree, and made an inauspicious debut for the stable when last of 15 at Newmarket in August, although did have the excuse of a slipped saddle.

Form: 0740-0

Forecasts

Para Mio (7/2), Oswald (11/2), Spinart (6/1), Suzi's Connoisseur (7/1), Rhigolter Rose (9/1), Oud Metha Bridge (10/1), Faithful Promise (10/1), Sheila's Treat (12/1), Angel's Whisper (12/1), Luna Magic (14/1), Directory (16/1), Pinchpoint (25/1), Lucky's Dream (50/1)

Rhigolter Rose bounced back to form when second at Thirsk last time, and deserves to head the market off the same mark, but preference is for the potentially well-treated PARA MIO, whose debut effort was full of promise, and who has been given a break prior to this handicap debut. Oswald hails from a yard which does well with first-time headgear, and he should be cherry-ripe after returning from a break in amateur company at Newmarket.
