Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Adam J McNamara⁽³⁾| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 85| D

12/1

Shaped as if needing run on debut for current yard, and back on track when ½L second of 8 to Beyond Equal at Ffos Las despite a slow start. Again awkwardly away when below form at Salisbury, and that factor remains a concern.

11/2

Good second to Kamra over C&D on penultimate outing, and built on that when winning at Newcastle last time. Back up in the weights, which will require him to do more, but respected in current mood.

Drakefell⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 85

33/1

Won a weak novice at Wolverhampton in March, but handed a stiff mark on the back of that, and struggled to make any impact on handicap bow here after a break recently. Plenty to prove, even if fitter for that outing.

Rose Berry^h⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Irineu Goncalves| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 83| BF| D

8/1

Won off 5lb loweer mark at Lingfield last month, and matched that form when a close second to Lightning Charlie in a C&D handicap last week. Sure to give another good account.

Kasbah²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 83| BF| D

16/1

On a lengthy losing run, and while he got back to form when runner-up at Bath on latest start, he'll need more to score here, and is usually one to oppose for win purposes.

Form: 543262

Indian Tygress¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 82| CD

9/4

Flopped on turf last time, but had impressed when scoring over C&D prior to that, and this lightly-raced filly still looks open to improvement after just a handful of starts. Should bounce back.

The Gates Of Dawn^t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: George Baker| OR: 82

33/1

Blinkered when winning a maiden at Maisons-Laffitte in June, but well held in a couple of handicaps of late, and behind several of these when eighth of 11 over C&D last time, with a tongue tie on for the first time.

Form: 351608

7/1

Finished an excellent third in the Stewards' Sprint at Goodwood in August, but below that form on three starts since. Not disgraced in big field at York last time, and handicapper is cutting him some slack.

Choosey²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Fran Berry| T: H Candy| OR: 81| D

7/1

Left previous form behind when he hacked up at Nottingham in July, but that run is a standout on his record, and he's struggled since taking a big hike in the weights for that success.

Form: 4-51590

Pedestal^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: S Durack| OR: 80

6/1

Third in Windsor Castle Stakes for Aidan O'Brien, and best effort for current yard when neck third of 12 to Redgrave over 7f here last month. Creditable fifth over C&D last time, but had run of the race, and more required to cash in on reduced mark.

The Tin Man's half-sister INDIAN TYGRESS disappointed at Newmarket last time, but remains capable of better and can gain a second C&D win if bouncing back as expected. Rose Berry fared best of a quartet of these who clashed over C&D last week, and she can confirm that form on similar terms, for all she has little to spare over Human Nature on that running.
