Awake My Soul²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: T P Tate| OR: 94| CD

9/2

Loves cut in the ground as he showed when returning to form in style at York last month. More to do off 5lb higher, but cannot be ruled out in bid to repeat last year's success in this race.

Form: 1-46231

Piece Of History²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 94

7/2

Lightly-raced and promising colt who has raced only five times, winning on the first two occasions. Still feeling his way in handicap company, but ran well off 5lb lower at Kempton last time and has to be considered stepped up in trip.

Form: 11542

Mukhayyam^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Robert Dodsworth⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 89| D

14/1

Chester winner in September and only 1lb higher. Last two runs have been underwhelming, though, and a return to form is needed.

Form: 463195

Mooltazem⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 89| D

12/1

Successive victories at Haydock and Ayr during the summer, but recent efforts have not been to the same standard. Best efforts have been achieved on a sounder surface,

Cote d'Azur²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: J Mitchell| T: J L Eyre| OR: 88| D

28/1

Poor efforts on last three starts, but finds himself 2lb lower than when scoring at Nottingham in July. This going may be softer than ideal.

Form: 415000

Custom Cut^p¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 88

9/1

Very talented performer in his prime, but is on a downward spiral and is on a long, losing sequence. Current mark very appealing, though, and he can't be ruled out,

Form: 464640

Mikmak²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 87| D

12/1

In good form during the summer, winning at Thirsk, and showed his well being when third of 16 at York last month. Each-way claims off the same mark.

Form: 312603

Thomas Cranmer¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 86| D

20/1

Ripon winner on a fast surface in July, but subsequent efforts have been ordinary. Falling handicap mark, but others are preferred.

Hasanoanda⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 88| D

14/1

Won three times for John Gosden and first run for current trainer at York was perfectly respectable. Not out of this off 1lb lower.

Form: 414416

Zabeel Star¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 85| D

8/1

Scored in good style over hurdles at Carlisle before being turned over at odds-on at that venue on his latest outing. Interesting returned to the Flat off this mark.

Form: 123405

Speed Company⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: P J McDonald| T: Ian Williams| OR: 82| D

4/1

Not at his best on recent starts for John Quinn and tries his luck for a new handler who does well with other trainers' cast-offs. Handicapped to go very close if the change of scenery has helped.

Forecasts

Piece Of History (7/2), Speed Company (4/1), Awake My Soul (9/2), Zabeel Star (8/1), Custom Cut (9/1), Mikmak (12/1), Mooltazem (12/1), Hasanoanda (14/1), Mukhayyam (14/1), Empress Ali (16/1), Thomas Cranmer (20/1), Cote d'Azur (28/1)

Speed Company is interesting on his first start for a new stable, while top-weight Awake My Soul and the unexposed Piece Of History are well worth a second look. HASANOANDA ran well on his first start for this yard and looks sure to give his backers a run for their money. Others to enter calculations in an open handicap are Custom Cut, Mikmak, Empress Ali and Zabeel Star.
