Jalaad²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: A Kirby| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 86| BF| D

7/2

Doncaster maiden winner in April since been beaten favourite in novice, handicap and classified contests. Become very frustrating but surely there is a race in him soon; maybe worth one last chance.

Form: 2-1242

Firmdecisions²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: N Tinkler| OR: 85| CD

11/1

Likable veteran won his first nine races over this trip but twice successful over 6f this season. Shade disappointing latest back up to 7f at Ascot and strangely now he seems to struggle to stay this far.

Form: 702118

Quick Breath⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tyler Saunders⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 83| D

16/1

Came good and delivered on his previous promise this year when taking a 7f AW handicap off a 9lb lower mark in June and ran well next twice before disappointing slightly latest. May yet have more to give.

Sir Titan²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 82| D

16/1

Below form in three starts for new stable, including when seventh of 10 at Goodwood at Ascot latest and overall on recent efforts makes little appeal.

Form: 036-777

Haddaf^t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 82

33/1

Best form has come over sprinting trips and has been out of sorts this season for Robert Cowell. Most recent sixth of seven here on stable bow further evidence he is best watched at present.

Form: 4-05096

Rum Runner²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Hannon| OR: 82| CD

7/1

Made the frame only once since winning here last August and 12th of 13 over C&D latest indicative of his recent form.

Form: 46-9300

Call Out Loud^t,v⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 81| D

12/1

Likable nine-time winner generally better on AW throughout his career but won at Leicester in June and placed in both starts since on turf so at present that can be put to the back of one's mind. Should again make a bold bid.

Form: 433123

Zeyzoun^h²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: G Mosse| T: C F Wall| OR: 78| D

7/2

Knocking on the door of a second career win after narrow defeats at Nottingham (6f) and Chester (7f). Handicap rises by 1lb again but hard to see him not again being in the thick of things where it matters.

Form: 352-632

(2)

Fighting Temeraire¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Joey Haynes| T: D K Ivory| OR: 75| CD

9/4

Right back to form seemingly of late with back-to-back 7f wins at Lingfield and over C&D, the latest in emphatic fashion. Upped 7lb to 75 but won over C&D off 89 in the past so could make light of that.

Form: 805511

Club Tropicana^p1,t²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: L Morris| T: R Spencer| OR: 72

14/1

Off the mark when landing 1m Yarmouth class 6 handicap in May and not beaten far since over the same trip at Sandown. This deeper and not sure she will be appreciative of a drop to 7f (raced at up to 1m2f and over hurdles).

Form: 686-012

Fighting Temeraire (9/4), Jalaad (7/2), Zeyzoun (7/2), Rum Runner (7/1), Daddy's Daughter (7/1), Firmdecisions (11/1), Call Out Loud (12/1), Los Camachos (12/1), Club Tropicana (14/1), Quick Breath (16/1), Sir Titan (16/1), Haddaf (33/1)

After a quiet spell between 2017 and 2018 FIGHTING TEMERAIRE has come roaring back to form with wins at Lingfield and over C&D the last twice and having won off much higher marks in the past there is reason to think he isn't done yet. Expensive to follow Jalaad remains a lightly raced sort who surely has more to give and he is the sort to pop up just as punters dessert him for the first time. Consistent sort Zeyzoun looks a solid each-way proposition sure to go well once more.
