Just Glamorous³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: G Harris| OR: 76| D

6/1

Not the force of old, but went close at Goodwood and Windsor over 5f. Below form of late, but this one-time smart sprinter will appreciate softer ground, and could bounce back.

Form: 206548

Wrenthorpe¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 73| CD

9/4

C&D winner on soft to end last season and headed in the dying strides here on penultimate start. Ran respectably on Fibresand debut last time, and should be a big player back here with plenty in his favour.

Form: 055025

(6)

King Crimson⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 71| D

33/1

Ran creditably at Brighton (5½f) on penultimate start, but that is his only solid form in his last four outings, and he's easy enough to oppose on the balance of his form.

Form: 014427

Secret Potion²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Raul Da Silva| T: R Harris| OR: 69| BF| D

7/1

Won at Leicester and Chepstow in August, and effective on a range of ground. Ran just respectably when fifth at latter course last time, but yard firing in winners of late, and he's not easily ruled out.

Form: 951615

Aperitif⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 68| D

10/3

Little impact in qualifying, but has improved markedly in handicaps, scoring at Goodwood (6f) and Haydock (5f) before an unaccountable flop at Doncaster. Back to form at Salisbury in August, and could easily progress again after a break.

Honey Gg^b¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁷⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 65| D

5/1

In good form on AW early in the year, and possible that latest revival at Southwell was down to the surface rather than anything else. Remains with something to prove based on recent turf efforts.

Mr Greenlight^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60

15/2

Catterick winner earlier in the season, and like a few from the yard, he bounced back to his best when runner-up at Ayr last time. Can be competitive if continuing his revival on this softer turf.

Forecasts

Wrenthorpe (9/4), Aperitif (10/3), Honey Gg (5/1), Just Glamorous (6/1), Secret Potion (7/1), Mr Greenlight (15/2), Moonraker (10/1), Somewhere Secret (10/1), Billy Dylan (16/1), King Crimson (33/1)

Aperitif was back to form and a little better than the result last time, so figures high on the shortlist, while Just Glamorous is better class than this when on song, but with Ron Harris having his team in sparkling form right now the vote goes to SECRET POTION, who already has a brace of handicap wins to his name this turf season, and is still fairly treated.
