Plunger^p1²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: P & O Cole| OR: 75

13/2

Won an AW claimer at Deauville in August, but not at the same level in two subsequent starts on turf. Rated 2lb below previous win-mark and could bounce back in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 475166

Forseti^h⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 77| CD

12/1

Dual winner from five starts in 2019, including over 7f in selling company at Leicester (good-to-firm) in July. Poor effort since in Brighton handicap (1m, good to firm) and switched yards since.

Form: 4-19810

Delicate Kiss¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 72| CD

8/1

Back to form of late, finishing second in handicaps on here last three starts at Sandown over 7f-1m2f. On workable mark and is a dual C&D winner with sound claims.

Form: 526222

Juanito Chico^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: M J Attwater| OR: 72| D

25/1

Shaped well both starts for this handler at Epsom and Brighton over 7f/1m. Below last winning mark and has shaped well on AW before (first run here).

Form: 463323

Baashiq^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: L P Keniry| T: P W Hiatt| OR: 71| D

14/1

Rated 5lb higher than for recent turf success over a mile at Brighton, has also scored on the Polytrack at Kempton this year and cannot be factored out in current mood.

Form: 441761

Rollicking²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 73| D

33/1

Filly gained sole success from 10 starts at Windsor (1m, good) in September last year from this mark. Looked to need run at Sandown (1m2f) last month after 353-day absence. May do more here with drop in trip favourable.

Form: 33125-5

(2)

Recondite^b1⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 73

6/1

Lightly-raced son of Acclamation, much better showing in 1m Windsor handicap in August on first run after being gelded, denied just a neck in second. Blinkers added for AW bow and shortlisted after the improved run.

Form: 66442

Bobby Biscuit²⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: J F Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 69| BF| D

9/4

Novice winner for Simon Dow at Kempton in January 2018 over this trip, mixed bag of efforts since however. Has joined this yard since last spotted 243 days ago and needs a look in betting (well held favourite here on previous start).

Form: 480-656

(9)

Kendergarten Kop^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: D Flood| OR: 68| CD

4/1

Narrow winner of Class 6 event over C&D in July, has run well both starts since at Kempton and back here over 1m2f. Perfectly entitled to be in the shake-up again down in trip.

Form: 9-12142

(4)

Deference⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Havlin| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 70

33/1

Showed some promise as a novice but yet to really improve in couple of starts in handicaps; last of eight at Salisbury (1m, good) 41 days ago. Return to artificial surface should help.

Form: 43-568

(6)

Mochalov²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 62| BF| C

10/1

Mostly in good form this summer, winning here over 7f in August and running well in third since at Kempton from this mark. Steps up in trip and can give another solid account of himself.

Form: 093213

Forecasts

Bobby Biscuit (9/4), Kendergarten Kop (4/1), Recondite (6/1), Plunger (13/2), Delicate Kiss (8/1), Mochalov (10/1), Forseti (12/1), Baashiq (14/1), Juanito Chico (25/1), Deference (33/1), Rollicking (33/1)

Kendergarten Kop is the benchmark and is proving a consistent performer recently, he's likely to go well with cheekpieces back on now. Dual C&D winner Delicate Kiss also holds sound claims while either of Plunger and recent Brighton scorer Baashiq could go well. RECONDITE though comes here off an improved effort at Windsor on first run after being gelded. Blinkers are tried and if he improves for meeting an artificial surface he will be tough to beat.
