7/1

Off the mark at the fourth time of asking for connections when landing a contest over C&D early last month at odds of 25/1. Beaten since but repeat of that effort should see her in the hunt for more prize money.

The Night King²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S W Kelly| T: M Quinn| OR: 69| CD

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 72

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett| OR: 70

5/1

Five-race maiden has been running with credit in defeat in a number of starts since a disappointing debut over C&D in July. Capable of a bold bid on the balance of recent efforts.

Forecasts

Sandy Steve (13/8), Roving Mission (5/1), Lucky Turn (7/1), Bruyere (10/1), Dubious Affair (12/1), Toro Dorado (14/1), J'ouvert (14/1), Dreamboat Dave (16/1), Angel's Whisper (20/1), The Night King (20/1), Windsor Cross (33/1), Elixsoft (33/1), Fields Of Dreams (33/1), Rakematiz (33/1), Grand Inquisitor (33/1), Filles De Fleur (33/1)

C&D winner SANDY STEVE can land the spoils in the closing race of the evening. The three-year-old has been in good form of late winning on his latest start at Kempton early last month off a 7lb lower mark following a C&D victory in August. The Sir Michael Stoute-trained Dubious Affair and Roving Mission for owner Khalid Abdullah can compete for remaining prize money while J'Ouvert, winner at this venue on his latest start earlier this month should not be taken lightly.
