Kodiac Pride⁵^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Kaia Ingolfsland| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 70| D

11/8

Slower than most from yard to click in handicaps (ex-William Haggas), but returned from a 7-month absence to produce a career best, winning by 5½L at Lingfield (7f, AW) from Javelin. Thrown in under a 5lb penalty if he can repeat that on turf.

Form: 370-671

In The Cove^b²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Luke Catton⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 70| BF| D

16/1

In same ownership as Kodiac Pride, and also a comfortable winner at this trip at Chepstow on penultimate start. Couldn't defy a penalty there next time, and another 2lb higher now, but not ruled out.

Ragstone View²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 70| D

14/1

Won an amaterurs event at Newbury last term, and better effort this summer when 3¼L seventh of 15 to Karibana there last time. Needs to step up again, but fairly treated if he does.

Form: 1484-87

Juanito Chico^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁷⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 70| D

22/1

Won a 7f Lingfield claimer in March and ran well in handicaps there and at Goodwood subsequently. Good run has come to an abrupt end on last two starts, although he was not persevered with after meeting trouble at Sandown last time.

Human Nature^t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 69| D

13/2

Victorious for the seventh time in his career when successful by 2¼L in a 6f handicap at Kempton in June, and ran well next time, but he's not the same force on turf, and he ran moderately at Newmarket on latest start. Eased 3lb for that.

Biotic¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-13| J: Oliver Searle⁽⁷⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 69| C| D

16/1

Won over 1m at Sandown last year. Slipped in weights, and back to form when 1½L second of 7 to Mr Top Hat over 1m at Chepstow last time. Races over further as a rule, and over six years since he scored over 7f.

Form: P95-042

Winklemann^p³¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Miss Imogen Mathias⁽⁷⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 68| D

40/1

Won a couple of handicaps under this rider in 2019, but he's still 6lb above his last winning mark, and chances are he will need the run after a lengthy lay-off.

Form: 376101-

Alfie Solomons^b⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 67

10/1

Without a win since his juvenile days, when scoring over 5f on Tapeta at Newcastle. Has run respectably over this trip at Sandown on his last two starts, but remains opposable for win purposes.

Form: 375035

Baltic Prince⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65| D

11/1

Took advantage of his sliding mark when scoring at Chepstow last time by a neck from Man of The Sea. All out there, and now 5lb higher, but still fairly treated on 2019 form.

Rains Of Castamere¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Bass⁽⁷⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 65| D

17/2

Ridden more patiently than usual, and back to form when third of 9 to Alix James at Musselburgh last time. Stiffer test at the trip will help, and he's not one to ignore from the same mark.

Form: 1-19483

(3)

Arafi¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: R Hannon| OR: 63

10/1

Yet to build on the promise of her 2-y-o debut, and readily held in a couple of handicaps to date. Still early days, but she needs to raise her game to win off her current mark.

KODIAC PRIDE switches from Polytrack to turf, but he had plenty in reserve when winning on his return from a long break at Lingfield last time, and the penalty he carries should not be enough to prevent him following up. Main danger could be the same owners' In The Cove, who is also a recent winner, and was far from discredited under his own penalty last time. Bonus also ran under a penalty at Windsor last time, and probably found that run coming too soon after his breakthrough win at Yarmouth in June, He's had time to recover, and could bounce back.
