Frontispiece¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: R L Moore| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 87

9/2

Dual winner at Newbury in 2019 who has returned after a breathing op in excellent form, second back there over 13.3f last time. Nudged up 1 lb but can make his presence felt once more.

Form: 1816-22

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W J Knight| OR: 80| D

3/1

Unreliable sort but back on track when winning 14f handicap at Sandown 6 days ago. Saddles 5 lb penalty but firmly in the mix if in the mood again.

Form: 04-3801

(10)

C'Est No Mour¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: P J Dobbs| T: S Hodgson| OR: 83

12/1

Made it 2-4 this summer when getting up late to score in 12f handicap at Newbury 14 days ago. Up 5 lb but proven at this trip so much respected.

Form: 45-4131

(7)

Singing The Blues¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: B R Millman| OR: 82| D

8/1

Thriving since the restart, and landed hat-trick in good style when making all at Bath (13f) 16 days ago. Hit with another 5 lb rise but most likeable sort who is sure to make his presence felt.

Form: 373111

Orin Swift⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J G Portman| OR: 81| D

10/1

Scored first time out over 14f last season but ran badly after 8 months off when (10/1) ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (16f) in June. Has it to prove now.

Form: 25472-9

Past Master¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: H Candy| OR: 81| CD

5/1

Landed this event 12 months ago and (12/1) not at all disgraced after 9 months off when fifth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (14f) on return, fading only late on. Very interesting now dropped 1 lb.

Form: 32148-5

(8)

Western Duke^v¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: Ian Williams| OR: 80

11/1

Yet to hit top form since the restart but (visored) took step back in right direction when sixth in handicap (12/1) at Haydock (14f) 18 days ago. Player if headgear works again.

Form: 054-096

(2)

Rake's Progress¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: H Main| OR: 78| C

6/1

Course winner last summer who arrives on back of creditable fourth in 10f handicap at Newbury 14 days ago. Stamina is not assured over this longer trip though.

Form: 150-204

Navajo Star⁴⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: R Brisland| OR: 72| D

66/1

Dual 2m winner early in 2019 but off track for 15 months. Fitness clearly a big concern on his return now so others appeal more.

Seinesational (3/1), Frontispiece (9/2), Past Master (5/1), Rake's Progress (6/1), Mr Chua (7/1), Singing The Blues (8/1), Orin Swift (10/1), Dance To Paris (10/1), Western Duke (11/1), C'Est No Mour (12/1), Mouriyani (12/1), Dragons Voice (25/1), Busy Street (25/1), Navajo Star (66/1)

A case can be made for a few here but the most persuasive one is for PAST MASTER who took this contest last season and signalled he's ready to go close again when a fading fifth on his return at Haydock earlier in the month. Western Duke has the potential to pose a big threat if building on his recent sixth in the same race, while Dance To Paris has place claims.
