Gallipoli^v²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 87| C| D

12/1

Course winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Won 10-runner handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to firm, 4/1) 24 days ago, driven out. This 4 lb higher mark may find him out.

Form: 171371

Alnaseem²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: David Egan| T: J Ferguson| OR: 86| BF| D

5/2

Latest win at Yarmouth in June. Good head second of 13 to Royal Dynasty in handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 23 days ago, staying on well. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 09-2142

King's Slipper⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 85| D

8/1

40/1, bit below form tenth of 17 in handicap at York (7.9f, good) 46 days ago. Something to find on form.

Form: 57-2260

(10)

Swiss Cheer¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J G Portman| OR: 83| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton in February. Twelfth of 15 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to soft, 25/1) 18 days ago. Perhaps a shade too high in the weights at present.

Form: 1-31260

(4)

Lawmaking^p⁸²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: L P Keniry| T: M Scudamore| OR: 83| CD

14/1

C&D winner. 14/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good) 82 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he looks vulnerable.

Form: 3152-40

(9)

Variyann¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: A Watson| OR: 83| D

13/2

Two wins from 4 runs this year. 17/2, respectable ninth of 15 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good) 12 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Claims if taking to this surface.

Form: 44-1159

(2)

Mr Scaramanga²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: S Dow| OR: 82| D

18/1

Respectable 3 lengths sixth of 13 to Royal Dynasty in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 40/1) 23 days ago. Back down to last winning mark and couldn't rule out.

Form: 5-43486

(7)

Wild Hope^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: O McSweeney⁽⁷⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 81| D

33/1

Latest win at Doncaster in July. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to firm, 16/1) 26 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 03-9018

(1)

Royal Dynasty²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: M Moubarak| OR: 80| C

6/1

Career best when winning 13-runner Lingfield handicap (7f, AW, 13/2) 23 days ago by head from Alnaseem, always holding on. 3 lb rise fair but stamina to prove now upped to a mile for the first time.

Form: 213131

(6)

Blame Culture²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: G G Margarson| OR: 80

8/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2019. Creditable 2½ lengths fifth of 13 to Royal Dynasty in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 9/1) 23 days ago, finishing well. May again find a few too good.

Form: 58-2265

(11)

Love Dreams³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁵⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 79| C

20/1

Course winner. 33/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good) 39 days ago. Lurking on a dangerous mark but others look more solid.

Form: 753-387

Forecasts

Alnaseem (5/2), Royal Dynasty (6/1), Variyann (13/2), Swiss Cheer (7/1), King's Slipper (8/1), Blame Culture (8/1), Gallipoli (12/1), Lawmaking (14/1), Mr Scaramanga (18/1), Love Dreams (20/1), Light Up Our Stars (25/1), Wild Hope (33/1)

The vote goes to ALNASEEM, who was strong at the finish when just failing to overhaul Royal Dynasty on all-weather debut at Lingfield. She will appreciate stepping back up to a mile whereas Royal Dynasty, uncomplicated and likeable though she is, may prove vulnerable late on over this new trip and Mr Scaramanga, who was sixth in that Lingfield race, may also turn the tables on her here.
