Anythingtoday¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 92| C| D

11/1

Dual winner for David O'Meara last term. Good placed efforts first 2 runs for new yard and far from disgraced of late having contested top-level handicaps.

Form: 320005

(11)

Red October^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: W Buick| T: H Palmer| OR: 91| D

14/1

Made light of a 15-month absence when making all in small field at Leicester in July. Excuses when well held at Goodwood and back on the up when successful at Chelmsford latest.

Form: 21/3-101

(12)

Mandarin¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D Loughnane| OR: 90| D

14/1

Back-to-back winner of handicaps at up to 12f for Ian Williams last year. Low-key reappearance/stable debut at Ascot but much more like it Sandown, travelling well when denied a run.

Form: 1130-87

(3)

Scottish Summit⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: S H James| T: G A Harker| OR: 90| D

14/1

Strong traveller who got off the mark for the season in 8-runner heavy-ground contest at Redcar last week (1m). Stays this far but up 4 lb in a much deeper race.

Form: 323221

(5)

Glasses Up¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mathers| T: R M Smith| OR: 87| D

25/1

Triple winner at Ayr upon resumption, better than ever in form terms for latest of them and shaped as though still in form when mid-field over C&D last time, racing away from the main action.

Form: 012117

(19)

Archie Perkins²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 85| CD

50/1

Won 3 times last season and all the better for return when close second at Doncaster. Found John Smith's Cup too competitive here in July and 12f probably not his trip at Pontefract latest.

Form: 29-6204

(4)

Markazi²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 84

33/1

Landed 7f handicap at Ayr from this mark a year ago so boasts claims from a handicapping perspective, but he's yet to fully fire in a 5-race 2020 campaign and now up markedly in trip minus headgear.

Form: 6-04590

(10)

Thibaan^t²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 89| D

9/2

Well-bred colt who was fitted with a tongue tie prior to making a successful handicap debut over this trip at Doncaster last month. 4 lb rise perfectly fair so he's on the shortlist.

Form: 4-221

(16)

Poet's Dawn⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Ella McCain⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78| C| D

16/1

Shaped well at Beverley a month ago and back to winning ways from the front at Ripon last week, doing it decisively. 5 lb penalty less of a concern than inconsistent profile.

Form: 300301

(6)

Luigi Vampa^b1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: D Menuisier| OR: 88

8/1

1m Goodwood maiden winner last summer and he remains on a good handicap mark, but is increasingly becoming one to be wary off due to propensity to blow the start. Blinkers reached for.

Form: 23-5U47

(8)

Sucellus¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 81| D

12/1

Narrowly opened turf account over C&D on final start for John Gosden last September. Has failed to make a meaningful impact so far this year.

Form: 607700

(13)

Where's Jeff²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 80| D

50/1

All the better for his return when runner-up at Hamilton (9f) in June, noted keeping on from over 1f out. Subsequent exploits not so good though, and he does need to bounce back.

Form: 6-02830

(14)

Arctic Fox^v1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R A Fahey| OR: 80| CD

10/1

Gained 2 of 3 wins in handicaps last year at this venue and caught the eye back here over 11.9f on her penultimate start. Finshing effort was surprisingly lacking at Ripon and now visored.

Form: 66-8343

(20)

Irv¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 80| C

80/1

Dual winner over 1m here last summer but has suffered a brace of heavy defeats following on from his reappearance second at Thirsk. Isn't totally straightforward, either.

Form: 090-290

(9)

Mr Carpenter¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78| C

25/1

First run since leaving David Lanigan when 100/1 winner of a handicap here over 11.9f in July. Heavy ground perhaps to blame for Catterick defeat 7 weeks later.

Form: 0320-10

(7)

Tasaamuh²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Varian| OR: 84

17/2

Bumped into a smart prospect on second start in 1m novice here in July and didn't need to match that form to get the job done at Wolverhampton. Likely has more to offer in handicaps.

Form: 321

(17)

Dubai Acclaim¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 77

66/1

Cashed in off reduced mark in 11-runner contest at Ayr over 1m in July and matched that form when third over same C&D from 6 lb higher a month later. Needs to improve for step up in trip.

Form: 2-79513

(1)

Duesenberg¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 80

16/1

Debut winner at 2 yrs and shaped well on return/handicap bow at Doncaster in June (1m). Failed to build on that twice since and now tackles a new distance.

Form: 153-660

(2)

St Just²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 77

15/2

Positive start for this yard with a brace of placed efforts during the summer, behind Thibaan latterly. Big field/strong-pace scenario will suit kept to this trip.

Form: 751-332

Forecasts

Thibaan (9/2), St Just (15/2), Luigi Vampa (8/1), Tasaamuh (17/2), Arctic Fox (10/1), Anythingtoday (11/1), Sucellus (12/1), Kingbrook (12/1), Mandarin (14/1), Scottish Summit (14/1), Red October (14/1), Poet's Dawn (16/1), Duesenberg (16/1), Mr Carpenter (25/1), Glasses Up (25/1), Markazi (33/1), Archie Perkins (50/1), Where's Jeff (50/1), Dubai Acclaim (66/1), Irv (80/1)

The Hamdan Al Maktoum-owned pair THIBAAN and Tasaamuh look the pair to focus on, with the former just preffered following a winning first try in a handicap at Doncaster last month. Arctic Fox could be revived by the visor.
