3/1

5/1, good second of 13 on handicap bow at Redcar (10f, good to soft) 81 days ago. Visor on now and step up in trip should suit so not ruled out in his bid for a first win.

Fair maiden but (9/2) arrives on back of below-form fifth of 14 at Lingfield (12f, AW) 33 days ago. Blinkers on now with bit to prove.

Grinling¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 76| C

16/5

Winner here in June who has continued in good form, set too much to do when fourth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Enters calculations.

Form: 7-61224

East End Girl¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: E J Walsh| T: L Wadham| OR: 75

10/3

Impressive Chepstow 12f winner who posted good third off 9 lb higher in 10f handicap at Sandown 15 days ago, especially as not ideally placed. Has more to offer back over further so interesting.

Form: 50-413

(3)

Machios²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 73| BF

10/1

Stylish winner at Lingfield in August but only tenth of 13 when well backed under a penalty in handicap at Kempton (12f) 20 days ago. Sort to bounce back so not ruled out.

Form: 74-6710

(5)

Flames Of York¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 68

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to soft) 14 days ago. More needed if he's to open his account here though.

Form: 3-694

Forecasts

Zoran (3/1), Grinling (16/5), East End Girl (10/3), Spanish Kiss (9/2), Cloud Thunder (11/2), Tao Te Ching (7/1), Machios (10/1), Flames Of York (28/1)

An intriguing 3-y-o handicap but SPANISH KISS was a real eye-catcher when a fast-finishing third at Lingfield so is fancied to take a big step forward and open his account for the in-form William Knight yard. Chepstow-winner East End Girl also has better days ahead of her so is feared most, while Zoran and Machios are both worth a second look too.
