Millions Memories¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Charlie Bennett| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 71

13/2

Yet to add to juvenile success in 2018 and was below best at Sandown last time.

Form: 700-324

(9)

Bombero^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Bentley| T: E De Giles| OR: 71| D

12/1

Not the most consistent and finished well beaten on latest start at Salisbury. Cheekpieces back on. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 92-1040

(6)

Torbellino^h²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J R Best| OR: 70

15/2

Off the mark for this yard at Lingfield (12f) in June and back to that sort of form when fourth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 21 days ago. Not out of things.

Form: 8510P4

(12)

Hill Hollow¹⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jim Crowley| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 69

28/1

Restricted to just 4 runs for David Simcock, most recently when second in Wolverhampton minor event (8.7f) in March. Hard to know what to expect now upped in trip on yard/handicap debut.

Form: 34-32

Croeso Cymraeg²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Raul Da Silva| T: H J Evans| OR: 69

13/2

Returned to winning ways at Sandown (10f) in July and backed that effort up when fine second in Chepstow handicap (10f, good to soft) since. Finds himself on career-high mark now, though.

Form: 525512

(7)

Central City^p³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: Ian Williams| OR: 68| D

11/1

Not scored since early 2019 and has plenty to prove after disappointing return at Sandown last month.

Form: 87-2369

(10)

Songo^h²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: M F Harris| OR: 66| D

9/2

Scored for fourth time (from just 6 starts) when taking 10-runner handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 26 days ago, keeping on well. 5 lb rise fair and is a leading contender.

Form: 113-131

(11)

Stormingin^p⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 65

17/2

Respectable third here (9f, good to soft) 9 days ago but isn't the easiest to win with and percentage call is to look elsewhere. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 348463

(3)

Shifting Gold³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Knight| OR: 65

13/2

Dropped to a handy mark and arrives on back of respectable sixth in Lingfield handicap (12f, AW) 34 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 17-1396

(2)

Prince Llyr¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: H Main| OR: 65

9/2

Improved on recent efforts when taking 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 16 days ago, overcoming pace bias. 3 lb rise fair and merits consideration.

Form: 4/3-6501

(5)

Frankincense^p1²⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: C J Down| OR: 65

66/1

Maiden on Flat and over hurdles who hasn't been seen since disappointing over timber at Limerick 9 months ago. First run for new yard on return here.

Isle of Wolves⁸

Weight: 9-9| Age: 4

T: J R Boyle J: P Cosgrave

Forecasts

Prince Llyr (9/2), Songo (9/2), Croeso Cymraeg (13/2), Shifting Gold (13/2), Millions Memories (13/2), Isle of Wolves (13/2), Torbellino (15/2), Stormingin (17/2), Central City (11/1), Bombero (12/1), Hill Hollow (28/1), Frankincense (66/1)

This can go to SONGO, who added to his impressive strike rate when scoring at Bath last month and remains low-mileage. Shifting Gold and Prince Llyr rate the principal dangers.
