Woven⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Harry Bentley| T: D M Simcock| OR: 91| BF

9/4

Good second at Goodwood in August. Failed to meet expectations at Chelmsford last week but this is a class drop.

Form: 164725

Equitation^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: S C Williams| OR: 89| CD

11/1

C&D winner who ran well for a long way when ninth of 11 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good) 12 days ago. In better heart that his recent form figures suggest.

Form: 8-76289

(3)

City Walk²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 90| BF| D

5/1

Showed much improved form to get off the mark at Bath in July. Only 5¼ lengths sixth of 7 to Concierge at same course last time but was possibly unsuited by conditions.

Form: 3-4016

(4)

Mokaatil^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: Ian Williams| OR: 83| D

13/2

10/1, respectable tenth of 19 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good) 13 days ago. Looked to be coming to the boil before that run, so worth another chance in refitted cheekpieces.

Form: 84-7430

(7)

Hamish Macbeth⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: H Palmer| OR: 85| D

11/4

Dual 2-y-o winner and best effort this year when third at Newmarket in July. Ran to similar level at Ascot since but needs to find a bit more if he's to defy this mark.

Form: 5-36734

(6)

Spanish Angel⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 83

13/2

Winner over 5f at Windsor in June but didn't prove well suited by a return to that trip when only sixth of 9 at Goodwood last time. Back up to 6f.

Form: 1-31346

MOKAATIL looked to be coming to the boil prior to Ascot, so he's worth another chance in refitted cheekpieces and with a fully-fledged rider now back on board. The return to faster ground ought to be in City Walk's favour and he's feared most.
