Wind In My Sails¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: P Cosgrave| T: E De Giles| OR: 75

50/1

Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 100/1) 19 days ago. Dangerous if scaling a revival, but recent efforts do not suggest that one is imminent.

Form: 105-600

Kodiac Harbour¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Brisland| OR: 75| C

16/1

Course winner. 10/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 12 days ago. Up in trip and while he would be a player if returning to something like his best, others make more appeal.

Form: 645560

Crimewave^v¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Tom Clover| OR: 75| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 17/2) 17 days ago. Back up in trip and he's in with an each-way shout.

Form: 310442

The Game Is On^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: S Dow| OR: 71| D

33/1

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (50/1) at Goodwood (9f, good to soft) 23 days ago, suited by strong pace. Up 3 lb and things may not pan out so favourably this time.

Form: 227691

Mr Top Hat¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans| OR: 71| BF| D

10/1

Latest win at Chepstow in July. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (3/1) at Salisbury (8f, good to soft) 19 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Remains on a workable mark and merits respect.

Form: 491234

Born A King^p1,t1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 75| BF

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/4, sixth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Back up in trip and cheekpieces/tongue strap now added. In good hands and worth another chance.

Form: 4-436

(13)

Union Spirit^p⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 75| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Beverley in July. 10/1, below form eighth of 15 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good) 42 days ago. Possibly a shade too high in the weights now.

Form: 03-5118

(7)

Quemonda¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: P & O Cole| OR: 70| CD

9/2

Three-time C&D winner, the latest in August. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Lingfield (10f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 14-1214

More Than A Prince^p1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 75

16/1

First run since leaving Richard Hannon when sixth of 7 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to soft, 13/2) 34 days ago. More needed now tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 751-846

(12)

Stormbomber⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Keniry| T: M Madgwick| OR: 69

50/1

150/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good to firm) 46 days ago. Back up in trip. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 21-7609

(3)

Zeimaam^v1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 74| BF

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 6/5, creditable second of 10 in maiden at Bath (8f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Needs to improve, but possible that he'll do so over this new trip and with a visor enlisted.

Form: 436-72

(6)

Systemic⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 72

4/1

Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in maiden (9/4) at this C&D (AW) 49 days ago. Improvement on the cards now handicapping and he's one to consider.

Form: 45

Forecasts

Systemic (4/1), Quemonda (9/2), Crimewave (11/2), Libretti (11/2), Born A King (13/2), Zeimaam (7/1), Zihaam (7/1), Union Spirit (9/1), Mr Top Hat (10/1), Kodiac Harbour (16/1), More Than A Prince (16/1), The Game Is On (33/1), Stormbomber (50/1), Wind In My Sails (50/1)

SYSTEMIC failed to build on the promise of his Doncaster debut over this C&D last time, but he remains with potential and is appealing off what may turn out to be a very fair mark for this handicap debut. Mr Top Hat is holding his form well and should be on the premises once again, while Zeimaam and Born A King are both worth another chance, and Libretti is also shortlisted.
