Kaloor^p,t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: David Egan| T: D Menuisier| OR: 85

10/1

Has yet to add to his 2-y-o debut success for Brian Meehan, but shaped well when third at Sandown in July and wasn't ideally placed on the outer at same course last time. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 6-55370

Grand Bazaar¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 91| D

4/7

On the up in handicaps this year, landing a double at up to this trip. Has run at least as well in defeat in stronger contests since and ought to go well again.

Form: 5-21125

Ridgeway³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 84

10/1

Much improved from debut when off the mark in 4-runner maiden at Bath in July. Failed by a long way to repeat that effort there next time, but connections were quick to blame the softer going.

Form: 617

Hawridge Flyer²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 75| CD

3/1

C&D winner who returned to something like his best when runner-up on July course in August. Disappointed 7 days later at Haydock but possibly ground race coming too soon, so worth another chance.

Form: 1/79627

Forecasts

Grand Bazaar (4/7), Hawridge Flyer (3/1), Kaloor (10/1), Ridgeway (10/1)

HAWRIDGE FLYER possibly found the race coming too soon last time, so he's worth another chance having been a decisive winner from 2 lb higher over this C&D in the past. Grand Bazaar is a straightforward sort who has done little wrong this year and he's considered the main threat.
