Uther Pendragon^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: L P Keniry| T: J S Moore| OR: 68| CD

14/1

C&D winner in June. Below form sixth of 12 in handicap back over C&D (good to firm, 12/1) 15 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 170226

Biotic⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Cieren Fallon| T: B R Millman| OR: 68| D

14/1

Untrustworthy individual. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good, 20/1) 9 days ago, but whether he will back that up here remains to be seen.

Form: 042842

(5)

Magical Dragon²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 70

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 23 days ago. Up in trip now and needs to raise his game.

(11)

Mephisto^b²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 69| D

9/2

Winner at Sandown in August. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Bit more needed, but he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 40-0615

(4)

Sweet Charity^p1³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D J Coakley| OR: 64| D

6/1

Latest win at Windsor in July. Creditable second of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good, 7/2) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and she should be in the mix.

Form: 50-6132

(7)

Kenstone¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 62| BF

11/1

7/2, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Merits serious consideration off the same mark here.

Form: 67-4473

(3)

Lockdown Dream^v²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 67| D

16/1

Winner at Beverley in August. 10/1, good second of 15 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good) 21 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Form: 467012

(12)

Lovers' Gait¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 67| CD

9/4

C&D winner in August. Bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 5/1) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 0-11447

50/1

Sixth of 7 in claimer (36/1) at Clairefontaine (10.9f, soft) 33 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 763066

(10)

Precisely¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: W Buick| T: J Butler| OR: 62| BF

7/2

Promising type. 11/10, second of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Faced with a stiffer test now handicapping and William Buick booked. Likely improver.

Form: 32

Lovers' Gait (9/4), Precisely (7/2), Fox Shinji (4/1), Mephisto (9/2), Sweet Charity (6/1), Kenstone (11/1), Uther Pendragon (14/1), Biotic (14/1), Lockdown Dream (16/1), Burke And Wills (16/1), Magical Dragon (20/1), Limelighter (25/1), Besides (50/1), Mr Shady (50/1)

KENSTONE hasn't got his head in front for over 2 years, but he has dropped a long way down the weights and suggested that his turn may well be near when third at Chelmsford last time. Unexposed handicap debutante Precisely is feared greatly, with this step up in trip likely to help unlock improvement and William Buick doing the steering. Fox Shinji and Sweet Charity are others to consider.
