Theotherside³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 86

10/1

Improved when landing a 6f handicap on the July course here 3 starts back. However, conditions are a concern given that she was below par on good to soft at Salisbury last time

Lawahed^t1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas| OR: 84| BF| D

5/1

Made it third time lucky in maidens prior to a creditable effort on handicap debut at York in August. Failed to fire when blinkered (discarded here) at Sandown since and now tried in a tongue strap.

Form: 22138

Areehaa²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 82

5/1

Runner-up first 2 starts prior to opening her account over 1m at Chelmsford last month. Further progress likely now pitched into a handicap and she has to be high on the shortlist.

Form: 2-21

One Small Step²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: B J Meehan| OR: 82| D

9/2

Confirmed debut promise when landing a 15-runner maiden at Yarmouth in July. Did well to finish third at Sandown last time (refused to settle) but she's unproven on a slow surface.

Form: 2133

8/1

Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton in March but hasn't really threatened in 4 subsequent starts. Others preferred.

Hunni^p³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁵⁾| T: Tom Clover| OR: 70| D

11/1

Took advantage of a career-low mark in first-time cheekpieces when scoring over C&D in June. Shade below par since but no surprise were she to bounce back and play a part in the finish.

Form: 4-81446

I'm Available^t,v¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: P J McDonald| T: S C Williams| OR: 69

8/1

Dual winner for Andrew Balding last year but has largely struggled for new connections this season, for all that she shaped better than the bare result here a fortnight ago.

Forecasts

Nehaall (3/1), Dream World (10/3), One Small Step (9/2), Areehaa (5/1), Lawahed (5/1), Lorton (8/1), I'm Available (8/1), Theotherside (10/1), Hunni (11/1)

The unexposed and well-bred AREEHAA is taken to make a winning handicap debut. She did the job well when opening her account on the all-weather last time and the drop to this trip is unlikely to inconvenience her on this stiffer track. Lawahed is worth another chance following her disappointing display in first-time blinkers at Sandown but Dream World may pose a bigger threat.
