The Stalking Moon^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Ryan Tate| T: M D I Usher| OR: 62

22/1

Latest win at Windsor in August. 50/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 7 days ago, running on. However, she remains 2 lb above last winning mark.

Beau Geste⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A W Carroll| OR: 61| CD

6/4

C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 6/1, unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (9f) 44 days ago. Has good chance on form.

Form: 1-21134

Traveller^t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Russell⁽⁵⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 60| CD

10/1

Course winner. 11/2, improved on recent efforts to win 13-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f) 11 days ago, keeping on well. Expected to be in the mix again.

Hector's Here^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: T Hamilton| T: I Furtado| OR: 59| D

9/1

Blinkered for 1st time, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 10/1) 15 days ago, albeit looking awkward throughout. No sure thing to build on that effort here.

Form: 088774

Billy Roberts^t1²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 58

10/1

18/1 and blinkered for 1st time, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good) 21 days ago. Does arrive here with yard amongst the winners however and a first-time tongue strap may help.

Form: 0-48800

(9)

Good Time Charlie^p⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 61

9/1

11/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Windsor (10f, heavy) 45 days ago, possibly unsuited by conditions. No surprise to see him back to form returned to AW.

Form: 362630

Berkshire Philly³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 59

8/1

Good second of 12 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 38 days ago, keeping on having been headed early in the straight. Still relatively low mileage and expected to be thereabouts.

Form: 04-2972

G For Gabrial^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 57

4/1

Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 7/1) 11 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 409722

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: L Morris| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 46

28/1

16/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 003008

Forecasts

Beau Geste (6/4), G For Gabrial (4/1), Berkshire Philly (8/1), Hector's Here (9/1), Good Time Charlie (9/1), Traveller (10/1), Billy Roberts (10/1), The Stalking Moon (22/1), Khazaf (28/1)

BEAU GESTE is going the right way on all-weather and looked most unlucky not to finish closer when fourth at Goodwood in August, hampered under 2f out but noted keeping on well for hands-and-heels riding. The return to this venue rates a plus and he can get back to winning ways. Berkshire Philly and Good Time Charlie are others to consider.
