11/2

Wide-margin winner at Hamilton in September but only fair third of 5 under 6 lb penalty in handicap (3/1) at Musselburgh (8f, good) 24 days ago. Off 4 lb higher now so faces no easy task.

Form: 16-6413

10/1

Gained third win of the season at Ascot in July but disappointed after 10 weeks off when only fifth of 6 over C&D 32 days ago. Has bit to prove now.

Zezenia²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 84| D

9/2

Dual handicap winner this summer, latest over 1m at Salisbury in August, and saddle reportedly slipped in 1m handicap at Nottingham 24 days ago. Worth another chance.

Form: 2-31317

Lorton¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Nicola Currie| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 78| C

9/2

Course winner who arrives on back of good third of 7 in handicap here (7f, heavy) 18 days ago. Much respected off unchanged mark.

Dancing Rave^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78| D

7/1

Arrives in excellent form, scoring over 1m at Thirsk before seventh of 18 in handicap at York (7f, soft) 12 days ago. This less competitive so good claims dropped a handy 1 lb..

Form: 025717

Kalsara¹²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 80

16/1

Fair 7f winning juvenile but off 9 months before beating only one in handicap (40/1) at Royal Ascot (8f) in June. Returns from another break now so others appeal more.

Form: 512-0

Sun Bear⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 80| D

18/5

Looked useful prospect when landing 1m Windsor novice in July but only fifth of 6 in 10f handicap at Haydock in the mud only run since. Worth another chance.

Form: 2-815

(2)

Sunset Kiss¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 78

13/2

2/1, readily opened her account after 12 months off in 7f maiden at Wolverhampton 18 days ago. Into handicaps now and open to improvement so worth considering with able claimer in the saddle now.

Form: 53-1

Forecasts

Sun Bear (18/5), Zezenia (9/2), Lorton (9/2), Freyja (11/2), Sunset Kiss (13/2), Dancing Rave (7/1), Manaabit (10/1), Lady Lynetta (12/1), Kalsara (16/1)

Most of these are in with a shout but the vote goes to DANCING RAVE who is at the top of her game and can race off a 1 lb lower mark than when a strong-travelling seventh in a competitive York handicap last time. Handicap-debutante Sunset Kiss is much respected with talented-claimer Ray Dawson now up while course-winner Lorton can have a say too.
