Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C F Wall| OR: 77| D

40/1

Much improved when winning back-to-back 1m handicaps at Doncaster and Newmarket in July. Unable to continue the good work since, not looking an easy ride at Newcastle 18 days ago. Hood fitted.

Alibaba⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 80| D

33/1

Sizeable steps forward when landing 1m handicaps at Yarmouth and Windsor in June. Too free from the front tackling 10.3f for the first time at Chester last month so that run can be excused.

Form: 57-1126

Medieval^b¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: P & O Cole| OR: 76| C

22/1

Losing run dates back over 3 years, so he clearly needs everything to fall right. Back on his game when fourth at Wolverhampton but others are more persuasive.

Galactic Glow^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: D Menuisier| OR: 77

3/1

Low-mileage 3-y-o who has started well for his new yard, finding only a big improver too strong in the mud at Yarmouth 19 days ago. A must for the shortlist up 1 lb.

Form: 357-832

Note Bleu⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 75| D

50/1

AW novice winner over 1m in March. 3 lb out of the weights but beaten before that was a factor on turf debut when last seen in July.

Form: 642160

Noble Dawn^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 75

17/2

AW novice winner as a juvenile and better form when runner-up in handicaps at up to 8.7f this month (with tongue tie added to hood), Up 3 lb but she can remain competitive.

Form: 541-622

(5)

Dourado²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: P R Chamings| OR: 72| D

13/2

Have to go back to 2017 for the last time he tasted success, but down to a career-low mark and almost cashed in on it when a neck second to re-opposing Latent Heat at Goodwood 3 weeks ago.

Form: 442452

Latent Heat²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 70| D

11/2

Has coped really well with soft underfoot conditions of late, runner-up over 7f at Goodwood before seeing off Dourado over 1m back at that venue 3 weeks ago. Player in his current mood.

Form: 355521

Vocatus^p,t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: M Appleby| OR: 70

16/1

Took a long time to shed maiden status for Jim Bolger, getting off the mark over 7f in October 2019. Hasn't hit the ground running for Mick Appleby,

Form: 41-3688

Gloweth^p1¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: B A Curtis| T: W S Kittow| OR: 69| D

25/1

Well prepared to make a successful reappearance at Chepstow in June. Hit hard by the assessor for that and hasn't come close to that form since. Cheekpieces tried.

Form: 75-1505

Mabre¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Bentley| T: P D Evans| OR: 72| D

4/1

Off the mark in 1m handicap at Kempton in July and better than ever back on turf when supplementing that at Yarmouth 19 days ago. Up 5lb but clearly at home on testing ground.

Form: 343181

(9)

Rains Of Castamere¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M R Channon| OR: 67| D

13/2

Forecasts

Galactic Glow (3/1), Mabre (4/1), Latent Heat (11/2), Rains Of Castamere (13/2), Dourado (13/2), Noble Dawn (17/2), Vocatus (16/1), Medieval (22/1), Gloweth (25/1), Alibaba (33/1), Turntable (40/1), Note Bleu (50/1)

GALACTIC GLOW's brace of placed efforts in 3-y-o handicaps of late read pretty well in the context of this race so he is selected to shed his maiden status, Latent Heat and Dourado finished first and second in a heavy-ground contest at Goodwood 3 weeks ago and head the opposition.
