11/4

Back on up with C&D win last month and event better form when second of 18 in 1m Balmoral handicap at Ascot (1m) 19 days ago. Looks sure to give another good account.

What's The Story^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 102

17/2

18/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at York (10.2f, soft) 26 days ago, needing lesser test. Makes polytrack debut.

Form: 083057

Visinari⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 103

10/1

Very useful 2-y-o over 6f/7f but not seen again until finishing down the field in 1m York handicap in August. Fair bit to prove now stepping up another 2f in trip and switched to AW.

Home Before Dusk^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 95| D

40/1

All 6 career wins on AW and he may have needed the run back from 4 months off when sixth of 9 here (1m) 3 weeks ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 321406

Dawaam⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 95

6/1

Useful form. Had soft ground as a possible excuse when last of 5 at Goodwood latest and he's 2-3 on AW. Still unexposed.

Form: 1/1-955

Morisco⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 97| D

12/1

Latest win at Newbury in June. 14/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (10f, soft) 49 days ago, not ideally placed. Makes polytrack debut.

Form: 51-1060

Assimilation²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: E Walker| OR: 93| C

20/1

1m Course winner. Added another win to his tally at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March. Not disgraced in 2 comeback outings this autumn but needs more from this mark.

Form: 548165

The Gill Brothers^t³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 91| C

11/2

Useful performer. Course winner. Shaped well when second of 13 at Kempton (1m) 36 days ago, just failing after conceding first run. Looks well treated off only 1 lb higher if seeing out longer trip.

Form: 1132-42

Red October^p⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: B A Curtis| T: H Palmer| OR: 91| CD

16/5

Back on the up with C&D win in August. Well held in big field on turf at York since but may do better back here.

Form: 1/3-1010

(8)

Data Protection^t⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Nicola Currie| T: W R Muir| OR: 89| D

22/1

Latest win at Sandown in August. Found Cambridgeshire at Newmarket too competitive latest. This a bit easier but not that much. Others preferred.

Form: 413100

Forecasts

Solid Stone (11/4), Red October (16/5), The Gill Brothers (11/2), Dawaam (6/1), What's The Story (17/2), Visinari (10/1), Morisco (12/1), Assimilation (20/1), Data Protection (22/1), Home Before Dusk (40/1)

THE GILL BROTHERS' performance at Kempton last time suggests he's a well-handicapped horse so he could be the way to go if his stamina holds now racing beyond 1m for the first time. Solid Stone ran a cracker in the Balmoral on the back of his C&D win in September and looks sure to give it another good shot. Dawaam was last of 5 on turf latest but his AW form reads well so he's also shortlisted.
