Red Verdon^b³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: R L Moore| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 104| CD

25/1

Genuine individual. C&D winner. Bit below form 6¼ lengths third of 7 to Walderbe in Gran Premio del Jockey Club (2/1) at Milan (11.9f, soft) 38 days ago. Looks vulnerable conceding weight all round.

Form: 411473

Jeremiah^p¹⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: C Fellowes| OR: 97| D

10/1

Useful gelding. Latest win at Ascot in July. Nineteenth of 21 in handicap at York (13.8f, good to soft, 22/1), slowly away. Off 102 days and needs a career-best by some way. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 1/88180

(4)

Johnny Drama^t⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: A M Balding| OR: 105| CD

15/8

Smart gelding. C&D winner. 11/10, career best when completing the hat-trick in a 3-runner minor event at Southwell (12.1f) 5 days ago. Should take this step up in class in his stride.

Form: 966111

Sextant^v1⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 106| BF| D

17/2

Smart gelding. 13/8, fourth of 5 in minor event at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) 81 days ago, hampered. Visor on 1st time for this polytrack debut/first run for new yard and he's not discounted.

Form: 412-544

(3)

Sinjaari¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 106

6/4

Smart gelding. Creditable 3½ lengths second of 5 to Dubai Warrior in listed race at Lingfield (10f, AW, 9/2) 18 days ago, no match for winner. Leading contender.

Form: 320-102

(9)

Dono Di Dio³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: M Madgwick| OR: 78| CD

80/1

Fairly useful mare. C&D winner. Respectable third of 9 in handicap (10/3) at this course (11f) 30 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Looks out of her depth in this company.

Form: 420133

(7)

Snapraeceps²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: W Buick| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 104

11/1

Useful filly. 13/2, below form 10¼ lengths seventh of 12 to Barrington Court in listed race at Naas (11.8f, heavy) 25 days ago. No real impact both previous starts on the all-weather.

Form: 264427

(2)

Tribal Craft³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 96| CD

16/1

Useful filly. C&D winner. 3¼ lengths fourth of 5 to Loxley in listed race at this C&D (7/1) 30 days ago. Needs to raise her game a couple of notches.

Form: 842464

(8)

Sagrada Familia^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Spencer| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 95

33/1

Useful filly. Winner at Punchestown in September. 40/1, 21 lengths last of 14 to Ummalnar in listed race at Dundalk (8f) 19 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and likely to find a few too good.

Form: 318580

Forecasts

Sinjaari (6/4), Johnny Drama (15/8), Sextant (17/2), Jeremiah (10/1), Snapraeceps (11/1), Tribal Craft (16/1), Red Verdon (25/1), Sagrada Familia (33/1), Dono Di Dio (80/1)

JOHNNY DRAMA has excelled since switched to the all-weather, winner of back-to-back handicaps here and a minor event at Southwell last month. This demands another personal best, but Andrew Balding's charge may well be equal to the task. Sinjaari chased home a very smart colt in this grade on his polytrack debut at Lingfield recently and is the clear main danger. Sextant is best of the rest.
