11/1
Last of 9 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to soft, 9/1) when last seen in August. Still, now 2 lb lower and couldn't rule out given good AW record (form figures on artificial surfaces read 41318312).

85/40
Seventeenth of 23 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft, 7/2) 28 days ago. Fine effort when going close at Ascot prior to that and this low-mileage 4-y-o is high on the shortlist.

14/1
Latest win at Newmarket in June. Fourth of 5 in handicap (2/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 16 days ago. Efforts prior to that were solid and needs considering off this reduced mark.

Two wins from 5 runs this year. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (16/5) at Chelmsford City (10f) 30 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Up in trip for this tapeta debut.

10/1
Two wins from 5 runs this year. 14/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D 11 days ago, getting first run. 2 lb rise fair enough, but this is a tougher race.

Forecasts

He's A Keeper (11/8), Sam Cooke (85/40), Red October (7/1), Guroor (10/1), Koeman (11/1), The Trader (14/1), Landsman (150/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken on KOEMAN, who has made the frame in all but one of his eight starts on the all-weather. Mick Channon's charge was 5 lengths adrift of Sam Cooke at Ascot in July, but he was returning from a 5-month break that day and, moreover, meets that rival on 7 lb better terms here. Sam Cooke is feared most all the same, while The Trader also enters calculations.

  1. KOEMAN
  2. SAM COOKE (IRE)
  3. THE TRADER (IRE)
