9/2
Three wins from 16 runs this year. 2/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 21 days ago, battling well. Not taken lightly.

Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 8/1, last of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f). Off 10 months and this 9-y-o is probably worth taking on.

Eyeshields on for 1st time, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Four-time C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in July. 18/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 31 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

3/1
C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Creditable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 34 days ago, not clear run. Expected to be bang there.

17/2, last of 14 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 76 days ago. Makes tapeta debut on first run for yard after leaving Mark Johnston and cheekpieces on 1st time. Looks up against it.

6/1
Below form sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 17 days ago, needing stiffer test. Each-way shout if he puts his best foot forward.

5/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 28 days ago, finishing with running left. Certainly not without each-way hope off the same mark here.

Twelfth of 13 in handicap (150/1) at this course (8f) 52 days ago, slowly away. Back down in trip and she's likely to struggle once more.

Forecasts

Etikaal (3/1), Phoenix Star (9/2), Prophecy (6/1), Daysaq (8/1), Dubai Elegance (10/1), Scale Force (11/1), Good Night Mr Tom (12/1), My Friend Stan (12/1), Epeius (14/1), Afro Blue (20/1), Jan Van Hoof (33/1), Kommander Kirkup (50/1), War of Clans (50/1), Jordan's Chris (150/1)

Verdict

Preference is for ETIKAAL, who was successful here twice in 2019 and left the impression that his turn may again be near when making the frame in a couple of handicaps here last month. Dubai Elegance has been knocking on the door of late and she should be in the thick of things, while Daysaq, who caught the eye last time, and the hat-trick seeking Phoenix Star are others to consider.

  1. ETIKAAL
  2. DUBAI ELEGANCE
  3. DAYSAQ (IRE)
