Dilawara⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 88

7/2

Hooded, first run since leaving M. Delzangles when seventh of 15 in handicap at the Curragh 40 days ago, nearest finish having met trouble. Top yard should get more out of her, so worth chancing.

Form: 2/1410-7

Typhoon Ten¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 88| D

14/1

Quite useful but has now gone 17 runs since last win in 2020. Again not disgraced when 3 lengths fourth of 8 at Newmarket (7f) 19 days ago and this represents a drop back in grade.

Form: 322264

Revolutionise^t¹⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 82| BF| D

16/1

Dual winner on AW this term and underwhelming third at Yarmouth 100 days ago wasn't a true reflection of his merit (raced freely). Not discounted from potentially lenient turf mark.

Form: 121883

Blackheath^p1,t⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 81| BF| D

22/1

Fairly useful handicapper who, from a slipping mark, turned in his best effort of the season when third at Leicester (7f, good, 15/8) 54 days ago. Should go well again in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 44-0653

(7)

Rovaniemi¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 80| D

20/1

Hard to win with and found little when down the field at Newmarket 19 days ago. Return of Jamie Spencer is a plus, though.

Form: 247257

Natural Path^t1⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 79| D

11/1

Three-time winner in France but hasn't been firing yet this term. Warrants a market check debuting for new yard after a couple of months off.

Form: 11/17-77

(6)

Strongbowe³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 79| BF| D

17/2

Confirmed previous promise when off the mark in good style for this yard at Thirsk (6f) in June and has held his form since. Promises to be well suited by this longer trip, so warrants consideration.

Form: 673124

(11)

Echo Beach^v⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 75| D

7/2

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Newcastle 7 days ago but he'd seemed pretty exposed beforehand, so a penalty will likely be enough to stop him.

Form: 41-3551

(12)

Sycamore^t1¹¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: M Dwyer| T: M Meade| OR: 71

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden who looked awkward in first-time blinkers when only fifth at Bath 111 days ago. Might have a bigger effort in him, but will need to break on terms and show a better attitude.

Form: 625-65

(4)

Foxtrot Sizzler^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: D Menuisier| OR: 76| D

3/1

Much improved since switched to handicaps, scoring twice at Newbury in gutsy style from the front. Latest success has been boosted by the runner-up since, so expect another bold showing.

Form: 65411

(9)

Global Acclaim²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁵⁾| T: C G Cox| OR: 74

25/1

Yet to add to her debut win last term, but latest third in a Chepstow handicap was a step in the right direction. May yet do better, so not totally discounted.

Form: 1-543

(5)

Royal Advice¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 74| D

100/1

Won 3 times at Newcastle earlier in the year but signs of temperament on turf recently. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 173466

Forecasts

Foxtrot Sizzler (3/1), Echo Beach (7/2), Dilawara (7/2), Strongbowe (17/2), Natural Path (11/1), Typhoon Ten (14/1), Revolutionise (16/1), Rovaniemi (20/1), Blackheath (22/1), Global Acclaim (25/1), Sycamore (25/1), Royal Advice (100/1)

DILAWARA made a promising start for Joseph O'Brien at the Curragh last time and this isn't as competitive, so she's fancied to edge this. Foxtrot Sizzler should give it a good go from the front in his hat-trick bid, while Strongbowe has been shaping as if this longer trip will suit, so he's also firmly on the radar.
