Home Before Dusk^b³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: S H James| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 89| CD

14/1

4-time C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Last of 5 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm, 10/1) 33 days ago. Back down in grade at a track that suits, so not a forlorn hope.

Form: 407115

Fox Premier^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR: 88

33/1

Fourth of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Can't be dismissed from reduced mark.

Form: 2/007-74

(11)

Bonneval³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: J Mitchell| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 87| CD

13/8

Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap at this C&D (13/8) 35 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 1-32221

Lord Neidin¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 87| D

7/1

Latest win at Pontefract in June. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Not one to write off.

Form: 4-67146

Sevenal^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 87| D

9/2

2 wins from 4 runs this year. Gelded, 11/4, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Salisbury (8f, good) 22 days ago, driven out. Makes tapeta debut. One to consider.

Form: 2-5151

(6)

Shouldering^h1,t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: P Cosgrave| T: D Menuisier| OR: 78

18/1

Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 7/1) 19 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Has work to do if she's to defy this mark, but she's still relatively unexposed.

Form: 51-5553

(2)

Delgrey Boy⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73| D

11/1

Below form fifth of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Likely to be back on his game, but others look better treated.

Form: 223435

(7)

Draconid^t³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 77

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Galway (8.6f, soft) 37 days ago, needing stiffer test. Makes tapeta debut. Still unexposed, but may need a bit further.

Form: 6254

(9)

Sugauli²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Tom Clover| OR: 76| D

11/1

Latest win at Newbury in July. 9/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 28 days ago, running on. Makes tapeta debut. Not discounted.

Form: 17-3415

(12)

Canoodled²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁵⁾| T: E Walker| OR: 74| D

18/1

Winner at Lingfield in June. Eighth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 28 days ago, slowly away. Others make more appeal.

Form: 832138

Smooth Spirit^v1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Nicola Currie| T: J Ferguson| OR: 73| BF

20/1

Quirky sort. Latest win at Lingfield in August. 9/4 and blinkered for 1st time, good second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 17 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Solid claims.

Form: 14-8212

(8)

Fashion Free^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: M Appleby| OR: 66| CD

80/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Nottingham in August. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm, 13/2) 14 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Bonneval (13/8), Sevenal (9/2), Lord Neidin (7/1), Delgrey Boy (11/1), Sugauli (11/1), Home Before Dusk (14/1), Shouldering (18/1), Canoodled (18/1), Smooth Spirit (20/1), Draconid (25/1), Fox Premier (33/1), Fashion Free (80/1)

BONNEVAL confirmed the encouragement of previous efforts when opening his account over C&D in July and, given he overcame a pace bias that day, he boasts excellent claims of following up from a 4 lb higher mark in a race where they should go a reasonable gallop. Fellow last-time-out winner Sevenal is a danger despite his quirks, while Home Before Dusk can't be ignored dropping back in grade.
