Ajyaall^h²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Spencer| T: W J Haggas| OR: 88

9/4

Quickly made up into a useful sort last term, winning 2 of his 3 starts. Not disgraced so far this term and return of a hood looks a positive (failed to settle last time), so he's one to consider.

Form: 121-456

Arafi¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 89| D

9/1

Gained her third success of the campaign when getting the better of a match at Windsor in August but she has otherwise looked well exposed of late.

Form: 502715

(4)

Enough Already¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: L Carter| OR: 83| D

6/1

Fairly low-mileage 5-y-o who has improved to land 3 handicaps this year, latterly over 1m at Yarmouth in June. Respectable efforts since and this track should suit.

Form: 711456

(3)

Piece Of History²⁰⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 89| D

8/1

One-time useful performer who has something to prove after a couple of sub-par efforts in Meydan earlier this year.

Form: 1/805-60

Pretty In Grey^h1⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti| OR: 90| D

11/2

Useful filly who has returned to form of late. Unseated rider at the start a week ago and she's not threatening a bigger performance. Hooded for the first time.

Form: 3-9555U

(5)

Inveigle²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 90

9/2

Chelmsford winner over 7f in October and doubled tally back on turf at Yarmouth in ready fashion in June. Hasn't quite matched that since but this looks a bit easier than last time.

Form: 1-63174

(8)

Thank You Next⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 89

20/1

Useful performer but looks exposed and is yet to really convince at this trip. Hard to make a strong case for back from a 3-month break.

Form: 2-83457

(2)

Twaasol³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 88

9/1

Useful gelding who followed a good run with a poor one when only fifth at Newmarket a month ago. Solid claims if he can get back on track.

Form: 75-4825

INVEIGLE's impressive success at Yarmouth in June sticks in the mind and, while yet to fully build on it, this looks like an ideal chance for him to resume winning ways. Most of the others have something to recommend them, notably Ajyaall, who still has few miles on the clock.
