Flatley²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 80

12/1

Well-bred gelding who has progressed steadily in a trio of maidens at up to 8.3f this summer, third at Nottingham latest despite showing signs of greenness. May do better now handicapping.

Form: 553

(9)

Kryptos²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: John Berry| OR: 80| C

9/2

Went close over C&D last summer and regained winning thread at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in November. Efforts have been mixed this season but he may well be sharper for last month's first run for 12 weeks.

Form: 35-5780

Kaleidoscopic³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: M R Channon| OR: 80| D

4/1

Dual winner in 2020 who has eased in weights and caught the eye to some degree at Goodwood on her penultimate start. Caught further back than ideal at Salisbury (12f) latest and not discounted.

Form: 268855

Emiyn⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 76

10/1

Fairly useful ex-Irish 1m winner for Dermot Weld. Fair runs in York handicaps upon joining new yard earlier this season and given a break following a poor run at Pontefract in June.

Form: 410-776

(2)

Widaad⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Nicola Currie| T: G Boughey| OR: 74

7/2

Shed maiden tag from 8 lb lower mark at Newmarket (7f) in May and remained in good form since, just touched off at Chelmsford (1m) 9 days ago. Should go well again back up in trip.

Form: 412332

Zambezi Magic^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 73| D

11/1

Winner over this sort of trip at Haydock last summer for Clive Cox. Form up and down for present yard but his latest second at Ffos Las (10f) was very much a return to form. Claims with a repeat.

Form: P05452

(5)

Bay Of Naples⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: D C Costello| T: M Herrington| OR: 70

14/1

Three-time winner on Southwell over the winter who ran well when fourth over C&D early last month. Headed post at Chelmsford (10f) since and another who can go well.

Form: 151842

Tundra¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 68| D

14/1

Kept busy this year, adding victories to the tally at Bath/Ayr in recent months. Placed on 2 of her 4 starts since but yet to win from a mark this high.

Form: 112792

(8)

Gabrials Boy¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68| D

14/1

Ripon maiden winner (9.7f) as a 3-y-o who didn't kick on from a promising reappearance third on AW last summer. Similarly been below best upon returning this season but his mark is easing at least.

Form: 760-468

(10)

Little Ted^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-3| J: J F Egan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62| D

9/1

Quirky type who has looked more straightforward of late, running out an easy winner of a Ripon seller (9.7f) 11 days ago. Task is to build on that back in a handicap from revised mark.

Form: 736431

(6)

Bit Of A Quirke^v¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-2| J: Hayley Turner| T: M Walford| OR: 61| CD

20/1

Ended losing run spanning almost 2 years at Leicester (10f) in May. Best efforts since have come at Beverley, late headway to finish close-up third over 10f at that venue latest. Each-way claims.

Forecasts

Widaad (7/2), Kaleidoscopic (4/1), Kryptos (9/2), Little Ted (9/1), Emiyn (10/1), Zambezi Magic (11/1), Flatley (12/1), Tundra (14/1), Bay Of Naples (14/1), Gabrials Boy (14/1), Bit Of A Quirke (20/1), The New Marwan (33/1)

KALEIDOSCOPIC has finished only midfield on each of her last 2 starts, yet in her defence she hasn't gone without promise in what looked stronger contests, and having been afforded a chance by the assessor, it would come as no surprise to see a good showing down in class. Kryptos, at likely longer odds, is not out of things on last year's form, whilst Widaad and Zambezi Magic can also feature.
