Mayaas³⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Dane O'Neill| T: W J Haggas| OR: 85| D

5/1

Useful as a juvenile, not needing to get off the mark when opening his account at Musselburgh 11 months ago. Concern that he's not been seen since (has been gelded), but has potential if tuned up.

Form: 43241-

Street Kid^b1⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Mia Biggs⁽⁷⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 84| BF

14/1

Useful sort who arrives on the back of a trio of solid placed efforts and promises to give another good account with blinkers applied for the first time.

Form: 4-75232

(7)

Rich Waters²⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Cosgrave| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 84| D

22/1

Hasn't kicked on from a promising first success at Kempton last November, albeit perhaps not taking to the dirt at Meydan when last seen 8 months ago. Not one to give up on just yet.

Form: 013-8

(12)

Giorgio Vasari^v⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A J Farragher⁽⁵⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 82| D

200/1

Fairly useful last year for Aidan O'Brien but no encouragement so far for current yard.

Form: 87-9880

Dancing To Win^p,h⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: H Palmer| OR: 80| D

15/8

Career best when winning 13-runner novice at Lingfield 54 days ago, in command a long way out. That form has proved quite solid and she's unexposed at this trip, so notable handicap debutante.

Form: 22-2421

(1)

Sir Maxi^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: G Boughey| OR: 79| D

9/1

Won 2 of his 4 starts as a juvenile and, while not the same force this season, took a step back in right direction when second at Chepstow on debut for this stable 9 days ago. Considered.

Form: 12-8752

(5)

Sadiqaa^p⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 78

14/1

Well exposed but his mark is fair and he was back on his game when third of 6 at Leicester in August. Solid claims if he's able to build on that.

Form: 273-873

(10)

Dashing Dick^p²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W Stone| OR: 77| BF| D

9/2

Scored at Yarmouth in July and has acquitted himself well on both outings at the same track since, albeit without seeming to have a great deal in hand.

Form: 242134

(4)

Fangorn²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan| T: M R Channon| OR: 76| BF| D

7/1

Exploits in handicaps rather mixed this summer and he couldn't capitalise on the run of things when a below-par fourth at Newbury last time. Looks typically vulnerable.

Form: 935624

(2)

Ajrad⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: J Quinn| T: W J Knight| OR: 71| BF

18/1

Fair maiden who shaped well at Lingfield on his penultimate start but failed to back it up at Epsom 9 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 3-36626

Forecasts

Dancing To Win (15/8), Dashing Dick (9/2), Mayaas (5/1), Deputy (6/1), Fangorn (7/1), Sir Maxi (9/1), Royal Musketeer (10/1), Sadiqaa (14/1), Street Kid (14/1), Ajrad (18/1), Rich Waters (22/1), Giorgio Vasari (200/1)

DANCING TO WIN recorded an emphatic first victory in a novice at Lingfield 54 days ago and the placed horses have added substance to the form since, so she's fancied to defy a mark of 80 on her handicap debut. Deputy likely remains well treated if getting the race to suit, while Sir Maxi is worth keeping an eye on having just his second outing for George Boughey.
