3/1

9/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at York (6f, good) 15 days ago, likely to have been closer with a clear run. Good effort on penultimate outing, so one to consider.

Form: 0-37038

Nomadic Empire¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: W Buick| T: D O'Meara| OR: 93| D

7/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at York (6f, good, 14/1) 15 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 290207

11/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in August. 12/1, last of 5 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) 5 days ago. Has work to do.

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 80| D

8/1

Nine wins from 28 Flat runs. 2/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, won 5-runner handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Not ab obvious sort to follow up, but could get an easy lead.

Form: 543641

Faustus¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 81| BF| D

5/2

Latest win at Lingfield in June. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (5f) 18 days ago. Makes plenty of appeal.

Celsius^t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: Tom Clover| OR: 79| D

6/1

Untrustworthy individual. Eleven runs since last win in 2020. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm, 12/1) 16 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more persuasive.

Form: 08-5694

Forecasts

Faustus (5/2), First Edition (3/1), Nomadic Empire (7/2), Celsius (6/1), Ginger Jam (8/1), Newyorkstateofmind (11/1), Ishvara (20/1)

NOMADIC EMPIRE has been shaping well in stronger races and, with trouble-in-running unlikely in this small field, he's fancied to capitalise on this drop in grade. The bang-in-form Faustus looks a threat along with First Edition, who has refound his form lately.
