Manumission⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 55

11/4

Career best when winning 18-runner handicap (15/8) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. In the mix again saddling a 5 lb penalty.

Form: 851221

Voltaic²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Emma Taff⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59

9/1

It's now thirteen runs since last win in 2019 but creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 21 days ago, nearest finish. Unreliable individual, though.

Inner Circle²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Mr Cameron Hillhouse⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 59| CD

16/1

Latest win at Chepstow in July. Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, firm, 12/1) 21 days ago. C&D winner too, so not taken lightly.

Fast Emma²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 60| D

40/1

2 wins from 5 runs this year but only seventh of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 26 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 4-11037

Spanish Mane^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Rose Dawes⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 57| CD

10/1

Landed this contest 12 months ago and teed herself up nicely for a repeat bid with good fifth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, firm, 10/1) 22 days ago. Has dropped to a handy mark too. Player.

Form: 10-6945

Foreseeable Future^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 57

5/2

Seventeen runs since last win in 2017 but arrives on back of very good third of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Enters calculations.

Form: 368093

Global Hope^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 56

33/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2020. 28/1, only sixth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, firm) 22 days ago, so others appeal more.

Winklemann^p²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Miss Imogen Mathias⁽³⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 55| CD

22/1

C&D winner. 80/1, very good fourth of 13 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, firm) 21 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 04-2864

Plastic Paddy³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 57

15/2

Not knocked about when sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 7/1) 36 days ago. Still low mileage, and worth considering for good yard.

Form: 6-66406

(9)

Amal¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Liam Browne| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 54| D

14/1

Arrives in decent nick, third of 7 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good) 14 days ago. Respected.

Form: 096443

Fact Or Fable^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Sophie Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 45| D

66/1

Only one win from 35 Flat runs, and below-par seventh of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 19 days ago. More is needed.

Cammy^p1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁵⁾| T: S Whitaker| OR: 48

66/1

50/1, first run since leaving Philip Kirby when modest sixth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces on now but easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Foreseeable Future (5/2), Manumission (11/4), Royal Prospect (7/1), Plastic Paddy (15/2), Voltaic (9/1), Spanish Mane (10/1), Amal (14/1), Inner Circle (16/1), Winklemann (22/1), Miss Trixie (25/1), Global Hope (33/1), Ruby Lily (33/1), Fast Emma (40/1), Fact Or Fable (66/1), Cammy (66/1)

A case can be made for a few of these, but last year's winner SPANISH MANE looks the way to go given she has dropped to a handy mark and also shaped encouragingly when fifth at Yarmouth last time. Carlisle-scorer Royal Prospect rates the chief threat, while Foreseeable Future needs considering too on the back of his excellent Thirsk third.
