Fierospeed²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 79| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in April. 6/1, good third of 6 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good) 26 days ago. That form looks solid and he's a key player off an unchanged mark.

Form: 154353

Angel On High^b1²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: L Morris| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 79

12/1

17/2, good second of 6 in handicap at this course (14f) 20 days ago. 1 lb rise for that effort fair and now tried in blinkers, but this significant drop back in trip is of dubious benefit.

Form: 7-42962

Sir Edward Elgar¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 78

5/1

Ungenuine type. Good third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 3/1) 19 days ago, running on. This stiffer test shouldn't be an issue, but he's hardly a solid proposition.

Form: 3-13293

Pretty Sweet¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: G Boughey| OR: 78

9/4

Promising sort. Won 4-runner maiden at Bath (11.6f, firm, 4/6) 16 days ago. Unexposed and should have more to offer now handicapping off what looks a fair opening mark.

Form: 221

Arcadian Nights¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: M R Channon| OR: 77| CD

17/2

Course winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year, the latest here in September. 6/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 13 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 775118

Florence Street¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 67

7/2

Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Haydock (8.2f, firm) 16 days ago. Records stands at 0-9, but she shouldn't be far away if taking to this surface.

There should be more to come from unexposed handicap debutante PRETTY SWEET, who duly made it third time lucky in a Bath maiden recently. That was over 11.6f, but dropping in trip is unlikely to be an issue for this free-going sort. The form of Fierospeed's effort at Salisbury has been boosted by the two that finished in front of him and he is feared most ahead of Psyche and Florence Street.
