Talbeyah^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 94| D

7/1

Progressed again for win number 2 on sole handicap start at Salisbury in June (9.9f). Hasn't looked totally straightforward in listed company since and looks high-enough in the weights.

Form: 5-14164

(8)

Achelois⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: A M Balding| OR: 93| D

11/2

Progressive form since her return, taking another step forward when recording win number 3 in good style at Goodwood (9.9f). Nothing wrong with latest York third and drop back to this trip will suit.

Form: 513113

(7)

Aunty Bridy^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S W Kelly| T: W J Haggas| OR: 93

80/1

Tongue strap on for first time when a very good fourth of 12 in handicap at York (10.2f) in August, particularly as she was slowly away. Without that aid when dropping right out at Yarmouth.

Form: 2-08740

Via Sistina⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: J Tuite| OR: 89| D

12/1

All the better for a considerate ride on debut when landing 5-runner novice at Goodwood in May. Too free in a French Group 2 in July and opening mark demands more.

Form: 310

The Flying Ginger¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 89| D

22/1

Cut no ice in listed company a couple of times in July prior to springing a surprise back in a handicap at York the following month. Fared about as well as could be expected at Ayr latest.

Form: 185616

Ensemble⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K Shoemark| T: R Varian| OR: 88| BF

14/1

Essentially outclassed the opposition when off the mark at the third attempt at Lingfield in August (1m). Runner-up over same C&D on handicap now soon after and now up in trip back on turf.

Form: 9-212

(9)

Alpine Mistral^p,t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S L Keightley| OR: 83| D

40/1

One of the most progressive 3-y-os around last season, winning 5 of her 8 handicap starts. Back to best when third at Sandown last month and return to this trip will suit.

Form: 41-5743

(4)

Swoon⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 86

8/1

Very progressive form this summer, making second start a winning one at Wolverhampton before a decisive all-the-way success at Carlisle. In top hands and totally unexposed, so has to be shortlisted.

Form: 611

(2)

Evident Beauty³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R L Moore| T: W J Haggas| OR: 86| BF

6/1

Landed a Newbury novice (1m) on debut in June. Hasn't quite scaled the heights expected since, albeit placed all 3 starts and she remains of plenty of interest for top yard.

Form: 1322

(13)

Great Vibes¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 86

80/1

Nursery winner on the July Course last summer. Well held in Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster on only subsequent 2-y-o start for George Scott but di shape with promise on last month's return.

Form: 5317-4

(10)

Ms Gandhi²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 85| D

8/1

Displayed a willing attitude when off the mark at the fifth attempt at Ripon in August. Up 6 lb and matched that level when third at Doncaster.

Form: 643-213

(12)

State Occasion²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 84

9/2

Signed off 2020 with 1m nursery win at Kempton in October. Restricted to just 2 runs this term but shaped with plenty of promise on each occasion and this trip could unlock more.

Form: 5321-32

(6)

Princess Nadia¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: M Dwyer| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 81| D

12/1

Made most of a good opportunity at Newbury in July. Sound-enough efforts in handicaps since and return to this trip won't inconvenience.

Form: 32124

(1)

Atavique^v¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-1| J: Hayley Turner| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 70| D

22/1

Opened her account in handicap company on the July Course (Ms Gandhi second). Subsequent efforts suggest assessor has her about right.

Form: 732144

Forecasts

State Occasion (9/2), Achelois (11/2), Evident Beauty (6/1), Talbeyah (7/1), Swoon (8/1), Ms Gandhi (8/1), Via Sistina (12/1), Princess Nadia (12/1), Ensemble (14/1), The Flying Ginger (22/1), Atavique (22/1), Alpine Mistral (40/1), Great Vibes (80/1), Aunty Bridy (80/1)

Competitive stuff, with STATE OCCASION given the nod. She has shaped with plenty of promise both outings this term and her brother took off at around this sort of trip, which must augur well for her relishing this increased emphasis on stamina. Swoon and Evident Beauty are unexposed for top yards and have to command respect, along with Achelois.
