17/2

Proved better than ever to resume winning ways at Chelmsford in April. Returned from a break to finish a good second at Yarmouth last month but last of 6 at Haydock since. Hooded first time.

Prince Of Harts¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: David Egan| T: B R Millman| OR: 84| C| D

7/1

No show in 2 starts last year but back on track this term, capitalising on reduced mark at Windsor in August. Has shown enough in his 2 outings since to suggest he's still in form.

Form: 343163

Fairmac^b¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 86| BF| D

17/2

Has stood up well to a busy campaign, including two wins over this trip. Recent efforts creditable and likely to give another good account of himself under William Buick.

Glentaneous³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: B J Meehan| OR: 86

5/1

AW novice winner in February. Better than the result a couple of starts this summer but heavy defeat at Doncaster 35 days ago needs casting aside.

3/1

Winner at Salisbury in June and good second of 3 in handicap at Ayr (1¼m, good to soft) 65 days ago, though he hung left under pressure. Not discounted.

Legendary Day⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Morrison| OR: 83| BF| C

4/1

Won novice over 1m here in May and followed up in a Leicester handicap in June. Form of Newmarket third in July is solid and he's been given a break since a lesser run at Hamilton in August.

Form: 4-21139

Silver Gunn^h³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Botti| OR: 82| CD

6/1

Progressive 3-y-o who took another step forward when landing a third win of the campaign at Sandown (1¼m) in August. Met some trouble at Haydock since and treated as if still in form.

Form: 151219

Sandyman¹⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 76| D

18/1

Below form on his Newmarket reappearance for a new yard in May and he's been absent a further 5 months since. On a feasible mark but watching brief is the percentage call.

Forecasts

Kolisi (3/1), Legendary Day (4/1), Glentaneous (5/1), Silver Gunn (6/1), Prince Of Harts (7/1), Balgair (8/1), United Front (17/2), Fairmac (17/2), Sandyman (18/1)

Something can't have been right with LEGENDARY DAY last time. He's been freshened up since and his overall record suggests he could bounce straight back so he's fancied to provide Oisin Murphy with a winner as he bids to fend off William Buick's title challenge. Kolisi and Fairmac, the mount of Buick, could be the pair to give him most to do.
