Lord Neidin⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 86

7/1

Latest win at Pontefract in June. Bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 7/1) 46 days ago. Up in trip here and others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Form: 671465

Fantasy Believer²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 86

9/1

14/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at Goodwood (9f, good to firm) 26 days ago, slowly away. That was a step back in the right direction and he's an each-way player off the same mark.

Form: 708893

The City's Phantom⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Angus Villiers⁽³⁾| T: R Spencer| OR: 85| D

16/1

Latest win at Yarmouth in April. Fifth of 6 in handicap (6/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, firm) 50 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good here.

Form: 80-1265

Fierospeed⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 82| D

4/1

Three wins from 10 runs this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in September. 9/2, good third of 11 in handicap at back there (9.5f) 7 days ago and he has to be taken seriously.

Form: 435313

Rains Of Castamere²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon| OR: 81

20/1

Six wins from 19 Flat runs. Latest win at Haydock in June. 8/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Up in trip now and he looks vulnerable.

Form: 321676

Andaleep^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: D C Costello| T: F O'Brien| OR: 78| D

11/1

Latest win at Sandown in July. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (11f) 19 days ago, left poorly placed. First run for yard after leaving Graeme McPherson. and he's not ruled out.

Form: 514035

Knowing²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: A J Farragher⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 75| D

4/1

Latest win at Epsom in September. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good, 7/1) 22 days ago. One or two of the others make more appeal.

Form: 3-08414

Zambezi Magic^h³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 73| D

16/1

11/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, good to soft) 37 days ago, running on. Mark unchanged and he's worth considering from an each-way perspective.

Form: 054523

Millions Memories⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Charlie Bennett| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 72| D

18/1

Latest win at Chepstow in June. Very good second of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Goodwood (11.2f, good to firm) 41 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Another bold show could be on the way.

Form: 0-91372

Dream Machine^t,v⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 72| D

25/1

12/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, good to soft) 53 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark, but others make greater appeal all the same.

Form: 520/0-45

(11)

Glencora³²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-3| J: J F Egan| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 67| D

8/1

Seventh of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Yarmouth (11.5f, good) 32 days ago. Largely consistent this season, but she's probably a shade too high in the weights for now.

Form: 332737

Carp Kid^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: J L Flint| OR: 66| BF| D

7/1

Creditable second of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good, 7/2) 21 days ago, never nearer. Remains on a workable mark and shouldn't be far away.

Forecasts

Knowing (4/1), Fierospeed (4/1), Celtic Art (6/1), Carp Kid (7/1), Lord Neidin (7/1), Glencora (8/1), Dartington (8/1), Fantasy Believer (9/1), Andaleep (11/1), Zambezi Magic (16/1), The City's Phantom (16/1), Millions Memories (18/1), Rains Of Castamere (20/1), Dream Machine (25/1)

On the proviso that the ground remains on the fast side, MILLIONS MEMORIES gets the nod. He was arguably unlucky not to get his head back in front at Goodwood and remains on a feasible mark. Fierospeed arrives here in good form, but his best efforts to date have come on the all-weather and a bigger threat may be posed by Celtic Art, who found just one too good at Newmarket last time.
