Aaddeey^t1⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: R L Moore| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 99| D

2/1

Low-mileage 4-y-o who again shaped encouragingly despite blowing the start when 6 lengths fourth of 12 at Goodwood (14f, heavy) in July. Drop back in trip fine and of interest from this sort of mark.

Form: 3-21574

(4)

Rhythmic Intent⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: P J McDonald| T: S C Williams| OR: 98| C| D

3/1

Useful horse who confirmed promise of recent runs when landing Mallard handicap over extended 14f here last month. Career-high mark to defy now but he should give another good account.

Form: 602751

(5)

Cockalorum¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 97

22/1

Successful twice during the spring and better efforts in defeat next 3 starts (including when runner-up in John Smith's Cup). However, below par of late and others more persuasive.

Form: 123388

(6)

Dark Jedi¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 95| D

17/2

Regained winning thread at Ripon (12f) in July and acquitted himself with credit from higher marks in handicaps since. Only midfield at York (10.2f) last time but bounce back not ruled out.

Form: 133436

(3)

King Of The South^v²¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 94| BF| D

12/1

Progressive campaigned solely on AW to date, enhancing good strike rate at Newcastle (12.5f) in February. Creditable third back there in March and not ruled out if proving as effective on turf.

Form: 112-213

(2)

Apparate¹⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 94| C| D

7/2

Signed off light 2020 campaign with success in Mallard handicap here in September. Shaped as though he'd come forward for his Newmarket return in May and claims for all he's again been absent since.

Form: 210/71-5

(7)

United Front^h¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ray Dawson| T: M Appleby| OR: 90

9/1

Proved better than ever when scoring at Chelmsford (10f) in April and not disgraced on each of last 3 starts on turf in recent weeks. Goes up in trip now but all 3 victories have come on all weather.

Form: 310263

Forecasts

Aaddeey (2/1), Rhythmic Intent (3/1), Apparate (7/2), Dark Jedi (17/2), United Front (9/1), King Of The South (12/1), Cockalorum (22/1)

AADDEEY not for the first time shaped encouragingly when fourth over further at Goodwood in July, doing good work to get involved on the back of a slow start before those exertions told late in the day. This ease back in trip will hold no fears and he's one to be interested in from this sort of mark. Rhythmic Intent, who landed the Mallard here last month, and Apparate head up the dangers.
