Mighty Gurkha^b⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 95| CD

10/3

Useful front runner who won an AW Group 3 over C&D last autumn. No more than a fair effort again when seventh of 11 in listed race at Bro Park (6f, good) 45 days ago. Interesting on handicap debut.

Form: 2-12404

Capote's Dream⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: T Ward| OR: 92| CD

4/1

Proved better than ever to pick up a fifth win of the season in 14-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 93 days ago, suited by way race developed. Sure to give another good account.

Beyond Equal¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: W S Kittow| OR: 88| D

7/1

Gained first win since summer of 2019 in taking style at Salisbury (5f) in June. Respectable efforts since, but only thirteenth in blinkers at Haydock (6f, 14/1) 19 days ago. Can get back on track.

Huraiz⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 85| D

5/1

Losing run stretches back to 2019 but better signs of late, suited by the step back up in trip when third of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 48 days ago. He's one to bear in mind.

Form: 045583

Global Warning¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 83| D

15/2

Shaped as if sharper for the run after 4 months off when ninth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 22/1) 15 days ago. Now below his last winning mark so merits consideration with a run under his belt.

Marks Bear⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S W Kelly| T: G & J Moore| OR: 83| D

10/1

Latest win at Lingfield in August. 4/1, excuses when seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 69 days ago, (reportedly bled). Each-way claims.

Form: 1-47217

Enduring⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 78| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Confirmed return to form when fifth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 5 days ago. Usually goes well here so not discounted down in grade.

Forecasts

Mighty Gurkha (10/3), Dusky Lord (7/2), Enduring (4/1), Capote's Dream (4/1), Huraiz (5/1), Beyond Equal (7/1), Global Warning (15/2), Marks Bear (10/1)

Racing on the wrong part of the track was a plausible excuse for BEYOND EQUAL failing to land a blow sporting first-time blinkers at Haydock 19 days ago. With usual pilot Rob Hornby back on board, Stuart Kittow's charge is taken to notch a first victory on the all-weather. Mighty Gurkha may provide the biggest danger making his handicap debut, with Global Warning next on the list.
