Stormy Antarctic^t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 110| D

10/3

Smart gelding who resumed winning ways in 1¼m listed event at Goodwood in May. Back-to-form second in 1m Newmarket listed 25 days ago. Runner-up here in the spring. Should go well.

Form: 221492

Cap Francais³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 96| D

Useful gelding. First run since leaving Ed Walker when respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Newbury (1¼m, heavy) 32 days ago. Makes polytrack debut.

Form: 23-0544

Kenzai Warrior³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 99| CD

7/4

Group 3 winner at 2. Disappointed on next 5 starts but back on track after a break when leading late on in C&D handicap in September. Not disgraced in Balmoral at Ascot 17 days later.

Form: 608-P10

(9)

Misty Grey¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 104

13/2

Has done really for this yard, winning trio of 6/7f Wolverhampton handicaps at the end of 2020. Has reached the frame in a pair of 6f Lingfield listed events this year. Big chance if effective at 1m.

Form: 0111-34

Orbaan^t⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D O'Meara| OR: 93| D

14/1

Useful gelding. Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 7/1, fifth of 6 in conditions event at Lingfield (7f, AW) 4 days ago, unsuited by way race developed.

Form: 600235

Pistoletto^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Ryan| OR: 92| C| D

12/1

In a good vein of form, winning 3 of his last 4 AW starts, cosily seeing off 8 rivals over 1m at Lingfield last time. This a step up in class but respected in his current mood.

Form: 914141

Ananya^b1²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 92

50/1

Useful filly. 14¼ lengths eleventh of 12 to Maamora in listed race at Lingfield (1m, AW, 40/1) 27 days ago. Blinkers reached for on the back of that.

Form: 7/59330

(7)

Caspian Queen¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S Woods| OR: 87| C

40/1

Useful filly. Won 7f handicap here in May and got her head back in front in match race on turf in August. Below par in recent starts, though, and even a return to best is unlikely to be enough.

Form: 761433

(4)

Madame Tantzy^b¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 81| CD

80/1

C&D winner in 2019. Largely in good form on turf this year but well beaten in a listed event at Doncaster latest and she does have something to find at this level.

Form: 931120

(5)

Lady Rockstar^t⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 85

5/1

Going the right way, showing useful form with a tongue added when a 12-length winner of 8.6f Wolverhampton maiden last month. Makes polytrack debut with prospect of more to come.

Form: 4-23221

Forecasts

Kenzai Warrior (7/4), Stormy Antarctic (10/3), Lady Rockstar (5/1), Misty Grey (13/2), Pistoletto (12/1), Orbaan (14/1), Cap Francais (18/1), Caspian Queen (40/1), Ananya (50/1), Madame Tantzy (80/1)

The most solid option here is likeable-veteran STORMY ANTARCTIC who arrives on the back of a good run in similar company at Newmarket last time. Misty Grey is a major threat on form but his stamina does have to be taken on trust stepping back up to 1m. The unexposed Lady Rockstar and thriving Pistoletto look best of the remainder.
