Master Grey^p²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: R Coakley| T: B R Millman| OR: 59| D

25/1

Twenty one runs since last win in 2019. 5/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (13f) 27 days ago. Had previously proved consistent on turf and better showing not ruled out. Tongue tie left off.

Form: 234238

True Romance^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: G Lee| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 59| BF| C| D

5/1

Course winner. Latest win at Bath in July. 5/2, respectable 5¼ lengths sixth of 12 to Aljaryaal in handicap at this course (12.2f) 21 days ago, left poorly placed. Type to bounce back quickly.

Form: 961526

The Resdev Way³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: P J McDonald| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 58| C| D

22/1

Course winner. Last of 11 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, soft, 8/1) 34 days ago, dropping away early final circuit. Not the easiest to assess here but last success did come here at least.

Form: 5-36130

Army Of One²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Ellie Mackenzie⁽⁵⁾| T: M Hunt| OR: 57

18/1

First run since leaving Dr Richard Newland when 4½ lengths fifth of 12 to Aljaryaal in handicap at this course (12.2f) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Fact he remains a maiden is off-putting however.

Form: 275-645

(12)

Aljaryaal²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: J Parr| OR: 60| C

5/6

Low-mileage sort who left previous exploits in his wake when running out a good winner over 12f here for new yard 3 weeks ago, staying on to lead last ½f. Of interest again up further in trip.

Form: 070-61

(9)

Ocean Reach^t⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: R J Price| OR: 50

80/1

Shed maiden tag at Ffos Las (12f) in August. 9/2,not in same form when fourth of 7 in 14f handicap back at that venue later that month. Others preferred on return from a short break.

Form: 0-62314

Blueskyandsunshine²⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 50

40/1

Maiden over hurdles/on Flat who was easy to back and never figured over 9.5f here when last seen in April, slowly in to stride and racing wide. Market may prove best guide on return to action.

Form: 8859

(7)

This Ones For Fred¹⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 56| BF

9/2

Maiden who filled runners-up spot on each of his last 2 starts on turf this summer, latterly at Musselburgh (12.5f) in August. Has since joined another good yard and one to bear in mind up in trip.

Form: 003622

(5)

Jenny Ren³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 48

16/1

Very good third of 10 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 30 days ago, effort over 1f out and keeping on. Mark unchanged and she rates a live each-way player again.

Form: 5/90-393

(6)

Steel Helmet¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Bethell| OR: 47

66/1

Successful 3 times at up to 2m on all weather during 2019. Seen just 3 times since though, well held on back of 15 months off at Newcastle (12.5f) 17 days ago. Possible he'll be sharper for that now.

Form: 115/03-0

(1)

Ocho Grande⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁷⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 47

33/1

Unreliable sort. Ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (16.6f, 66/1) 76 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 365-409

(2)

Danking²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: William Carson| T: A Crook| OR: 46

28/1

28/1, fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 28 days ago, no extra final 1f. Eased further 1 lb ahead of this but others make more appeal.

Form: 874394

(10)

Intoxication³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: M D I Usher| OR: 46

25/1

Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 8/1) 31 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others have achieved more.

Form: 968430

Forecasts

Aljaryaal (5/6), This Ones For Fred (9/2), True Romance (5/1), Jenny Ren (16/1), Army Of One (18/1), The Resdev Way (22/1), Master Grey (25/1), Intoxication (25/1), Danking (28/1), Ocho Grande (33/1), Blueskyandsunshine (40/1), Steel Helmet (66/1), Ocean Reach (80/1)

ALJARYAAL showed improved form when making a winning stable debut over shorter here 3 weeks ago, doing well to overhaul one who had gone clear turning for home. A low-mileage sort, he may do better again now his stamina is drawn out further and earns the vote. Master Grey, This Ones For Fred and True Romance head up the dangers.
