Prince Of Bel Lir^p³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: J P Spencer| T: J Parr| OR: 84| D

4/1

Won 3 out of his 6 starts this year (in cheekpieces), latest at Nottingham (6f) in June. Nearest at the finish when third at Epsom 5 weeks ago and no reason why he won't give another good account.

Counsel²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 80

2/1

Fairly useful sort who had much the best form and duly capitalised to open his account in Lingfield novice (7f, AW) 3 weeks ago, just needing to be kept up to work. Interesting connections drop him back to sprinting and he's one to consider.

Form: 253-251

Wajd^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Louis Steward| T: P Owens| OR: 82| CD

11/4

Yarmouth novice winner (6f) at 2 yrs who has stepped up with each outing this term, posting a career-best effort to land a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago, hitting the line strongly. 6 lb higher in this stronger race but unlikely she's reached her limit.

Form: 210-541

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: M Harley| T: M Crawley| OR: 77

28/1

Dual AW winner at 7f for Alan King who stopped very quickly (reportedly bled) when last of 9 at Leicester on sole start for Kevin Philippart de Foy in April. Market should guide on debut for new yard given he has gone well fresh previously. Hood fitted.

Form: 54765-9

Equiano Springs¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: T P Tate| OR: 76| CD

9/2

Fared best of those held up when fifth in 20-runner York handicap (6f) in July and similar form despite finishing fourth of 5 at Pontefract (6f) 3 weeks ago. 3-3 on the Rowley Mile course and he's not discounted for each-way purposes.

Form: 183-454

Beauty Choice^b1²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: W Jarvis| OR: 73| BF| D

8/1

5-y-o who ran creditably in handicaps here/Chelmsford at 7f but readily put in his place when race began in earnest when fourth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good) 22 days ago. Blinkers may put an extra edge on him now and booking of Buick catches the eye.

Form: 35-4344

Jack Ryan^b⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁵⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 50| D

66/1

Back to form in change of headgear (blinkered) to score at Southwell (6f) in April. Mixed bag since, seventh of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago, and no easy task here from well out of the weights.

Form: 250507

Forecasts

Counsel (2/1), Wajd (11/4), Prince Of Bel Lir (4/1), Equiano Springs (9/2), Beauty Choice (8/1), Aleatoric (20/1), Letmelivemylife (28/1), Jack Ryan (66/1)

COUNSEL got the job done with minimum fuss when opening his account in a Lingfield novice (7f) 3 weeks ago and could be the way to go now his sights are set on sprinting. 3-y-o Wajd looks the chief threat having scored in good style over C&D recently, ahead of Prince of Bel Lir.
