Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 92| BF| D

7/1

3 wins from 9 runs this year, latest at Haydock in August. Below-par fourth of 6 in handicap (4/6) at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 9 days ago but the sort to bounce back.

Form: 221214

Devil's Angel¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 87| CD

10/1

C&D winner who got back on the up with ready success in 17-runner handicap (50/1) at Haydock (6f) 14 days ago. Holds good claims despite 7 lb rise.

Form: 508151

(5)

Mokaatil^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Planas⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 85| D

22/1

Scored at Epsom in April but he came in last of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (6f) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces refitted and needs to get back on track.

Form: 613440

(3)

Glamorous Breeze^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: William Cox| T: C Mason| OR: 82| D

5/1

Proved better than ever when landing 6-runner handicap at Salisbury (5f) 11 days ago. Up 4 lb but she can't be discounted in her current mood.

Form: 232121

(12)

Be Proud^p³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 82| CD

11/1

C&D winner but he's not the easiest to catch right and came in last of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (6f) 37 days ago. Cheekpieces back on but others appeal more.

Form: 355220

(7)

Recon Mission¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 82| CD

22/1

C&D winner in July but only seventh of 11 off 4 lb higher mark in handicap at Brighton (6f) 16 days ago. Work to do.

Form: 045217

Rambuso Creek¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 83| D

10/1

Got off the mark at Thirsk in June and in good nick since, poorly drawn when 13th of 17 to Devil's Angel in handicap at Haydock (6f) 14 days ago. Not written off.

Form: 3-51420

(8)

Treacherous⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: T E Whelan| T: E De Giles| OR: 78| BF

13/2

Winless since 2020 but he posted a creditable second of 9 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f) 6 days ago. Should be staying on late and no forlorn hope.

Form: 537842

(2)

The Thin Blue Line¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 77| D

7/1

In decent nick until only ninth of 13 to Silky Wilkie in handicap (6/1) at Haydock (5f) 14 days ago. Weighted to go well if shrugging off that effort.

Form: 232269

8/1

Got off the mark for 2022 at Musselburgh in July and backed it up with an excellent fourth of 20 in handicap at York (5f) 29 days ago, nearest finish. Player eased 1 lb now.

Forecasts

Glamorous Breeze (5/1), Lord Riddiford (5/1), Edward Cornelius (13/2), Treacherous (13/2), The Thin Blue Line (7/1), Silky Wilkie (7/1), Primo's Comet (8/1), Devil's Angel (10/1), Rambuso Creek (10/1), Rayong (10/1), Be Proud (11/1), Mokaatil (22/1), Recon Mission (22/1), Barbill (25/1)

PRIMO'S COMET comes here on the back of an excellent fourth in a big field at York yet can race off a 1 lb lower mark so gets the nod in an open handicap. Devil's Angel was a ready scorer at Haydock a fortnight ago and this C&D winner is feared most ahead of top weight Lord Riddiford, who is weighted to have a say if bringing his A-game.
