Thapa VC²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: M G Rimell| OR: 77| CD

7/2

Five wins from 16 Flat runs. 4 wins from 10 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (AW, 9/1) 25 days ago, quickening well to lead final 1f. Merits consideration from 3 lb higher mark.

Form: 447261

Under The Twilight⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: R Kingscote| T: T Ward| OR: 74| D

7/2

Latest win at Kempton in June and shaped much better than the bare result when seventh of 11 in handicap there (8f) 56 days ago, left poorly placed from bad draw. Has good chance on form.

Form: 413-017

Twilight Heir⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Cieren Fallon| T: S Durack| OR: 74| C

18/1

Course winner. Largely in good form this summer but disappointing when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm) 75 days ago. Others more persuasive on balance.

Form: 903250

Full Intention^p¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: J Mitchell| T: S Pearce| OR: 73| CD

28/1

C&D winner last term but hasn't beaten a rival in either of his last 2 outings and arrives with lots to prove now.

Form: 1-34650

Radetsky^e/s¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Joshua Bryan| T: B R Johnson| OR: 72| CD

50/1

3-time C&D winner. Shaped as if needing outing on first run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when last of 9 in claimer at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 16 days ago. Has work to do back in a handicap.

Form: 80-1459

Papa Cocktail⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Connor Planas⁽⁷⁾| T: Tom Clover| OR: 77| D

13/2

Good placed efforts over C&D on his last 2 outings, most recently second of 5 in handicap (AW, 5/4) 9 days ago, running on. Not taken lightly from same mark.

Form: 756532

Ford Madox Brown^p1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 72| BF| C| D

9/2

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021 but has produced four consecutive placed efforts recently, again running creditably when second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 3/1) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Frame claims again.

Form: 3-03322

George Morland⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 71| D

10/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 39/1, sole run for Mme G.Rarick when last of 18 in handicap at Deauville (6f, good) 45 days ago. Bit to prove now back with former yard.

Form: 057090

Silver Dollar¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: R Eddery| OR: 67| CD

10/1

3 wins from 10 runs this year. 8/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 15 days ago. Another good showing likely from 3 lb higher mark.

Form: 159561

Bethersden Boy³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Rooke| T: R Hughes| OR: 69

40/1

Badly out of sorts this season, only sixth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Hard to fancy at present.

Form: 840-076

(4)

Mabre⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P D Evans| OR: 63| C

14/1

Scored over 1m here in March. Good second of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Bath (8f, good to soft). Off 92 days. Frame claims back up in grade.

Form: 231852

Tyson¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 68

14/1

Came from long way back to grab fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, AW) 18 days ago. Every chance if back to best, with return to 7f looking within his reach.

Forecasts

Under The Twilight (7/2), Thapa VC (7/2), Ford Madox Brown (9/2), Papa Cocktail (13/2), George Morland (10/1), Silver Dollar (10/1), Tyson (14/1), Mabre (14/1), Twilight Heir (18/1), Fighting Temeraire (22/1), Full Intention (28/1), Bethersden Boy (40/1), Radetsky (50/1)

UNDER THE TWILIGHT remains fairly unexposed and is only 1 lb higher than for her Kempton win, so could represent value having not been seen to anywhere near best effect last time. Thapa Vc and Papa Cocktail have been in fine form over C&D of late and are big players, with Ford Madox Brown and Silver Dollar also considered.
