22/1

Won 11-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm, 22/1) 4 days ago. 4 lb penalty to carry back on the AW but this isn't a deeper race.

Mitrosonfire¹⁹

8/1

Seven wins from 25 Flat runs. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 13/2) 19 days ago. Rare AW start but he's fully effective on it.

Natural Path^t,v¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: K Shoemark| T: M L W Bell| OR: 86| D

12/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 15/2 and visored for first time, good third of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 14 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and isn't an easy one to assess.

Marshal Dan²¹

25/1

Last of 14 in handicap (17/2) at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal so that run ca be excused in isolation.

(8)

Mojomaker^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 88

11/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Good second of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 8/1) 21 days ago but previous AW form hardly sets the pulse racing.

Form: 428422

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C Hills| OR: 87| D

6/1

10/1

Three wins from 10 runs this year. 10/3, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 12 days ago. Doing very little wrong for current yard.

Form: 941711

Straits Of Moyle³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Robinson| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85| D

28/1

Latest win at Haydock in July. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 16/1) 33 days ago. This is slightly easier.

Form: 24-2715

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 82| D

11/2

18/1

Winner at Newbury in May. 12/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago. Good test at 6f will suit.

Form: 5465-14

Vince Lombardi⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 71| D

5/2

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (3/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 6 days ago, comfortably. Carries penalty but demands respect on the back of that impressive display.

Form: 14-3581

(14)

Thaki^t⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 72| CD

Forecasts

Vince Lombardi (5/2), Badri (11/2), Loves Me Likearock (6/1), Aberama Gold (15/2), Mitrosonfire (8/1), True Mason (10/1), Mojomaker (11/1), Natural Path (12/1), Thaki (18/1), Sergeant Tibbs (18/1), Mokaatil (22/1), Marshal Dan (25/1), Straits Of Moyle (28/1), Barbill (33/1)

Competitive stuff, with VINCE LOMBARDI taken to supplement his smooth Carlisle win under a penalty given a strong pace seems on the cards. Badri has been in excellent order at Southwell of late and is feared, along with True Mason, another bang in-form runner.
