Alpha King¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: P & J Clutterbuck| OR: 75

22/1

Irresolute performer who scored at Yarmouth in June, then went off too hard at Ffos Las 15 days ago. Hard to know what sort of form he'll show up in, though.

Form: 433315

Simply Sondheim⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 76| D

1/1

Highly progressive 3yo who returned from a break with a smooth display to pick up his fifth success of the campaign. Every chance he can defy a penalty.

Form: 711111

Savrola¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: N Callan| T: C F Wall| OR: 76| BF

2/1

Opened his account at Haydock in July and backed it up with a solid showing when second at Windsor last time. Likely to get the longer trip, and he should go on improving.

Form: 69612

Yarralumla²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 74

5/1

9/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 32-2366

(2)

Super Chief²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 72

12/1

Has taken small steps forward with each run and, on pedigree (brother to Megallan), he should be much better than his opening mark, so he's worthy of consideration.

Form: 035

Simply Sondheim (1/1), Savrola (2/1), Yarralumla (5/1), Taravara (5/1), Super Chief (12/1), Alpha King (22/1)

SIMPLY SONDHEIM has done nothing but improve all season and he was firmly on top at the line when back from a break at Newcastle recently. He's fancied to defy a penalty at the possible expense of Savrola. The well-bred Super Chief is also considered.
