5/2, again ran well when third of 7 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Merits consideration.
|
C&D winner earlier in the month. Ran at least as well the following week when second of 12 in handicap (5/2) at Thirsk (8f, good) 15 days ago, edged out only close home. Respected.
|
C&D winner. Well below form when tenth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm, 14/1) 23 days ago. Now 5 lb below his last winning mark but needs to get back on track.
|
C&D winner in June. However, has struggled for form since his next start, last of 11 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to firm, 22/1) 7 days ago. Has enough to prove at present.
|
Back down markedly in trip with cheekpieces reapplied, got back on the up when second of 7 in handicap (8/1) at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago, clear of the rest. Leading contender.
|
Course winner. Successful at Ayr in July and has been placed both starts since, third of 9 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm, 10/1) 9 days ago. Can give his running again.
|
25/1, failed to build on minor promise of his Ascot run when twelfth of 18 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Has work to do.
|
All 5 career wins on the all-weather, successful at Newcastle in March. 14/1, ran well on first turf start for almost a year when third of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good) 15 days ago. More needed.
|
6/5, didn't need to be at best to get off the mark in 8-runner minor event at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 30 days ago. Could have more to offer as he now makes his handicap debut.
|
13/2 and visored for 1st time, third of 5 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 18 days ago. Has been holding his form well, but looks vulnerable again for win purposes off his current mark.
|
2 wins from 6 runs this year, successful at this C&D in April and Newcastle in May. Below form last 2 starts though, fourth of 5 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm, 10/1) 19 days ago.

Forecasts
Diamondonthehill (4/1), Pisanello (4/1), Willard Creek (7/1), Chief Of Staff (15/2), Animal Instinct (8/1), Under Fox (8/1), Star Shield (12/1), Copper And Five (12/1), Millionaire Waltz (12/1), Dougies Dream (16/1), Cassy O (25/1)
CHIEF OF STAFF bounced back to form dropped 3f in trip and with cheekpieces reapplied when runner-up at Newbury last time, finishing clear of the rest while the winner was completing a hat-trick. The 4-y-o can build on that effort to get his head back in front again, though heading the list of dangers is the dual course-winner Diamondonthehill. Pisanello completes the shortlist.
