Equality³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C Hills| OR: 90| BF| CD

5/2

Followed clear-cut C&D reappearance success with a couple solid efforts in defeat, most notably when third in the 'Dash' at Epsom (5f. good). Much better than result at Ascot and Goodwood on last 2 starts and back on a favourable mark.

Form: 4-13300

Spring Bloom^p²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Eddery| OR: 88| BF| CD

7/1

Pair of C&D wins in July. Not seen to best effect on his hat-trick bid at Doncaster 4 weeks ago and treated as if still in form.

Form: 227110

Kimngrace^p1⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: R Hughes| OR: 87| BF

7/1

Built on encouraging reappearance when landing 6f fillies' handicap at Goodwood in June. Has remained in form since, finding just one too good on at Newmarket (5f) on Saturday. Cheekpieces on first time. Should be in the shake-up.

Form: 412522

Vintage Clarets⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: R A Fahey| OR: 84| D

12/1

Quite useful at 2 but has been undable to make an impact in 4 handicaps this summer. A 12-week break needs to have had a reviving effect.

Form: 69-0500

Rum Cocktail¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 83| D

14/1

Won at Goodwood in June. Respectable efforts in defeats since but doesn't obviously have much in hand of her mark.

Form: 2-61324

Glamorous Breeze^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: N Callan| T: C Mason| OR: 82| BF| D

7/2

Winner in small fields at Chepstow and Salisbury this summer. Another good run when second of 11 at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Races off the same mark here but a wide stall could make life awkward.

Form: 321212

Embour^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 80| C| D

25/1

Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 50/1) 19 days ago. Others are more obvious.

Form: 2-08360

Water Of Leith²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 76| BF| D

14/1

Successful over 6f at Carlisle in July (final start for Rebecca Menzies) and successful twice in quick succession for new yard at Ayr in August. Didn't enjoy the rub of the green at Carlisle last time and treated as if still in good form. On the shortlist.

Form: 812117

Yimou¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Nicola Currie| T: D K Ivory| OR: 72| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2020. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Sandown (5f, good) 12 days ago.

Form: 3-74503

Mythical Molly¹¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Ellison| OR: 70| D

40/1

Creditable fourth of 19 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to soft, 33/1) on reappearance in May but has been absent again since. Blinkers worn on his last 3 outings are left off.

Form: 41646-4

Albegone^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66| D

11/1

Creditable third of 12 in leg 5 of this series at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 28 days ago. That shows she's capable of being very competitive from her mark.

Form: 359373

Sixcor^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: A Mullen| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 62| BF| D

Forecasts

Equality (5/2), Glamorous Breeze (7/2), Kimngrace (7/1), Spring Bloom (7/1), Albegone (11/1), Vintage Clarets (12/1), Water Of Leith (14/1), Yimou (14/1), Rum Cocktail (14/1), Embour (25/1), Sixcor (33/1), Mythical Molly (40/1), Autumn Flight (50/1)

EQUALITY's slow starts are a bit of a concern but he's shaped much better than the result on his last 2 starts and has dipped to 4 lb lower than when placed in the Epsom Dash in June so he's taken to strike for London and the South back at the scene of his ready reappearance win in the spring. Water of Leith has thrived in recent months (had an excuse last time) nad heads the dangers along with the consistent Kimngrace.
