40/1

33/1, pulled up in claiming hurdle at Bellewstown (20f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Noel C. Kelly. Poor on last Flat outing. Plenty to prove.

Form: 474/00-0

Seal Of Solomon^v²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 70| D

6/1

3 wins from 9 runs this year, latest at Yarmouth in August. Couldn't complete the hat-trick there last time but wasn't disgraced in a race where things didn't really go his way. Worth another chance off his current mark.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 67

At Liberty⁹

3/1

Proved at least as good as ever when second of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Leicester (10f, good) 9 days ago, suited by way race developed. Shortlist material.

Janus^v³³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: S Hodgson| OR: 60| D

10/1

Engrave^p³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 60| CD

7/2

5-time C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021 but on a good mark and again ran respectably when third of 11 in C&D handicap 30 days ago. Should remain competitive.

Travesuras¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: C Fellowes| OR: 64| BF

7/2

Winner at Windsor in July. Creditable third of 14 in handicap (3/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good) 19 days ago, running on. Handy 3 lb claimer now takes over in the saddle and seems likely to give another good account.

Forecasts

At Liberty (3/1), Travesuras (7/2), Engrave (7/2), Seal Of Solomon (6/1), I Am The Sea (7/1), Salonica (8/1), Janus (10/1), Taskheer (10/1), Liberated Lad (16/1), Cavalluccio (20/1), Longclaw (40/1)

TRAVESURAS has been shaping up well recently and, with an excellent 3 lb claimer now taking over in the saddle, he's fancied to notch a second win. At Liberty proved at least as good as ever when runner-up at Leicester last week and is much respected off the same mark, while Seal of Solomon is worth another chance having not been seen to best effect in his hat-trick bid at Yarmouth.
