Jumby²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 112| CD

6/1

Likeable type who gained a fifth career success in the Hungerford Stakes over C&D in August. Failed to fire behind Kinross in the City of York but that may have come too soon and he's very likely to bounce back. Must concede weight all round.

Form: 633019

Saleymm^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 103| D

10/3

Handicap winner at York in July and made the most of what turned out to be a good opportunity in 3-runner minor event at Haydock a fortnight ago. This asks a different question.

Form: 251001

Shine So Bright^h¹²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 106| D

14/1

Smart type who returned as good as ever when scoring at Newmarket a couple of times in the spring fitted with a hood (beat Saleymm latest). Off 4 months since, but he clearly goes well fresh, so merits serious consideration.

Form: 4440-11

(6)

Tacarib Bay^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 105| D

6/1

Back in a handicap and doubled career tally in 12-runner contest at Haydock in July. Has remained in form since, bumping into a smart sort at that venue a fortnight ago. Back down in trip now and likely to give his running.

Form: 001252

Sacred^t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 111| BF| CD

10/11

Classy 3-y-o, successful in the Nell Gwyn, and Hungerford Stakes over C&D. Better than the result first 2 outings this term, but disappointed in City of York last time. Massive player on these terms if bouncing back.

Form: 171-556

Heat Of The Moment¹²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 97

33/1

Half-sister to several winners and promising start to her career when quickening nicely to land a 6f Yarmouth novice on debut in October. Pitched in deep both runs this spring and remains something of an unknown quantity.

Form: 1-60

(4)

Siamsa⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: David Egan| T: R Hannon| OR: 83| D

125/1

Established as a fairly useful handicapper so set for a struggle.

Form: 37-5666

Forecasts

Sacred (10/11), Saleymm (10/3), Tacarib Bay (6/1), Jumby (6/1), Shine So Bright (14/1), Heat Of The Moment (33/1), Siamsa (125/1)

SHINE SO BRIGHT was in top form fitted with a hood when last seen in the spring and given his record fresh, a subsequent absence is of no concern. He's therefore the most persuasive option, for all Sacred is favoured by these weights if back on her game. Of the rest, Tacarib Bay is likely to give his running again and could be in the mix.
