28/1

Useful at his best but off over 6 months before coming in only ninth of 11 in 10f handicap at Doncaster 16 days ago. Back down in trip with work to do.

Form: 220-069

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: P J McDonald| T: H Palmer| OR: 90| C

Kalganov⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 90

80/1

Useful performer in France for Fabrice Chappet (sold for €55,000 in July). Handicapper took no chances with his mark though, and he was well held on his British/stable debut at Doncaster 41 days ago. More is needed.

Form: 035434

Helm Rock^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Dylan Hogan| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 86| D

8/1

Dual winner around 9f at Carlisle and Wolverhampton in August. Posted another solid effort when ninth in 1m Kempton handicap last time so he's no forlorn hope.

Form: 531169

(10)

Croupier²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 89| D

7/1

Low-mileage 3-y-o who resumed winning ways in 1m handicap at Windsor 22 days ago. Can make his presence felt once more nudged up just 1 lb.

Form: 4412-31

(11)

Moon Watch²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽³⁾| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 89| BF| D

13/2

Made a winning debut in 1m maiden at Nottingham and still looked green when good second of 3 in 1m Newcastle novice 21 days ago. Player now going handicapping with more to come.

Form: 122

(8)

Amaysmont⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 84| D

28/1

Back to winning ways in 1m Newcastle handicap in June but only sixth there off a 7 lb higher mark following month. Needs to hit the ground running after his break.

Form: 305-816

(4)

Vintage Choice^h1¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A J Farragher⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 87| BF

7/1

Redcar maiden winner who returned with a solid second in 7f Wolverhampton novice. Gelded before below-par seventh on his handicap debut at Haydock in May. Worth another chance.

Form: 31-27

(5)

Proclaimer¹⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 81| D

25/1

Gained a remarkable seventh win from 8 starts in 1m Kempton handicap in April. Off the track since beating only one at Lingfield later that month but he can't be discounted after a break.

Form: 18-1110

(12)

Yaaser⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: J S Goldie| OR: 81| D

11/2

Already a four-time winner this year, latest coming in 7f handicap at Doncaster in August. Posted another solid effort when third of 14 at Newcastle (1m) 8 days ago so he needs considering.

Form: 211493

(2)

Garden Oasis^p⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 79| C| D

40/1

Off the mark for 2022 at Ripon in August but only eleventh of 15 at Pontefract (1m) 8 days ago. A course winner though so he could easily bounce back.

Form: 030170

(1)

Sucellus^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: George Rooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 78| CD

18/1

C&D winner in June who got back on track when third of 6 in 1m handicap here 20 days ago. Unreliable type on balance though.

Form: 601993

(9)

Delorean⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 82| CD

3/1

Progressive sort who landed 1m handicap here last month, despite still not looking the finished artticle. Has more to offer and very much one to consider despite taking a 4 lb rise.

Form: 2-331

(6)

Foden¹⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 81

11/1

Gelded and returned much improved with win in 7.4f handicap at Beverley in April. That form has worked out well so he's firmly in the picture despite having an absence to overcome.

Form: 31787-1

Forecasts

Delorean (3/1), Yaaser (11/2), Moon Watch (13/2), Vintage Choice (7/1), Croupier (7/1), Helm Rock (8/1), Foden (11/1), Sucellus (18/1), Amor Vincit Omnia (18/1), Proclaimer (25/1), Amaysmont (28/1), Bright Start (28/1), Garden Oasis (40/1), Kalganov (80/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but DELOREAN still looked something of a work in progress when getting off the mark here so he can make light of a 4 lb rise in the weights. Moon Watch also has better days ahead of him and is feared most, with last-time winners Croupier and Foden not taken lightly either.
