15/8

Unexposed sort who struck at Doncaster (1m) in July. Another good effort there when fourth in a classified event at the St Leger meeting and he's fancied to feature in this.

Curtiz¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: George Rooke| T: H Morrison| OR: 66| CD

Hurricane Helen^b1³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: T E Whelan| T: B R Millman| OR: 66| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Bath in July. Virtually refused to race after the stalls opened in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good, 9/1) 37 days ago (unseated rider soon after start). Blinkers on 1st time but tough to put much faith in her.

Form: 31313U

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: A West| OR: 66

7/1

Still to get her head in front but posted creditable third of 7 in 1m handicap at Epsom earlier this month. Possibly found race coming too soon just 6 days later at Sandown and could resume her progress today.

33/1

Forecasts

Youarenotforgiven (15/8), Curtiz (5/2), Big Bear Hug (7/1), Codify (7/1), Fitzrovia (8/1), Faithful Spirit (11/1), Hurricane Helen (12/1), Rival (18/1), V Twelve (18/1), Satellite Call (33/1), Ladypacksapunch (80/1), My Friend Woody (80/1)

Cases can be made for several but preference is for CURTIZ. Hughie Morrison's charge is yet to get his head in front this year but there were definite signs of a revival at Epsom earlier this month and, having dropped a shade further in the weights, he gets the verdict. Youarenotforgiven, Codify and Big Bear Hug look the main threats in that order.
