Glamorous Breeze^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁵⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 82| BF| D

10/3

Latest win at Salisbury in August. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good, 4/1) 13 days ago, slowly away. Looks vulnerable under top-weight.

Form: 1212D3

Speedacus^v1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Hart| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81| D

14/1

Latest win at Navan in July. First run since leaving Kieran Patrick Cotter when tenth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good, 11/1) 12 days ago. Visor on 1st time and a bold show could be on the way.

Lipsink^v¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁵⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 79| D

11/2

Latest win at Windsor in August. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 9/1) 12 days ago. Remains on a feasible mark and likely to be in the thick of things.

May Blossom^v¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77| D

12/1

Latest win at Beverley in August. Bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap (8/1) at Ripon (5f, good) 10 days ago, never nearer. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Speedacus.

Eeh Bah Gum³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 76| D

15/2

Three wins from 12 runs this year. 9/1, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Haydock (5f, firm) 32 days ago. More needed up 5 lb but couldn't rule out in current form.

Form: 122011

Four Adaay¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Ross Coakley| T: B R Millman| OR: 74| D

13/2

Latest win at Nottingham in May. Respectable third of 9 in handicap (13/2) at Southwell (5f) 13 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter if she's to get her head in front here but each-way claims nonetheless.

Stone Circle²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: M L W Bell| OR: 74| BF| D

8/1

Three wins from 12 runs this year, the latest at Yarmouth in August. 2 lengths seventh of 10 to Haveoneyerself in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good, 7/2) 21 days ago. Down 1 lb but may still be a shade too high in the weights.

Form: 110167

Showalong^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 71| D

18/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, last of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good) 12 days ago. Has dipped to a potentially handy mark but needs to bounce back in a major way.

Form: 040969

(7)

Alcazan¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: R A Teal| OR: 71

4/1

Six wins from 22 Flat runs. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Goodwood (6f, good, 6/1) 13 days ago, keeping on well. Can make presence felt.

Form: 358341

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: David Egan| T: J Butler| OR: 70| D

25/1

Won 10-runner handicap (6/1) at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) 21 days ago but more one his plate up 3 lb in this stronger race.

Forecasts

Glamorous Breeze (10/3), Alcazan (4/1), Lipsink (11/2), Four Adaay (13/2), Eeh Bah Gum (15/2), Stone Circle (8/1), May Blossom (12/1), Speedacus (14/1), Showalong (18/1), Haveoneyerself (25/1), Amor De Mi Vida (50/1)

It may be worth siding with SPEEDACUS, who dropped out of contention after showing plenty of early toe over 6f at Pontefract on debut for David O'Meara. He can be expected to come on for that run (first outing for 11 weeks) and better is expected back at the minimum trip with a visor enlisted. Lipsink remains on a handy mark and is feared having put in a good shift at Southwell recently, while Alcazan, a winner at Goodwood last time, and the hat-trick seeking Eeh Bah Gum are also considered.
