Pride Of Priory⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 98| BF| D

10/3

Completed a hat-trick at Ascot in August. Didn't enjoy the best of runs when seventh of 15 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to soft) 44 days ago so he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 001117

Tritonic¹⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A King| OR: 98

6/1

Bounced back to form when second of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good, 9/2). Off 162 days but he's still not taken lightly.

Ajero^t⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: David Egan| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 98| BF| C

11/4

Course winner in July. Not seen to best effect when twelfth of 15 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 4/1) 50 days ago so he needs considering.

Form: 222210

(5)

On To Victory⁹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A King| OR: 94| D

28/1

Smart dual purpose performer at his best but he went backwards from his reappearance fifth when last of 17 in Old Newton Cup at Haydock in July. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 2509-50

(3)

Saratoga Gold^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: C Hills| OR: 90| C| D

9/2

In fine form since the blinkers went on and he completed his hat-trick at Epsom (12f, good, 5/2) 14 days ago. Up 5 lb but this course winner is a player once more.

Form: 568111

(1)

Goshen¹⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 87| BF| D

5/1

Classy hurdler who resumed in this sphere with respectable third of 8 in handicap here (16f, good to soft) in May. Can't be discounted after a break.

Form: 11163/3

(6)

Torcello^t1²³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: S Lycett| OR: 86| CD

16/1

Won this event 12 months ago but he arrives out of sorts, last of 10 in handicap at Newbury (12f) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time and needs to get back on track.

Form: 510-600

Forecasts

Ajero (11/4), Pride Of Priory (10/3), Saratoga Gold (9/2), Goshen (5/1), Tritonic (6/1), Soto Sizzler (14/1), Torcello (16/1), On To Victory (28/1)

Course scorer SARATOGA GOLD hasn't looked back since the blinkers went on and is fancied to extend his winning sequence to 4 at the chief expense of Pride of Priory, who wasn't seen to best effect at Hamilton last time. The returning duo Tritonic and Goshen appeal as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.
