Enigmatic^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: K Stott| T: J Parr| OR: 80| D

17/2

Unreliable sort. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (1m, good) 20 days ago. This a slight drop in grade and he's been runner-up on both previous course starts.

Fiftyshadesofred^p1⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D Nolan| T: K Frost| OR: 79| C

25/1

Course winner on reappearance. Disappointing on turf since so needs a return to AW to help spark a revival. Also has cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 86-1006

(2)

Coase^h¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: F Norton| T: M Wigham| OR: 78| CD

9/1

C&D winner in March. Also successful on 3 other occasions in a busy 2022 but recent efforts suggest he may have gone off the boil.

Form: 377508

Scotch Mistress¹⁵

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

10/1

Latest win at Beverley in May. Off 4 months, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good) 15 days ago. Fresh for the time of year. Respected.

Form: 41-1824

North Lincoln¹⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 80| BF

7/1

AW novice winner in January. Good second on 7f Newmarket handicap debut and something can't have been right when well held there 12 days later. Returns from a 5-month break as an unexposed sort.

Form: 3-2127

Bertie's Wish²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: J Candlish| OR: 77

40/1

Off 468 days, first run since leaving Clive Cox when respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Wolverhampton (7f) 28 days ago. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 6/1197-6

Star Shield^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Mark Winn⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76| CD

13/2

C&D winner in January. Latest win at Ayr in July. 14/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Redcar (1m, good to soft) 10 days ago, running on. Shortlist material under a useful 5 lb claimer.

Form: 133295

Award Dancer¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 76| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Respectable 3¾ lengths third of 13 to Millionaire Waltz in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 18 days ago, caught further back than ideal.

Form: 61-1823

(1)

Strongbowe^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73| D

9/2

El Bello²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Walford| OR: 75| C

Tangled⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 72| D

11/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, fifteenth of 17 in handicap at Pontefract (1m, good) 8 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 743340

(9)

Rocket Rod¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: T Hamilton| T: G A Harker| OR: 72| CD

20/1

Three course wins this summer. Met plenty of trouble when down the field in C&D race won by Millionaire Waltz 18 days ago and treated as if still in form.

Forecasts

Award Dancer (10/3), Millionaire Waltz (7/2), Strongbowe (9/2), Star Shield (13/2), North Lincoln (7/1), Enigmatic (17/2), Coase (9/1), Scotch Mistress (10/1), Tangled (11/1), Rocket Rod (20/1), Fiftyshadesofred (25/1), El Bello (33/1), Bertie's Wish (40/1)

The suggestion is STAR SHIELD with Mark Winn taking a handy 5 lb off his back. Lightly-raced 3-y-o North Lincoln is interesting back from a break, while Millionaire Waltz's good course record makes him a must for the shortlist.
