Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁵⁾| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 84| CD

7/1

All 4 victories gained on AW (twice over C&D) but yet to hit top gear following a year on the sidelines, again proving too free when last of 9 over C&D in July. Does return with yard amongst the winners, though.

Form: 3176-09

10/1

Back to winning ways over C&D in April prior to 2 solid runners-up efforts on turf. Struggled to scale same heights more recently though, last of 9 in handicap at this course (6f) 28 days ago.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Ray Dawson| T: Rae Guest| OR: 82| CD

15/2

C&D winner who turned in best effort of the season to snap long losing run in 14-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 63 days ago, just holding on. Claims with a repeat from 3 lb higher mark.

Odisseo⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti| OR: 83| BF| D

12/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Gelded, again ran below form when fifth of 6 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 58 days ago, weakening over 1f out. However, not one to write off given his overall profile on AW is a positive one.

Form: 1-31565

Aldhaja¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: C Hills| OR: 82| D

11/2

All-weather novice winner (at 7f) who did well to double tally in 5-runner Haydock handicap (1m) in May given he was worst placed when tempo lifted. Mixed bag subsequently but he's still unexposed on artificial surfaces.

Form: 203900

Dynamic Talent^b,t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 82| D

4/1

3 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 13/2) 30 days ago, battling well. Assessor applies a little more pressure but he remains one to be firmly interested in.

Form: 187211

Big Narstie^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: R Spencer| OR: 78| D

17/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, 20/1) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and return to 7f rates a plus now.

Form: 4-63504

G'daay^b,h⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: J Parr| OR: 77| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Yarmouth (7f) in August. 8/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 45 days ago, weakening inside final 1f. Still, his record here is a positive one.

Form: 412917

Little Prayer^b⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Spencer| OR: 77| D

25/1

Latest win at Lingfield (7f) in June. Fifth of 8 in handicap back at that venue (7f, AW) 65 days ago, outpaced from 2f out. Break may have perked her up.

Form: 371785

Puffing²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 76| D

14/1

Made a winning start with a bit up her sleeve at Kempton (7f) in December. Better for return when fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago and she remains unexposed.

Form: 1-95

(4)

Roman Dynasty¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: E J Walsh| T: J Parr| OR: 74

12/1

One win from 21 Flat runs. Below form sixth of 13 in handicap at this course (1m) 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 033386

Forecasts

Dynamic Talent (4/1), Aldhaja (11/2), Margub (7/1), Cry Havoc (15/2), G'daay (8/1), Big Narstie (17/2), Asad (10/1), Odisseo (12/1), Roman Dynasty (12/1), Puffing (14/1), Little Prayer (25/1)

DYNAMIC TALENT has got firmly back on track equipped with blinkers of late, supplementing his Lingfield success in determined fashion at Wolverhampton 30 days ago, and he could be up to completing the hat-trick. Fellow last-time-out winner Cry Havoc, Puffing and Odisseo are others fancied to feature.
