Accidental Agent^b¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 106| D

13/2

Queen Anne winner in his prime and has proved he's still capable of smart form in handicaps this year, as shown when seventh of 20 in Balmoral Handicap at Ascot (8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 777097

Dhabab^t1³⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 103WS

7/2

Highly tried after making a winning debut at 2 yrs, 6¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Native Trail in Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) final start. Off 12 months. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Has been gelded/had breathing operation and is an interesting contender.

16/5

4-time C&D winner. Latest win at Newbury in August. Trip too sharp when fifteenth of 24 in handicap (33/1) in Ayr Gold Cup (6f, good) 40 days ago. Shortlist material.

Hurricane Ivor³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 99

11/1

Real improver for current yard in 2021, landing the Portland at Doncaster and a Newbury Group 3. Not at same level this year but stopped the slide to some extent when sixth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 33 days ago. Makes polytrack debut.

Form: 8-09986

Star Of Orion^v1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 93| D

12/1

Back to form in blinkers when making the frame at Newmarket and Ascot but last of 9 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good, 9/2) 16 days ago, slowly away. Makes polytrack debut. Visor on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

Gis A Sub¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: N Callan| T: K A Ryan| OR: 93

14/1

Cracking effort when second in Gimcrack at 2 yrs but fair to say that he hasn't kicked on this year. Makes polytrack debut. Others preferred.

Form: 390900

Sir Oliver²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 90| CD

Crazyland¹⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: P Cosgrave| T: G Boughey| OR: 91| BF

40/1

First run since leaving Clive Cox when creditable second of 6 in claimer at Presque Isle Downs (6f, 14/10). Off 149 days. First run for yard after leaving Christophe Clement. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 13063-2

Meishar³³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 89| D

33/1

4-time Dundalk winner in 2021. Possibly needed the run on first outing since leaving James McAuley (sold 48,000 gns) after 7 months off when seventh of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 33 days ago. This should reveal more.

Form: 439297

Street Kid^p⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: K P De Foy| OR: 89| D

4/1

Creditable second of 14 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D (AW) 77 days ago. Still unexposed on AW and probably has a bigger effort in him.

Form: 25131-2

Windseeker⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: L Morris| T: R Hannon| OR: 87| D

12/1

Forecasts

Documenting (16/5), Dhabab (7/2), Street Kid (4/1), Accidental Agent (13/2), Hurricane Ivor (11/1), Star Of Orion (12/1), Windseeker (12/1), Gis A Sub (14/1), Sir Oliver (22/1), Meishar (33/1), Crazyland (40/1)

DOCUMENTING has done ok on turf this year and returns to his favoured surface on a good mark, so Kevin Frost's veteran, who won this in 2020, could be the answer. Street Kid was beaten only by a subsequent winner over C&D in August so is feared off 2 lb higher, while Dhabab is clearly well regarded by the Gosdens and is an interesting runner on his belated comeback.
