Midrarr²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 75| CD

28/1

C&D winner. First run since leaving Brian Ellison when last of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (13.3f) 3 weeks ago, chasing leader until 2f out and weakening. May be sharper with that under her belt and she's 3 lb lower here.

Percy Willis^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P J McDonald| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 74| CD

10/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 17 days ago. However, previous second over C&D was a solid effort and no surprise to see a better showing.

Form: 596825

Genesius¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 73| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 5/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago, collared line. Consistency is hard to knock and he's not out of things.

Form: 244322

Nolton Cross¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: H Palmer| OR: 77| C

7/4

Course winner. 11/2, eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 10 days ago, not seen to best effect having been caught wide throughout. Possibilities down in class.

Form: 892028

Lexington Knight⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 72| CD

11/2

4-y-o who gained second C&D victory of the year 6 weeks ago, albeit seen to maximum effect on the front end. Rider's claim more than off-sets his subsequent weight rise and he should give another good account.

Pretty Bouquet¹²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 77

14/1

Champs Elysees filly who confirmed debut promise when off the mark in a Carlisle maiden (11f, soft) in July. Similar form when fourth under a penalty at Doncaster (10.2f) later that month but opening mark demands another step forward back up in trip.

Form: 414

Bugle Major^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 71

12/1

Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs on these shores. However, again when close when creditable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 16 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 772253

(5)

Masque Of Anarchy³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 71

12/1

3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Ripon in August. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 22/1) 31 days ago. Others have achieved more.

Form: 511128

(9)

Chaos Control⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Mollie Phillips⁽³⁾| T: S Edmunds| OR: 74

10/1

Dual 1m winner on AW as a juvenile who wasn't disgraced, including over longer trips, without tasting success in Ireland this year. Afforded a chance by the assessor on debut for new yard and interesting what the market makes of him.

Form: 228470

Forecasts

Nolton Cross (7/4), Genesius (7/2), Lexington Knight (11/2), Chaos Control (10/1), Percy Willis (10/1), Bugle Major (12/1), Masque Of Anarchy (12/1), Pretty Bouquet (14/1), Midrarr (28/1)

A competitive handicap and it may pay to side with PERCY WILLIS. He needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Newcastle but had caught the eye when runner-up over C&D previously and his mark remains a workable one. Nolton Cross and Genesius head up the dangers, along with Lexington Knight.
