(12)

Alright Sunshine^v¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 97| D

16/1

Useful handicapper who wasn't disgraced when eight of 13 at Haydock on his final outing for Keith Dalgleish. Others look better treated, though.

Form: 0165-08

Onesmoothoperator¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 91

9/1

Hasn't won since 2021 but bit more encouragement recently, not seen to best effect when ninth of 13 at Haydock last time. Becoming well treated and can't be ignored.

Form: 7-50349

(9)

Rhythmic Intent¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: J Mitchell| T: S C Williams| OR: 89

10/1

Useful handicapper who doesn't look the force of old and others make more appeal for all that he performed respectably at Ascot 12 days ago.

Form: 03-6464

(1)

Matchless²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: J Candlish| OR: 87

9/2

Won at Doncaster in May. Third at Pontefract on next Flat start but held in a stronger race at Newcastle since

Form: 255-130

(7)

Sir Chauvelin¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 9-3| J: Hayley Turner| T: J S Goldie| OR: 86| D

16/1

Ran well at Newcastle on penultimate run and effort best excused at Hamilton 12 days ago. On a fair mark and can't be completely discounted.

Form: 083-085

(10)

The Thunderer⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Ray Dawson| T: S C Williams| OR: 86| C

10/1

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (7/2) at Chester (12.3f, good) 40 days ago, suited by way race developed. First run for yard after leaving Ollie Sangster. Makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 878121

(2)

Haliphon^p³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Ian Williams| OR: 85| D

14/1

Edging down the weights and hasn't been seen to best effect the last twice, poorly positioned at Ayr on latest. Could get involved if he's able to bounce back.

Form: 45-0758

(3)

Furzig⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85

16/1

Capitalised on drop in weights when landing back-to-back Catterick handicaps (12f) last autumn. Back to form on return at York and looks a player.

Form: 71105-3

(8)

Cardano^p,t²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: K Shoemark| T: B Brookhouse| OR: 84

10/1

Useful handicapper for Ian Williams who stripped fitter for his return when runner-up at Windsor last time. Well handicapped and solid claims if he gets the longer trip.

Form: 02/75-72

(6)

Kendancer^p1²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: B A Curtis| T: C Byrnes| OR: 77

11/1

Fair dual-purpose performer who turned in best effort of the season when ninth at the Curragh last time. Worthy of respect with cheekpieces back on.

Form: 456/759

(11)

Alnilam⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Saffie Osborne| T: M F Harris| OR: 74| D

9/4

Lightly raced for Charlie Appleby and has started positively for current yard, improving to score with a bit in hand at Sandown last time. Open to further improvement and boasts leading claims.

Form: 355-61

Nuits St Georges²¹

Weight: 9-3| Age: 8

T: D Menuisier J: Andrew Breslin

Forecasts

Alnilam (9/4), Matchless (9/2), Onesmoothoperator (9/1), Rhythmic Intent (10/1), The Thunderer (10/1), Cardano (10/1), Kendancer (11/1), Haliphon (14/1), Furzig (16/1), Sir Chauvelin (16/1), Alright Sunshine (16/1), Nuits St Georges (20/1)

ALNILAM benefited from the step up to this trip when scoring at Sandown last time and he's open to further progress, so he gets the nod over The Thunderer who was successful on the same day at Chester on his final outing for Ollie Sangster. Cardano is one of several others who make appeal.
