15/2

Listed winner at Lingfield in February. After 12 weeks off, better for the run when fifth of 14 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good to soft, 16/1) 12 days ago. Capable of getting involved with her recent outing behind her.

16/1

Made it 2 wins from her last 3 starts when making all in 8-runner handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm, 9/2) 47 days ago, showing a good attitude. Will need to find more again as she goes back up in grade.

8/11

Having run several good races in defeat, got back to winning ways in 9-runner apprentice handicap at Haydock (5f, heavy, 7/4) 4 days ago, keeping on well. Escapes a penalty for his recent success and he can follow up.

Just Glamorous¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-0| J: S Hitchcott| T: C Mason| OR: 78| D

25/1

Back to form after 10 months off when winning at Salisbury in June. Failed to repeat that effort when fourth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (5f, soft) a month later, though did too much too soon. Capable if on a going day.

Form: 2700-14

Stone Circle¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne| T: M L W Bell| OR: 77| CD

7/1

C&D winner last summer and gained his second success of the current season in 11-runner handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft, 17/2) a fortnight ago. Going through a good spell at present, so he enters calculations.

Betweenthesticks^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Marco Ghiani| T: J Channon| OR: 79| CD

6/1

C&D winner who has returned to form of late, placing for the consecutive start when third of 13 in handicap at York (5.4f, good, 13/2) 13 days ago. Can give his running again, but remains 3 lb above his last winning mark.

Form: 206223

Honour Your Dreams^v¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: D E Sheehy⁽³⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 68| D

14/1

Value for extra when winning cosily at Hamilton in July. Run best excused next time when last of 13 in handicap at York (5.4f, good, 6/1) 13 days ago, very awkward leaving the stalls. Could get back on track.

Forecasts

Manila Scouse (8/11), Betweenthesticks (6/1), Stone Circle (7/1), Kimngrace (15/2), Honour Your Dreams (14/1), Grace Angel (16/1), Dubai Station (16/1), Just Glamorous (25/1), Get It (33/1)

MANILA SCOUSE deservedly returned to winning ways in an apprentice handicap at Haydock on Sunday and, without a penalty for his recent victory, he can quickly double his tally for the season. Kimngrace could step forward from her recent run to pose the biggest threat to the selection, while Stone Circle is another to consider in his current form.
