Captain's Pick⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams

7/1

Better effort in bumpers in Ireland when second of 12 at Kilbeggan in June. Joined a respected stable and a prominent showing is on the cards.

Form: 5-2

Tribal Glory⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Sutton⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| BF

1/1

£48,000 buy after a point win in May and promising start under Rules when second over C&D 6 weeks ago. Taken to go one better.

Form: 12

Charia^t⁵⁵

Pulled up in 2 C&D bumpers this summer. Can only watch.

Form: PP

Harbour Bridge

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Miss J S Davis

66/1

Australia gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 1m Siberian Night. Dam, 2-y-o 1m winner who stayed 1½m. Yard 0-13 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons.

Form:

Ridge Hill

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: S Bowen| T: A Watson

2/1

£24,000 Dubawi gelding. Brother to 2 winners on Flat and half-brother to 4 winners, including fair hurdler Demophon. Dam smart 9.4f/1¼m winner. Very interesting pedigree for a race like this.

Form:

Side Stepper

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Christian Williams

20/1

Nathaniel gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat. Dam, ran twice on Flat, closely related to smart 1¾m-17f winner Renew. Some paper appeal but Captain's Pick has to be considered the yard first string unless the betting suggests otherwise.

Form:

The Eventmaster^h1³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: J M Quinlan| T: B Brookhouse

8/1

3/1, raced too freely when fourth of 8 in bumper at Southwell on debut 35 days ago. Has the potential for better if the addition of a hood helps her to settle better this time.

Form: 4

Non-Runners

Thinking Thyme

Weight: 11-2| Age: 5

T: Evan Williams J: Conor Ring

Forecasts

Tribal Glory (1/1), Ridge Hill (2/1), Captain's Pick (7/1), The Eventmaster (8/1), Thinking Thyme (10/1), Side Stepper (20/1), Harbour Bridge (66/1), Charia (125/1)

TRIBAL GLORY is the percentage call on the back of his C&D bumper debut second, although a strong market move for Archie Watson newcomer Ridge Hill would put a slightly different slant on things. Kilbeggan runner-up Captain's Pick should also have a say on first outing for new trainer Christian Williams.
