Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon| OR: 90| D

4/1

Likeable sort who resumed winning ways at York (7f) in May and plenty of solid efforts in defeat since, probably find testing conditions too much when fourth at Goodwood (7f) 24 days ago. No surprise to see a better showing.

Mustajaab^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 87| D

11/1

Well-bred colt who got back on the up when making a winning return at Southwell (7f) in May. Below that level next 2 starts but better effort equipped with blinkers when fourth of 8 in C&D handicap 3 weeks ago.

Form: 68-1074

Kiaraad²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jefferson Smith| T: I Mohammed & J Santos| OR: 84| BF| D

16/5

Built on encouraging debut run when taking 7-runner Beverley maiden (7.4f) in June. Done nothing wrong in defeat since, best effort yet when second in a C&D handicap 21 days ago, collared final 50 yds. Remains low mileage and he's not out of things.

Form: 2162

Kimnkate^b¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 83| CD

8/1

Hasn't looked back since blinkered, posting a career-best effort when gaining fourth career success over C&D 15 days ago. Steps up in class now but she did that readily.

Waiting All Night³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N Callan| T: R Spencer| OR: 81

7/2

Has drawn a blank since his debut win last May but went close to adding to his tally when runner-up over C&D 2 starts back. Shade disappointing when seventh of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f) since but likely type to bounce back.

Form: 4-84327

Ararat⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 78| CD

3/1

Showed improved form when shedding maiden tag in a C&D handicap in June. Not in quite the same form when fourth at Chester (7f) 7 days later but given more of a break ahead of this and he may yet have more to offer.

Forecasts

Ararat (3/1), Kiaraad (16/5), Waiting All Night (7/2), Dark Thirty (4/1), Remarkable Force (13/2), Kimnkate (8/1), Mustajaab (11/1)

Having run a fine race when third in a strong 3-y-o handicap on his penultimate start, DARK THIRTY may have found conditions too testing when fourth at Goodwood (7f) 24 days ago. Proven at this trip and boasting a likeable attitude, he can make a bold bid with the quicker surface here a plus. The thriving Kimnkate and Waiting All Night are others to consider.
