Soto Sizzler^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 96| CD

12/1

Multiple handicap winner but yet to really fire for current stable and has a bit to prove.

Form: 507-030

Sea King⁹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: S W Kelly| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 92| BF| D

9/4

Lightly raced 4-y-o who made a respectable return at Kempton 3 months ago. Still has more to offer and stable is going well, so obvious player.

Form: 174D7-2

Benacre¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C Johnston| OR: 95| C

15/8

Useful sort who was back on track when fourth at Chelmsford 12 days ago. Doesn't appear to be ahead of his mark but could make an impact.

Form: 1-42404

Sovereign Spirit¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 84| D

9/4

Three 1½m handicap wins this year, the latest at Beverley where he narrowly prevailed in June. Has remained in form since, fourth at Ascot last time, and merits respect again.

Forecasts

Benacre (15/8), Sea King (9/4), Sovereign Spirit (9/4), Fulfilled (11/4), Aimeric (7/2), Soto Sizzler (12/1)

FULFILLED is steadily progressive and shaped better than the result at Windsor recently, so he takes marginal preference over Sea King, who likely has a bigger performance in him. Sovereign Spirit also boasts reasonable claims.
