Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 84| D

14/1

Useful at best in Ireland. Not at that level so far this year for current connections having missed the whole of 2022, but best effort of the season off reduced mark when second at Beverley last week, unlucky not to finish closer after meeting trouble. One to bear in mind.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 81

Won a Leicester seller in June (final start for Kevin Philippart de Foy). Mixed record since, respectable fifth of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good, 16/1) 12 days ago.

Tele Red¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 77| CD

6/1

In top form this summer, scoring over C&D before following up at York. Good placed efforts at Pontefract/Ripon since and another bold show likely.

Pub Crawl^t1³³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: T Collier| OR: 75

33/1

Remains a maiden but largely consistent and was unlucky not to finish closer third of 5 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 15/8) when last seen 11 months ago (sold from Michael Bell 57,000 gns after). Significantly down in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

5/2

Won twice here this season and recorded third success of campaign at Beverley 2 weeks ago, all out. Most likeable type who will continue to give a good account.

25/1

Winner at Ayr in June but has matched that form just once in a handful of runs since. Dipped below winning mark at least.

Princess Niyla¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Palmer| OR: 77| D

11/1

Confirmed debut promise at second attempt when making winning return from 7 months off in a Chester novice (7.6f) in July. Good second of 5 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good) 15 days ago despite never looking comfortable on the track. Can do better again.

Form: 36-182

Jumeirah King³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: C Lee| T: K A Ryan| OR: 77

4/1

Fairly useful form when placed 3 times at up to 1¼m in France. Much better for yard debut when second of 5 in handicap (8/1) at Ayr (10f, good) 33 days ago and may do better still.

Form: 23-4262

Royal Musketeer⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 70

33/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2022 and found run of good form coming to a halt when remote third of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 50 days ago.

Form: 67-2563

Berkshire Phantom¹⁴

Fairly useful winner for Andrew Balding but well held all 3 starts for this yard.

King's Code¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans| OR: 74| D

7/2

Did well to score having conceded first run in first-time cheekpieces at Bath (1m) in June and steady gallop didn't play to his strengths when mid-field at Wolverhampton. Changed yards/gelded after and resumed winning ways at Newbury 11 days ago, coming from last. Can go well again.

Form: 33-7171

War Chant^p1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: Rae Guest| OR: 73| D

12/1

Thriving sort who completed hat-trick in ready fashion at Bath (1m). Winning run ended in tame fashion off inflated mark at Salisbury since, however. Headgear on.

Pearl Eye (5/2), King's Code (7/2), Jumeirah King (4/1), Tele Red (6/1), Princess Niyla (11/1), War Chant (12/1), Zozimus (14/1), Arranmore (16/1), Garden Oasis (25/1), Royal Musketeer (33/1), Pub Crawl (33/1), Baileysgutfeeling (80/1), Berkshire Phantom (150/1)

KING'S CODE took his form to another level when making a winning start for this yard at Newbury 11 days ago and the manner of victory suggests he's still on a nice mark up only 3 lb. Fellow 3-y-o Pearl Eye is proving most likeable so rates a big threat, with the thriving Tele Red the pick of the older horses.
