9/2
Front-runner finished second in 16-runner premier handicap at the Curragh in June and wasn't disgraced when tenth of 20 in handicap at York (5.4f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Holds sound place claims.

Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 33/1) 6 days ago. Looks a bit too high in the weights at present.

C&D winner. 18/1, respectable second of 9 in handicap at Newbury (5.2f, good) 25 days ago. Has slipped back to last winning mark and can give a good account again.

Latest win at Sandown in June. 9/4, good short-head second of 14 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Arrives in fine form though has a less-than-ideal draw to overcome.

Reliable sort won at both Haydock and Chepstow in August. Poorly drawn when fifteenth of 20 in handicap (13/2) at York (5.4f, good to firm) 21 days ago and it would be no surprise if he's able to make a greater impact here.

Ran creditably when 1¾ lengths fifth of 13 to Show Me Show Me in handicap (14/1) at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 27 days ago, though may have his work cut out trying to overcome his high draw on all-weather debut.

Back on track after an 11-week break when seventh of 12 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good) 11 days ago but another step forward is probably required here if he's to make a greater impact this time.

Won 2 of 3 starts in his juvenile campaign but hasn't looked especially well treated in a pair of handicaps this year. Remains low mileage but others are preferred on his return from 116-day absence/gelding op.

Bounced back to form when making all in 7-runner handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 19 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and having proved game to score there, is one for the shortlist.

20/1
Latest win at Brighton in August. Raced too freely when fifth of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Goodwood (5f, heavy) 18 days ago, and though his previous outings this summer would put him in the mix, he'll likely need to improve to overcome the widest draw.

C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Goodwood in May. 15/2, returned to form when second of 7 in handicap there (5f, heavy) 18 days ago. Remains on last winning mark and can go well again.

Latest win at Newcastle in March. Given a considerate return from a 5-month absence when down the field there 13 days ago. Likely to be sharper for the run now and merits market check.

Benefited from a good position and ran better than for a while when sixth of 11 in handicap at Chester (5.5f, good to soft) 11 days ago but has something to find on the bulk of his recent efforts.

Won at Beverley and Windsor (beat Lil Guff) in August but stalled in his hat-trick bid when only ninth of 11 at Carlisle (5f, good, 6/1) 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Still potentially well treated if able to bounce back.

Forecasts

Angle Land (4/1), Michaela's Boy (9/2), Manila Scouse (11/2), Sporting Hero (8/1), Safari Dream (10/1), May Sonic (11/1), Thunder Moor (12/1), Lil Guff (12/1), Strong Power (18/1), Never Dark (18/1), Night On Earth (20/1), Faustus (20/1), Show Me Show Me (28/1), Pockley (33/1)

Verdict

NEVER DARK has only been nudged up the weights for last month's front-running Hamilton win and he's fancied to follow up for the in-form Iain Jardine yard. Angle Land remains on his last winning mark and bounced back to form at Newcastle last time, so also makes appeal with Dettori on board, whilst Michaela's Boy has been competing in stiffer company and is another who could give a bold bid from the front.
