Love Your Work⁸¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Charlie Bennett| T: R Menzies| OR: 72| D

9/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 7 in handicap (5/1) at this course (1m) in June, weakening over 1f out. No surprise to see a better showing returning from a break.

Form: 8-66326

Raven's Applause^b1⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: P Mulrennan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 74

10/1

Reacted well to cheekpieces when winning at Windsor (6f) in June. However, turned in lacklustre displays on 2 of his 3 starts since, latterly when last of 7 at Doncaster (6f) in July. Visor worn then are now replaced by blinkers.

Naaser^h¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 73| D

33/1

Lightly-raced winner. First run since leaving George Boughey when last of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 14/1) 11 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Has work to do.

Form: 21390

Vindobala^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: S England| OR: 69| CD

11/4

3-time C&D winner but not for the first time she blotted her copybook by refusing to race at Musselburgh (7f) on penultimate start in July. 40/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, pushed along 2f out but unable to land a blow.

Form: 4503R9

Candy Warhol¹⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S Dixon| OR: 69

15/2

Fair maiden who again made the frame when third at Wolverhampton (7f) in March but absent since finishing down the field in 12-runner Southwell handicap (1m) back in April. However, booking of Hollie Doyle very much catches the eye and interesting if the market spoke in his favour.

Form: 33-4530

Harbour Vision^v¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 65| D

14/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 18/1) 10 days ago, headed final 1f and no extra. May be sharper with that under his belt.

Form: 554283

Cephalus^p1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 64| C| D

Form: 75-8086

Saisons D'Or²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 62| CD

9/1

3-time C&D winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Ripon (8f, good) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 032348

Lily In The Jungle^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Garritty| T: P A Kirby| OR: 63

28/1

Winner at Ripon (6f) in May and returned to form to confirm herself at the trip when runner-up at Lingfield (7f) in July. Not in same form either outing since though, albeit racing alone and beaten final 1f when ninth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (6f) 2 weeks ago.

Forecasts

Vindobala (11/4), Sun Power (3/1), Candy Warhol (15/2), Yoshimi (8/1), Love Your Work (9/1), Saisons D'Or (9/1), Raven's Applause (10/1), Min Till (12/1), Harbour Vision (14/1), Lily In The Jungle (28/1), Naaser (33/1), Cephalus (33/1)

LOVE YOUR WORK ran below his best when last seen in June, yet he'd previously been shaping up well from his easing mark, and having gone well fresh on the back of a break, he could just be worth chancing to come out on top. Sun Power and Yoshimi head up the dangers.
