6/1
Rare below-par effort when ninth of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 22 days ago, doing too much too soon. Had made the frame on his previous 3 starts, so no surprise to see him bounce back.

50/1
Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Hinted at a revival when seventh of 8 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D 18 days ago, though failed to last home having again raced freely. Others more persuasive.

17/2
Latest win at Thirsk in June. Has run respectably both starts since, not ideally placed when third of 6 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good, 15/2) 65 days ago. Merits consideration.

28/1
Winner over hurdles for current yard this summer, though fell in novice at Southwell (15.8f, good to firm, 7/4) 22 days ago. On a workable mark as he returns to the Flat with visor on 1st time.

18/1
Course winner. Stepped up on reappearance run when third of 8 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 18 days ago. Edging back down in the weights and he can give another good account.

5/1
Recorded back-to-back wins this summer, with latest success at Pontefract in July. Ran at least as well when second of 8 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, good to firm, 4/1) 22 days ago, clear of rest. Major player.

9/2
Won twice here earlier in the year, before also scoring at Kempton in August. 11/2, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap back at Kempton (12f) 16 days ago, her saddle reportedly slipping. Can give her running again.

Ran to fairly useful level first 3 starts, but well held after 7 weeks off when fourth of 5 in minor event (11/1) at Hamilton (11.1f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Needs to get back on track as he makes tapeta/handicap debut.

Off the mark at Ffos Las in June and has continued in good heart since, fourth of 8 in handicap (15/8) at Bath (14f, firm) 23 days ago. Could be thereabouts once more as he makes tapeta debut with cheekpieces applied.

Forecasts

Denis Anthony (5/2), Silver Nightfall (9/2), Unplugged (5/1), Dark Island (6/1), King Of The Plains (15/2), Genesius (17/2), Khilwafy (18/1), Adamaris (28/1), Easter Island (50/1), Sense Of Worth (50/1)

Verdict

Having won twice this summer, UNPLUGGED got back on the up when second at Haydock last time and he can build on that to return to winning ways. Heading the list of dangers is Genesius, who wasn't discredited behind a pair of 3-y-os on his latest outing, while Dark Island can bounce back to form returned to this grade.
