(10)

Cliffcake⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 75

14/1

Eight wins from 30 Flat runs. Latest win at Beverley in May. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, heavy, 9/2) 7 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 012575

(6)

Reputation²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 73

50/1

9/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 24 days ago, possibly amiss. Up in trip and this veteran would be a threat if able to get back on track now 2 lb below his last winning mark.

Form: 3331-59

(3)

Star Player³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 76| BF

4/1

Fifth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 5/2) 38 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and interesting off a mark 4 lb below that off which he was a good second at Pontefract in June.

Form: 1-72745

(5)

Southwold^b²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: David Egan| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 71| BF

4/1

7/2, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 27 days ago. More needed if he's to regain the winning thread in this contest.

Form: 143294

(8)

He's A Gentleman^v²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Palmer| OR: 71

10/3

One win from 24 Flat runs. 17/2, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 27 days ago. Each-way chance.

Form: 084223

(7)

Paternoster Square^b1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 75

4/1

Bit below form fourth of 8 in maiden at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 9/1) 12 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time now switched to the AW and couldn't rule out.

Form: 223224

(1)

Midsummer Music³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: R A Teal| OR: 74

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/1, third of 5 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good) 39 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 0-4333

(4)

Bravura³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 71

12/1

Ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 13/2) 31 days ago and he's opposable once more.

Form: 6-26449

(2)

Mykonos St John^p⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 65| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, very good fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 5 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form.

Form: 0-98865

(9)

Eagle Day²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P D Evans| OR: 67

11/1

11/2, good third of 6 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft) 21 days ago, but this 6-race maiden needs to find some improvement now upped in trip.

Form: 6-35483

Forecasts

He's A Gentleman (10/3), Southwold (4/1), Paternoster Square (4/1), Star Player (4/1), Eagle Day (11/1), Bravura (12/1), Cliffcake (14/1), Mykonos St John (16/1), Midsummer Music (18/1), Reputation (50/1)

It may pay to keep the faith with STAR PLAYER, who hasn't really progressed this season but he's now on a good mark, judged both on his 2-y-o exploits and his solid effort at Pontefract during the summer. This will be just his second run on the all-weather. Paternoster Square clearly has his limitations but there's certainly ability there and it could be that the first-time blinkers here will help him channel it more effectively. If so, he could emerge as the main threat ahead of Reputation.
