14/1
Latest win at Kempton in August. 11/1, didn't appear to get home upped in trip when sixth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good to firm) 13 days ago, left behind approaching final 1f. No surprise to see him back at 1m.

Wasted no time getting back to form when fifth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 14/1) 33 days ago, staying on inside final 1f. More needed to snap a losing run going back to 2021.

9/1
C&D winner. Ran poorly after 9 weeks off when sixth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D when last seen in June. Each-way claims if the first-time cheekpieces have a positive effect.

11/4, proved a let-down when sixth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, heavy) 16 days ago. Makes all-weather debut and will need to leave that effort well behind.

Winner at Windsor in August. Ran creditably in a muddling event back up in trip when fourth of 5 in handicap (9/4) at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago. Makes polytrack debut. Must improve.

2/1
Winner at Haydock in August. Looked unlucky not to win when second of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 10/11) 48 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Visor on 1st time. Expected to be bang there.

2 wins from 5 runs this year, latest when producing a strong finish in 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 5/2) 13 days ago, leading well inside final 1f. Makes all-weather debut and he's fancied to feature.

Forecasts

Leadenhall (2/1), Urban Sprawl (6/1), Fantastic Fox (13/2), Band Of Steel (13/2), Turquoise Diamond (15/2), Court Of Session (9/1), Pjanoo (12/1), Baltimore Boy (14/1), Roman Dynasty (16/1), Cry Havoc (33/1)

Verdict

LEADENHALL looked unlucky not to make it back-to-back victories at Newmarket just under 7 weeks ago, so Ralph Beckett's progressive 3-y-o is fancied to make amends fitted with a first-time visor at the expense of Turquoise Diamond, who arrives chasing a hat-trick and could have even more to offer. Court of Session and Roman Dynasty can fight out minor honours.

  1. Leadenhall2/1
  2. Turquoise Diamond15/2
  3. Court Of Session9/1
