Bellagio Man^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Harry Russell| T: A Brittain| OR: 80| D

16/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f, 17/2) 25 days ago. More needed up 3 lb here, but he's worthy of consideration all the same.

Crimson Angel⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Mr Oliver Timms⁽⁷⁾| T: C G Cox| OR: 80

20/1

Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 14/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 68 days ago. 2 lb lower back on the AW and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 4-110

Kodi Red²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: David Probert| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 80| D

18/1

Sixth of 7 in handicap (6/1) at Bath (5f, soft) 22 days ago, not ideally placed. Back up in trip on this tapeta debut and others make more appeal.

Form: 17-0046

Regal Envoy^v¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Knight| OR: 77| CD

6/1

Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (9/1) at this C&D 17 days ago, easily. This 6 lb higher mark demands more, but he's a big player nonetheless.

Vespasian^p,t³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 76| D

9/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 6/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he's capable of taking a hand in the finish.

Dark Kestrel^t⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 76| D

50/1

9/2, eighth of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft). Off 97 days ahead of this tapeta debut on first run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden. Something to find on form.

Form: 6-16028

Coup De Force²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D C Costello| T: W S Kittow| OR: 75| C| D

9/1

Course winner. Latest win here in August. 18/1, creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft) 22 days ago. Not without each-way hope.

Heartrate¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 74| BF| D

8/1

Latest win at Ffos Las in September. 10/3, seventh of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Likely to find one or two too strong here.

Form: 944117

Motagally^b³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: D Swift| T: S Dixon| OR: 73| CD

18/1

Unreliable type. C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (9/2) 31 days ago, hampered. Opposable on balance.

Form: 602006

Intervention^p,h⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Theodore Ladd| T: M Appleby| OR: 71| BF| CD

13/8

C&D winner. Twenty-four runs since last win in 2022. Very good second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f, well-backed 15/8) 6 days ago, clear of rest. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 837642

A Pint Of Bear^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 66

11/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 11 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Reproduction of that effort would give him an each-way chance.

Intervention (13/8), Vespasian (9/2), Regal Envoy (6/1), Heartrate (8/1), Coup De Force (9/1), A Pint Of Bear (11/1), Bellagio Man (16/1), Motagally (18/1), Kodi Red (18/1), Crimson Angel (20/1), Cooperation (33/1), Dark Kestrel (50/1)

INTERVENTION left the strong impression that his turn is near when finding only an unexposed 3-y-o too good at Kempton recently, and he is taken to go one better here off the same mark. Regal Envoy has been raised 6 lb for his C&D success earlier this month, but he was a decisive winner that day and will be a threat if in a similar mood. Crimson Angel is respected back on the all-weather and should be in the mix, along with Vespasian.
