Pub Crawl^p1,t⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: T Collier| OR: 70WS

33/1

Consistent at a fairly useful level for Michael Bell but well held both starts upon returning from an absence for present yard in September. Had wind op subsequently and cheekpieces now added to tongue tie.

Ridge Hill²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Joshua Bryan| T: A Watson

22/1

£24,000 4-y-o who makes plenty of appeal on paper but he's only ran to a modest level in a couple of starts in bumpers in recent months. Claims of hitting the frame on Flat debut for all his long-term future in this sphere may lie over further.

Beauty Blaze^v¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: P D Niven

200/1

Pulled up in 2 juvenile hurdles and he could only run to a poor level when fifth of 7 in a Musselburgh seller on debut in this sphere 17 days ago. Visor worn then again reached for here.

Form: 5

Femme Patronne²⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: K R Burke

28/1

Runner-up in a couple of bumpers (modest form) and ran to a similar level when fourth of 5 in minor event at Southwell (12.1f, 16/1) on Flat debut. Off 9 months.

Form: 4

Highland Loch²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: I Jardine

200/1

Highland Reel colt. Big prices and not offered much short-term encouragement in pair of AW novice/maidens in recent weeks. Low-grade handicaps entitled to be more his bag.

Form: 67

Implied

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Candlish

66/1

6,000 gns 3-y-o, Oasis Dream gelding. Brother to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Sand Share and half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 9f Pocket Square.

A Gift Of Love³⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: C Fellowes| BF

11/10

Frankel filly who makes plenty of appeal on paper and shaped better than the bare result first time up when ninth of 13 in maiden at Lingfield (10f, AW) 12 months ago. Open to improvement now starting out for new stable.

Form: 9-

(7)

Angel Of The Rock²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Emily Ivory⁽⁷⁾| T: A Watson

200/1

Twice-raced filly. 200/1, last of 10 in maiden at Kempton (11f) 29 days ago, pushed along end of back straight and always behind. Another who can only be watched.

Form: 90

(3)

Franberri³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| BF

9/4

200,000 gns yearling, Frankel filly. Promising debut effort when second in a Yarmouth novice (10.1f) back in August and may have been unsuited by conditions when third at Ripon (12f, soft) next start. Remains the type to do better and interesting back on AW.

Form: 23

(1)

Night At Sea¹⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: A M Balding| OR: 70

4/1

Sea The Stars filly who is steadily going the right way, best effort yet when second of 8 in maiden at Catterick (12.1f) in May. Absent since but this well-bred filly promises to do better still back from 5 months off.

Form: 042

(11)

Scylla²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽⁷⁾| T: C Fellowes

16/1

Twice-raced filly. 66/1, seventh of 8 in minor event at Ascot (12f, good) 27 days ago, still very much in need of the experience on the back of 10 months off. Handicaps likely to be more her bag on the back of this.

Form: 3-7

Glowing Flame¹⁷

Weight: 9-7| Age: 3

T: E Bethell J: Callum Rodriguez

Forecasts

A Gift Of Love (11/10), Franberri (9/4), Night At Sea (4/1), Scylla (16/1), Glowing Flame (20/1), Ridge Hill (22/1), Femme Patronne (28/1), Pub Crawl (33/1), Implied (66/1), Beauty Blaze (200/1), Highland Loch (200/1), Angel Of The Rock (200/1)

FRANBERRI couldn't build on the promise of her Yarmouth debut effort when third at Ripon 33 days ago but she had underfoot conditions as a plausible excuse and it would come as no surprise to see a better showing from this very well-bred daughter of Frankel on AW debut. Night At Sea and A Gift Of Love, another well-bred pair, are others fancied to be in the mix.
