Razeyna^b,t1⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 82| D

7/1

Has made the frame on 4 of her 5 starts this season, running respectably when fourth at Newbury (7f, heavy) on her latest outing. Will need to find more as she drops back down in trip with tongue strap on first time.

Form: 4-34524

Faro De San Juan^t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 81| D

25/1

Caused a 25/1 surprise when scoring at Chester (6.1f, good) in June but has struggled for form since, finishing well held at Ascot 4 weeks ago. Back down to below his last winning mark but has enough to prove at present.

Form: 198649

(19)

Aplomb⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 80| D

9/1

Caught the eye when making the frame in a couple of 6f handicaps this summer but found run of good form coming to a halt at Ayr latest and overall profile is somewhat off-putting.

Form: 0-50239

(10)

Gemini Star²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 79

9/1

Upped her game in recent starts, latest when second of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Leicester (5f, good) 25 days ago. Faces a stiffer test here but has fewer miles on the clock than most of her rivals.

Form: 2-12522

(4)

Momaer^h¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 77| D

9/1

Scored twice earlier this year and bounced back to best when ½-length second of 10 to Amazonian Dream in handicap (6/1) at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. 2 lb higher now but ought to give another good account.

Form: 613642

(17)

Coco Bear^p1³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: P R Chamings| OR: 77| D

16/1

Took his form up a notch this spring on soft ground, completing his hat-trick in 6f Ascot handicap in May. Been well below that form since, though, beaten 2 out in similar conditions at Salisbury latest. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 111670

Verdansk¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T E Whelan| T: H Candy| OR: 77

9/1

Remains a maiden after 6 attempts but ran up to best, on debut for new yard, when good third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago. This is tougher but he remains low mileage and could take a hand.

Form: 353-303

(15)

Harry's Halo^h1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: K Frost| OR: 76| D

10/1

Ended last year with victory on testing ground in Doncaster handicap (6f) and acquitted himself well in defeat off higher marks twice this summer. Below form more recently, however, and is tried in hood now.

Form: 1-92255

(12)

Cold Stare^p,t³²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76| BF| D

11/1

Having his second run in 2 days, off the mark for the season at Ayr (7.2f, good) in September, before running below par when back at the same course 10 days later. Could bounce back with conditions to suit.

Form: 643215

(7)

Tiriac^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: J Channon| OR: 75| D

11/2

Returned to form, in first-time cheekpieces, when 1¾ lengths third of 10 to Amazonian Dream in handicap (5/1) at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Claims if building on that.

Form: 756243

(6)

Albert Cee⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 75| D

7/1

Much improved when getting off the mark in 8-runner handicap at Leicester (6f, good) 40 days ago, keeping on well. 6 lb higher now but remains with potential as a sprinter.

Form: 034-221

(16)

Miss Bella Brand¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 74| D

22/1

Dual 6f winner in early summer but not quite at that level since, fair fourth of 10 to Amazonian Dream in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Goes well in the mud so no forlorn hope.

Form: 117004

(13)

Ramiro¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 73| BF| D

8/1

Having dropped below his last winning mark, gained a second success of the season when scoring at Chester (7f, heavy) in September. Remained in good form both starts since but finds himself in a deeper contest here.

Form: 859152

(20)

Iris Dancer^b²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: T Davidson| OR: 69| D

40/1

Does most of her winning at Hamilton and arrives on the back of a poor effort at Ayr last month. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 532110

(9)

Boafo Boy^t⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 68| D

28/1

Dual winner over 6f/7f for Jamie Osborne but operating below best since his last victory in January and no signs of revival on debut for new yard at this venue in August. Tongue strap back on.

Form: 967588

(5)

Hoof It Hoof It^t²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Billy Garritty| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67| D

28/1

Back on scoreboard at Ripon (6f) in September but ran badly in follow-up bid at Leicester and may prefer better conditions.

Forecasts

Primeval (5/1), Tiriac (11/2), Razeyna (7/1), Albert Cee (7/1), Amazonian Dream (7/1), Ramiro (8/1), Momaer (9/1), Aplomb (9/1), Verdansk (9/1), Gemini Star (9/1), Harry's Halo (10/1), Antiphon (10/1), Cold Stare (11/1), Solray (12/1), Coco Bear (16/1), Miss Bella Brand (22/1), Faro De San Juan (25/1), Boafo Boy (28/1), Hoof It Hoof It (28/1), Iris Dancer (40/1)

AMAZONIAN DREAM had several of these rivals behind her when returning to winning ways at Windsor last month and remains feasibly treated. She gets the nod. Leicester-scorer Albert Cee will be dangerous if handling these likely extreme conditions, whilst Verdansk and Cold Stare are also of interest.
