66/1

First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when last of 8 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 18/1) 15 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Chance if rediscovering old form.

Chillingham^h,t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: P J McDonald| T: E Bethell| OR: 96

4/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 6/1) 12 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Not taken lightly.

Form: 1-14249

Prydwen¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Billy Loughnane| T: George Scott| OR: 94| C

5/1

Course winner. 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 12 days ago, not ideally placed. Considered.

Nolton Cross⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ross Coakley| T: H Palmer| OR: 88| C

16/5

Course winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. 18/1, badly hampered under 3f out when fifth of 14 in handicap at Haydock (14f, good to firm) 75 days ago. Weighted to go well off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 036365

(2)

Capital Theory⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 87| BF| C

11/2

Course winner. 9/2, creditable third of 14 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 8 days ago, well positioned. Can give a good account.

Form: 301633

Zealandia^p⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: Ian Williams| OR: 87| D

25/1

Latest win at Goodwood in August. 15/2, fifth of 9 in handicap at Chester (18.6f, heavy) 54 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on stamina. Back down in trip and not ruled out on his tapeta debut.

Form: 084215

Rhythmic Intent⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 87

9/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, good to soft) 69 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive.

Form: 643355

(8)

Sonnerie Power³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 87

11/1

Career best when cosily winning 12-runner handicap (4/1) at Kempton (12f) 36 days ago on final run for Roger Varian. Up 5 lb but he merits serious consideration now stepping up in trip.

Form: 4-34471

Forecasts

Nolton Cross (16/5), Chillingham (4/1), Rhythmic Intent (9/2), Prydwen (5/1), Capital Theory (11/2), Splendent (10/1), Sonnerie Power (11/1), Barenboim (16/1), El Picador (20/1), Zealandia (25/1), Oneforthegutter (28/1), Inuit (66/1)

A few with chances but SONNERIE POWER ended his time with Roger Varian when a stylish Kempton scorer and can defy a 5 lb weights rise with this longer trip also a likely plus for this son of Almanzor. Nolton Cross has slipped to a good mark and wasn't seen to best effect when fifth at Haydock last time so rates the main danger ahead of Chillingham and Zealandia.
