12/1
Twenty runs since last win in 2019 but built on an encouraging stable debut when second of 18 in handicap at York (6f, good to soft, 20/1) 31 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Ran up to best when second of 6 in a C&D handicap in June but down the field both starts since. Bounce back needed.

3-time C&D winner who ran creditably in first-time blinkers when fourth of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good) 31 days ago, despite doing too much too soon. Not dismissed.

Brought up a hat-trick over C&D in May and shaped as if back in form when sixth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 29 days ago, late headway.

Turned in his best effort of the season when second of 14 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 15 days ago. Needs considering.

Quickly returned to form when third of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 9 days ago, despite being slowly away. Shortlist material.

Unreliable type who resumed winning ways at Musselburgh (7f) in July. Ran creditably without ever looking like following up here (8.3f) 10 days ago. Back down markedly in trip.

12/1
Course specialist who recorded a first win away from this track for the first time in more than 4 years at Carlisle in July. Ran at least as well in defeat in a big-field sprint at York last time and should remain competitive back at his beloved Hamilton. Blinkers back on.

Latest win at Chester in July and would have benefited from a stronger gallop when fifth of 8 at Thirsk (7f, good) 10 days ago.

C&D winner who turned in his best effort of the season when second of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Thirsk (6f, good) 27 days ago. Likely to be in the thick of the action with a repeat.

Verdict

ROCK MELODY is on a good mark and, having fared best of those from off the pace in a stronger race than this at Haydock on her most recent outing, she earns the vote. Maxi Boy and Impressor are others to consider in a competitive affair.
