10/3

Got off the mark at Chelmsford City in June and in good order since, third of 6 in handicap at Salisbury (12f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

One Cool Dreamer¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Egan| T: A King| OR: 68| D

2/1

Took his form up a notch when opening his account in 8-runner handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Not taken lightly despite a 5 lb rise in the weights.

Form: 95-5451

Autumn Dream²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Saffie Osborne| T: C Hills| OR: 67

6/4

Lightly-raced maiden who resumed from 11 months off with a good fourth of 9 in handicap over C&D (good to firm) 28 days ago. Can build on it now so she's a player.

Form: 885-4

Fram Castle^b²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J F Egan| T: James Horton| OR: 60

13/2

Back on track in blinkers when third of 8 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 23 days ago, especially as left poorly placed. Very much one to consider off the same mark with headgear again sported.

Form: 05-6093

Forecasts

Autumn Dream (6/4), One Cool Dreamer (2/1), Royal Praise (10/3), Fram Castle (13/2)

None of the quartet can be ruled out but the vote goes to AUTUMN DREAM who is fancied to build on her encouraging C&D fourth after an absence and get off the mark. Fram Castle wasn't seen to best effect when third at Newbury last time and rates the main threat, although One Cool Dreamer and Royal Praise also command plenty of respect.
