Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 81| CD

17/2

Won back to back at Kempton and over C&D in June. Respectable efforts in defeat twice since but the handicapper seems to have him about right.

Form: 421175

Valkyrian¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 81| CD

9/2

Won at Lingfield and over C&D in July. Good-runner-up efforts at Leicester and Kempton since. Merits consideration.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 75

10/1

14/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Sandown (1m, good) 18 days ago, left poorly placed. Has dropped back to his winning mark.

Believe You Me¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: T E Whelan| T: H Main| OR: 72| C

(5)

Lady Flora¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 78| CD

7/2

C&D winner in July. 9/2, very good second of 10 in back here (good) 18 days ago. Shortlist material for leading yard.

Form: 343412

(2)

Kalama Sunrise^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: J Channon| OR: 72| CD

4/1

Third C&D win of a very productive summer when making all in a 5-runner event 11 days ago. More on her plate in a deeper race now but further progress can't be discounted in her current mood.

Form: 111221

(6)

Macs Dilemma^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 70| C

Racing Demon^h⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: George Rooke| T: E De Giles| OR: 66| CD

14/1

C&D winner in May and followed up at Bath in May. 25/1, last of 11 in handicap at Newbury (1¼m, good) 53 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 911020

Soi Dao¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 64| BF| C| D

Fact Or Fable^p⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-2| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 54| CD

22/1

C&D winner in July and went in again at Bath (1m, good to firm) 9 days ago, seeing it out determinedly. He's 3 lb out of the weights here so it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 241251

(1)

Letter Of The Law^b⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-2| J: Mia Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 53| CD

(12)

Bantry³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-2| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 53

25/1

Unreliable individual. One win from 21 Flat runs. 10/1, 9¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Believe You Me in handicap at this course (7f, good to firm) 31 days ago, very slowly away.

Form: 515665

Forecasts

Lady Flora (7/2), Kalama Sunrise (4/1), Valkyrian (9/2), Soi Dao (15/2), Stockpyle (17/2), Magical Merlin (10/1), Believe You Me (10/1), Racing Demon (14/1), Fact Or Fable (22/1), Bantry (25/1), Macs Dilemma (28/1), Letter Of The Law (40/1)

A competitive series Final which can go the way of sole 3-y-o LADY FLORA. Kalama Sunrise is another thriving filly and can give Andrew Balding's charge most to do ahead of Valkyrian.
