King Of The Plains³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: P J McDonald| T: James Horton| OR: 81

13/2

4/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good) 35 days ago. One to consider off the same mark here.

Form: P41-483

(6)

Jaramillo^p³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: C Lee| T: W Greatrex| OR: 77

12/1

Seventh of 12 in handicap at Sandown (14f, good, 22/1) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and while he is well treated based on his exploits when in the care of Roger Varian, a revival is needed.

Form: 4751/8-7

(7)

Gibside⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| D

7/2

Latest win at Catterick in June. 8/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, soft) 48 days ago, running on. Another bold show could be on the way.

Form: 6-81352

Cool Legend^t1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 78| BF

9/4

5/4 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 5 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good to firm) 19 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Tongue strap on 1st time and shapes as though this trip will suit, so he's a must for the shortlist.

Form: 1-56244

(4)

Peace Walk^v²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 77

10/1

25/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (16.2f, good to firm) 26 days ago. 2 lb lower now but he seems to be going through the motions at present.

Form: 12-5885

Cosmic Soul⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: O J Orr| T: P Neville| OR: 65

50/1

80/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to soft) 77 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 3552-80

The Crafty Mole^v1³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 73| CD

9/4

Four wins from 7 runs this year, the latest over this C&D in July. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap (5/2) at Newbury (16f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Now tried in a visor and he's a key contender.

Cool Legend - Original Position 1st. Amended Position 2nd.

Forecasts

The Crafty Mole (9/4), Cool Legend (9/4), Gibside (7/2), King Of The Plains (13/2), Peace Walk (10/1), Jaramillo (12/1), Cosmic Soul (50/1)

Preference is for THE CRAFTY MOLE, who wasn't disgraced upped to 2m at Newbury last time but he is 4-4 over this trip and is taken to maintain that 100% record, provided that the first-time visor has the desired effect. Fellow 3-y-o Cool Legend promises to be suited by this stiffer test and he is feared most ahead of Gibside and King of The Plains.
