Zarabanda²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 89| D

11/1

Successful 3 times in 2023 but in-and-out form this season, not seen to best effect when seventh of in listed race at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago. Has work to do back in handicap company.

Form: 8-84847

Naaey¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 85| D

8/1

Persevered with by her top yard and duly got back on the up in taking fashion when landing 8-runner handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm) 19 days ago, leading over 1f out and well on top finish. Up 6 lb for that success but she remains unexposed so is high on the shortlist.

Form: 2/1-741

Wisper²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: J Fanning| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 85| D

15/2

Arrives in good order, finishing runner-up for a third time this season at Lingfield (9f, good to firm) 23 days ago, just no match for a 3-y-o who enjoyed the run of things. Should continue to give a good account.

Form: 247252

Roarin' Success³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: T E Whelan| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 84

14/1

Good efforts when runner-up in her first 2 races this season and bounced back from a lesser effort at Royal Ascot when 1½ lengths second of 7 to Elladonna at Salisbury in July. Ran respectably without threatening to get involved at Goodwood since, so more needed kept to this trip.

Form: 5-22026

Nocturnal³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: J Ferguson| OR: 88

8/1

Form of her August Lingfield win has worked out and she followed up with any amount in hand on her all-weather debut after 8 months off at Wolverhampton in March. Never landed a blow in the Sandringham but back on track when sixth of 12 at Goodwood just over 5 weeks ago. Now upped to 1¼m.

Form: 61-106

Invisible Friend¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 81| D

18/1

Resumed progress in no uncertain terms after 9 months off when winning 16-runner handicap at York in June but having been off 10 weeks since, wasn't in the same form back there (10.2f, good to firm) under a fortnight ago. Probably too high in the weights now so others more appealing.

Form: 4015-10

Elladonna⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 81| D

15/8

Has shown improved form back up in trip fitted with a hood last 2 starts, scoring at Nottingham in May before comfortably following up at Salisbury (9.9f, good) just under 8 weeks ago by 1½ lengths from the reopposing Roarin' Success. Not taken lightly despite the omission of headgear.

Form: 41-5511

Zenjabeela¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: R Varian| OR: 86

10/1

Dual winner last summer and having been largely disappointing in the early part of this season, confirmed her return to form when fourth of 15 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to firm) just under 2 weeks ago. Will need to improve again to open her account for the campaign.

Form: 5-90634

(4)

Warda Jamila³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 85| D

15/2

Made a winning handicap debut at Ascot (10f) in May and has been shaping up well of late, going through the race as though there's a bigger effort in her at some stage when third at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) just over 5 weeks ago. One of the more interesting 3-y-os so needs considering.

Form: 614063

Prenup⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 78

22/1

Made it to the track only 3 times this year and last seen tailed off at York (10.2f, good to soft) 3 months ago. Hard to enthuse over despite her slipping mark.

Form: 335-740

Forecasts

Elladonna (15/8), Warda Jamila (15/2), Wisper (15/2), Nocturnal (8/1), Naaey (8/1), Zenjabeela (10/1), Zarabanda (11/1), Roarin' Success (14/1), Invisible Friend (18/1), Prenup (22/1)

NAAEY justified strong support when bolting up at Doncaster last month and with further progress on the cards, John & Thady Gosden's 4-y-o is fancied to notch career success number 3 at the expense of Elladonna, who arrives on a hat-trick but rather curiously has the hood discarded on this occasion. Warda Jamila looks the most interesting of the 3-y-os so she completes the shortlist.
