Risen Again²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Ray Dawson| T: J Ferguson| OR: 71

13/8

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 22 days ago, seeing his race out well considering how keen he was. One to consider returned to all-weather for in-form yard.

Nazalan²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁵⁾| T: S Woods| OR: 69

11/1

Won a 5f novice at Sandown as a 2-y-o but has essentially struggled this term, last of 6 in handicap on turf here (7f, good) 26 days ago. Lines up here operating from career-low mark but others make stronger appeal. Significantly up in trip.

Con Te Partiro^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: N Callan| T: R Spencer| OR: 69| BF| CD

13/8

Form has taken off in handicaps, producing a career best for win number 4 in 8-runner C&D handicap in July. Just failed when runner-up over 1m back here 2 weeks ago and looks sure to make his presence felt again nudged up 2 lb.

Alvesta³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 65

7/2

Maiden who ran her best race to date when third over C&D in July. However, rather disappointing both starts since, last of 5 in handicap (15/2) at Sandown (10f, good to firm) 36 days ago, her effort proving short-lived.

Sweet Sister³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: D J Coakley| OR: 63

22/1

Creditable 6 lengths fourth of 8 to Con Te Partiro in C&D handicap 37 days ago. Needs to pull out more if she's to break her duck here but she's still lightly raced at least.

Form: 79-644

Forecasts

Con Te Partiro (13/8), Risen Again (13/8), Alvesta (7/2), Forever Noah (4/1), Nazalan (11/1), Sweet Sister (22/1)

James Ferguson's string are in good form and RISEN AGAIN could be the way to go. Still lightly raced, he did well to finish second at Beverley 3 weeks ago having pulled hard and there remains a bigger effort in him. Con Te Partiro has thrived following the switch to handicaps and is a serious threat, with Forever Noah another to note.
