Croeso Cymraeg¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁵⁾| T: H J Evans| OR: 75| D

9/2

Veteran who has shown there's still plenty of life in his legs when placed on 2 of his last 3 starts. Likely vulnerable to a progressive 3-y-o for win purposes but every chance he'll be in the mix again.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Rowan Scott| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 70| D

Aztec Sun^t⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: C Hills| OR: 76WS

17/2

Fair form in 3 outings for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland. Has had wind surgery ahead of this handicap debut for a new stable. Needs monitoring in the betting with Danny Tudhope booked.

Papagei²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ray Dawson| T: J Ferguson| OR: 75| D

15/8

Winner at Yarmouth in April and added to his tally over 1½m at Leicester (good to firm) 26 days ago, forging clear. Raised 8 lb but he's very much unexposed at this trip.

Form: 316331

Hakuna Babe⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 67

6/1

Second in the mud at Salisbury in May but has found life harder since, finishing eight of 9 over 1m at Lingfield last time. Remains to be seen whether a significant step up in trip helps.

Form: 1-92868

Elemental Eye¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: I Jardine| OR: 72

5/1

Has shaped well on a couple of occasions in recent months but he was a little disappointing when stepped up to 1½m at Beverley 12 days ago.

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: R M Smith| OR: 61

28/1

Latest win at Ayr (1¼m) in August but not in the same form when only ninth of 10 at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 10 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Papagei (15/8), Minstrel Knight (3/1), Croeso Cymraeg (9/2), Elemental Eye (5/1), Hakuna Babe (6/1), Aztec Sun (17/2), Furzig (9/1), Scottish Reel (10/1), Arcon (14/1), Glasses Up (28/1), Galahad Threepwood (100/1), Trafalgar Square (150/1)

PAPAGEI had plenty to spare when successfully tackling 1½m for the first time at Leicester last month and is selected to make light of an 8 lb rise. Scottish Reel appeals as one who could have more to come in handicaps and is second choice ahead of in-form veteran Croeso Cymraeg.
