Back on the scoresheet when taking the Carlisle Bell in June. Shaped better than the bare result in the Golden Mile Handicap in August prior to blowing the start at Beverley. Shaped as if amiss back at Goodwood last time.

14/1

Gained a first win on turf at Newmarket in June and progressed again to follow up back on all-weather at Chelmsford in July. Beaten only by a 3-y-o back at Newmarket just under 2 weeks later and shaped as if still in good form at Wolverhampton last time.

Form: 931129

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: D Egan| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 84| CD

9/1

3-time C&D winner, including this corresponding event 12 months ago. Ran up to best to make a winning return at Pontefract in May but has been below form on his last 2 starts.

Form: 4-14455

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: E De Giles| OR: 81| BF| D

33/1

Stockpyle^b¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 80| D

25/1

Won back-to-back handicaps in June and has remained in form since but doesn't look to have much in hand from his present mark.

Form: 211755

Arkhalia Flynn^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: J Channon| OR: 83| C| D

9/2

Going the right way, making it 3-4 in handicaps when readily landing 8-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, soft) 14 days ago, doing well under the circumstances. More to come and could be up to completing the hat-trick.

Form: 521311

Nap Hand²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A King| OR: 77

4/1

Hasn't tasted success since his debut but ran well back down in trip when fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 11/1) 24 days ago, left poorly placed and catching the eye with some good late work. Can make presence felt once again.

Form: 2/57434

Asteverdi¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 81| D

14/1

Well on top at the line when opening her account for the season at Sandown in June and wasted no time getting back to form when third of 6 at Hamilton (9.2f, heavy, 5/1) 15 days ago. This demands more, though.

Form: 6-27103

(8)

Beylerbeyi²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: Ian Williams| OR: 75| D

12/1

Landed the hat-trick when scoring at Doncaster in July but hasn't been quite at the same level on his last 2 starts, never a threat when fifth of 13 at Pontefract (8f, good) 20 days ago.

Form: 111385

(5)

Rogue Encore⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 78

11/4

Lightly-raced maiden who shaped much better than the bare result when ninth of 14 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm) 9 days ago, not much room over 2f out. One to be interested in.

Form: 23539

(4)

Mr Swivell²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ray Dawson| T: J Ferguson| OR: 75| D

7/1

Resumed progress when winning 6-runner handicap (5/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 22 days ago, staying on to lead near line. 3 lb rise fair but this is a better race.

Forecasts

Rogue Encore (11/4), Nap Hand (4/1), Arkhalia Flynn (9/2), Mr Swivell (7/1), Pearl Eye (9/1), Beylerbeyi (12/1), Red Hat Eagle (14/1), Asteverdi (14/1), Leadenhall (14/1), Titan Rock (16/1), Orbaan (18/1), Stockpyle (25/1), Autumn Festival (33/1)

The one who stands out is ARKHALIA FLYNN who is progressing well and looks up to completing the hat-trick having overcome a positional bias in ready fashion at Windsor on his most recent outing. Nap Hand caught the eye putting in some good late work at Kempton last time and should be up to making his presence felt once more, with the lightly-raced Rogue Encore completing the shortlist.
