There's The Door⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: R Kingscote| T: P D Evans| OR: 91| C

22/1

Winner twice on heavy going during 2023 (including here) and made the frame for the third time this season when fourth of 9 at Ascot (12f, good) in July. Back down to her last winning mark but further easing of the ground would probably suit ideally.

Form: 0-84484

Ayyab²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S Woods| OR: 87| D

6/1

Took a step forward when opening her account in handicaps at Goodwood (12f) in May. Has essentially had excuses in trio of starts since, again seemingly finding stamina stretched when fourth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (14f) 27 days ago (Cabrera placed second). This test more suitable.

Form: 231604

Bint Al Daar²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 85

13/2

Improved performer this season, adding to her tally at Wolverhampton (9.5f) prior to a solid second at York (10.2f) 21 days ago. Mark has crept up a little more but this longer trip could well eke out a little more progress.

11/10

Phoenix Of Spain filly who showed improved form when landing a C&D novice in July and stepped up again when second of 7 on handicap debut at Newmarket (14f) 4 weeks ago, finding only a better treated one too strong. Drop back in trip will hold no fears and very much of interest again.

Meribella⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 87

12/1

From a good family and made a winning start over 7f at Newmarket last August. Lightly raced since, running well without looking especially well treated when fourth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (13.3f, good to firm) 56 days ago. Still, it remains early days and she's in top hands.

Form: 1-454

Miss Alpilles^h⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Spencer| T: E Walker| OR: 82| D

14/1

Bred to stay well and crucially settled better in a first-time hood when making second start in handicaps a winning one at Haydock (11.6f) in July, travelling well and staying on to lead late on. That race has thrown up winners and likely she can do better still.

Form: 36481

Beatrice Shilling²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 80

5/1

Quickly back on track when runner-up at Newbury (10f) in July and similar form without the race getting to the bottom of her when fourth of 8 on handicap debut at Salisbury (12f) 4 weeks ago, staying on gradually. No great surprise were she capable of better.

Form: 2-5U24

Forecasts

Cabrera (11/10), Beatrice Shilling (5/1), Ayyab (6/1), Bint Al Daar (13/2), Meribella (12/1), Miss Alpilles (14/1), There's The Door (22/1)

Successful over C&D on her penultimate start, CABRERA looked on a handy mark and shaped well when runner-up on handicap debut at Newmarket 4 weeks ago, finding only an even better treated rival too strong. Open to further progress, she makes plenty of appeal dropping back in trip. Ayyab has possibly found her stamina stretched in recent starts and a better showing is anticipated. Bint Al Daar and Miss Alpilles are others in the mix.
