6/4

Completed a hat-trick at Windsor in August and has remained in top form since, improving further when second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 9/2) 7 days ago. Should go well again.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: G Sheehan| T: C Johnston| OR: 77| CD

11/4

Course regular scored here in June and bounced back to form when runner-up over 15.9f here a fortnight ago. Consistency isn't her strong suit but she's not handicapped out of things.

Form: 149272

9/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 11/4, ran respectably when fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 11 days ago. Drops back in trip but looks well summed up by handicap mark.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 74

14/1

Scored over hurdles at Doncaster in December but latest outing in that sphere was underwhelming and he was only fifteenth of 16 in handicap at this course (18.6f, good to firm) returned to the Flat 127 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Has work to do.

Just Hiss^p³⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67

28/1

Veteran confirmed himself as back in some sort of form when fourth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good) 38 days ago. Regular slow starts temper enthusiasm at this course, though.

Form: 74-4824

Chilled Out^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Aaron Anderson| T: M Wigham| OR: 66

11/1

Won first 2 starts for this yard back in May but hasn't been able to land a telling blow since, albeit a shade keener than ideal when seventh of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Chelmsford City (14f) 23 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Others more persuasive.

V Power⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: T Faulkner| OR: 66

12/1

Still lightly raced for his age and he ran creditably after a 4-month break when fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 20/1) 63 days ago. Place claims.

Form: 8/60-284

Millions Memories³⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts| OR: 64| D

33/1

Justified support to win a weak event at Salisbury in June but has finished soundly beaten all 3 outings since and is easily overlooked again.

Forecasts

Night Breeze (6/4), It's All About You (5/2), Dreams Adozen (11/4), Haveyoumissedme (9/2), Haliphon (9/2), Chilled Out (11/1), V Power (12/1), Wholeofthemoon (14/1), Just Hiss (28/1), Millions Memories (33/1)

NIGHT BREEZE has barely put a foot wrong this summer and Ian Williams' gelding can resume winning ways after an improved effort in defeat last time. It's All About You had a tough race at Ffos Las last time but arrives seeking a hat-trick and has to be respected, with Dreams Adozen rounding out the shortlist.
