8/1

9/2, bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 24 days ago, left poorly placed. Every chance if back to best.

Judge Frank^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: J L Flint| OR: 62| D

10/1

Off the mark at Chepstow last month and improved on that, in first-time cheekpieces, when taking 12-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good, 9/4) 15 days ago. Likely contender.

Albus Anne^h¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: J C Fox| OR: 55| CD

7/2

Last season's winner of this contest who got back to best form, in first-time hood, when landing 12-runner handicap over C&D (good, 11/2) 17 days ago, kept up to work. 4 lb rise fair and another bold is anticipated.

Form: 124-371

(7)

Fact Or Fable^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 53| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Creditable 4 lengths fifth of 12 to Albus Anne in handicap (6/1) at this C&D (good) 17 days ago. Others hold stronger claims.

Form: 251735

James Park Woods²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁷⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 52| D

14/1

Posted best effort for some time when readily taking 6-runner handicap (2/1) at Brighton (8f, soft) 22 days ago. 5 lb higher now but looks a big player nonetheless.

Form: 333421

(12)

Ravenglass^h¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 51| D

14/1

8/1, respectable 5¾ lengths seventh of 12 to Albus Anne in handicap at this C&D (good) 17 days ago, not clear run. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 263477

Azamhan⁴⁰⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: R G Hawker| OR: 48

200/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 12 in handicap (100/1) at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm). Off 13 months. Best watched.

Form: 3/06000-

Forecasts

Albus Anne (7/2), Molly Valentine (15/2), Savanna King (15/2), Equion (8/1), Bella Veneta (8/1), Ciotog (9/1), Marsh Benham (10/1), Judge Frank (10/1), James Park Woods (14/1), Ravenglass (14/1), Fact Or Fable (22/1), City Cyclone (28/1), Never Mind Me (40/1), Azamhan (200/1)

Preference is for JAMES PARK WOODS, who took advantage of a drop in the weights when scoring at Brighton last month and remains feasibly treated. Albus Anne and Judge Frank head the list of dangers.
