Major Major¹⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Tyrese Cameron⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 63

22/1

4/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) when last seen in June. Needs to bounce back but it would be no surprise were he to do so off this mark (4 lb lower than when last successful) and with conditions no problem

Fiddlers Green¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Millie Wonnacott| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 60| C

10/1

Course winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year, the latest on soft ground at Doncaster in April. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 6/1) 10 days ago. Couldn't completely rule out given that he'll go on the ground but one or two of these are more appealing all the same.

Surrey Charm^t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Jack Doughty| T: H Morrison| OR: 59

7/1

6/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, third of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (12f, heavy) 32 days ago. Entitled to come on for that belated seasonal reappearance and she has to enter calculations off the same mark.

Form: 0/1482-3

Ship To Shore¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Liam Wright| T: P R Chamings| OR: 59

7/1

Latest win at Lingfield in August. 4/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 17 days ago. Conditions won't be a problem back on turf and he's a live each-way contender.

Form: 42-5412

Snapius^v1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Anna Gibson⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 59

20/1

First run since leaving James A. Nash when last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 5/1) 20 days ago. Hopes now pinned on the addition of a visor sparking a return to form.

Spring Chorus³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Andrea Pinna⁽⁷⁾| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 58

9/1

Winner at Beverley in May. 9/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 35 days ago. Will be of interest if the ground remains on the slow side (Beverley success was gained on soft ground).

Wahoo King⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Morgan Cole| T: H Main| OR: 57

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 69 days ago and he looks set for another struggle.

Wannabeawallaby⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Dace⁽⁷⁾| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 56

6/1

Sixth of 8 in handicap at Beverley (16.2f, good, 10/3) 47 days ago, doing too much too soon. Was knocking firmly on the door prior to that and handled good to soft (unraced on slower) with aplomb when second at Lingfield in July. Shortlisted.

Endofastorm¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Ethan Jones⁽³⁾| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 50| C

8/1

Course winner. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap (20/1) at this course (14f, good to firm) 16 days ago. That was a Class 2 contest and, now 1 lb lower back down in class, he needs considering.

Form: 56-5815

Asense^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Shariq Mohd⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 47| CD

4/1

C&D winner. 40/1, creditable seventh of 13 in handicap at this course (14f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and she's now without each-way hope.

Form: 574637

Gilbert^p,t²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Mia Nicholls| T: A West| OR: 45

50/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. Last of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 29 days ago and he's likely to come up short once again.

9/2

Creditable length third of 12 to Endofastorm in handicap (5/2) at this course (11.6f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Needs to raise his game in order to open his account at the ninth time of asking.

Asense (4/1), Letmebetheboss (9/2), Wannabeawallaby (6/1), Surrey Charm (7/1), Ship To Shore (7/1), Endofastorm (8/1), Spring Chorus (9/1), Fiddlers Green (10/1), Parikarma (16/1), Snapius (20/1), Major Major (22/1), Gilbert (50/1), Wahoo King (50/1), Aquifolia (150/1)

With the Hughie Morrison yard among the winners of late, SURREY CHARM is taken to build on her encouraging reappearance third in a first-time tongue strap (retained here) at Ffos Las. That was her first run on the back of an 11-month absence, so she's entitled to come on for it and this slight step up in trip looks a good move. Wannabeawallaby wasn't on-song last time but was in good heart prior to that and he is feared most ahead of Major Major.
