Adace^p²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: J Quinn| T: D K Ivory| OR: 56| C| D

15/2

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 24 days ago. Should be on the premises.

River Alwen^b²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Craig Benton| OR: 51| D

14/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 66/1) 24 days ago. Back down in trip. Hard to fancy.

Edmund Ironside^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Bradley| T: M J Attwater| OR: 49| D

9/1

One win from 25 Flat runs. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 16/1) 17 days ago. On a handy mark and may strip fitter for latest effort.

Capallcliste²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D Egan| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 49

4/1

Cobh Harbour¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Edward Greatrex| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 49

4/1

Creditable third of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago, nearest finish. Makes polytrack debut. Good chance.

United Force²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C Hobson| OR: 49| D

25/1

Latest win at Yarmouth in July. 16/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Has a bit to prove on the back of that.

Warrior Square^v²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Ray Dawson| T: T Kent| OR: 48

7/1

8/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (7f) 21 days ago. On a fair mark but isn't at the top of his game right now.

Form: P24944

(6)

Gatwick Kitten^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 47

25/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (6f) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 505337

(5)

Starshot^h²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Dylan Hogan| T: P & J Clutterbuck| OR: 46

15/2

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 6/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Not seen to best effect last time and worth treating as still in form.

Form: 850347

(4)

Tilsworth Max¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carson| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 46

25/1

Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at this course (7f) 12 days ago. Must improve if he's to make any sort of impact.

Form: 860366

Struck Gold²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: J Butler| OR: 45| CD

5/1

Unreliable type. C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 50/1) 28 days ago.

Form: 728687

(11)

Kodiac Brave^v²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: Craig Benton| OR: 45

50/1

125/1, sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Struggling for form and looks up against it.

Form: 040676

Oh So Audacious³⁸

Weight: 9-8| Age: 5

T: Harry Eustace J: George Wood

Forecasts

Oh So Audacious (11/4), Cobh Harbour (4/1), Capallcliste (4/1), Struck Gold (5/1), Warrior Square (7/1), Adace (15/2), Starshot (15/2), Edmund Ironside (9/1), River Alwen (14/1), United Force (25/1), Gatwick Kitten (25/1), Tilsworth Max (25/1), Kodiac Brave (50/1)

COBH HARBOUR has slipped to an appealing mark and was back to form at Wolverhampton last time, finishing well. If he can build on that he might have enough to see off the in-form mare Oh So Audacious, who is unlikely to be far away. Starshot is also considered.
