Zoran^t⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 80| D

25/1

Versatile sort who resumed winning ways at Kempton in June. Beat only one at Ascot (2m) following month but he's the sort to bounce back.

Form: 552128

Mark Of Gold¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Freddie Mitchell| T: G & J Moore| OR: 77| CD

15/2

Successful over C&D in May but he failed to beat a rival on his return at Epsom last month. Needs to get back on track.

Royaume Uni⁵¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: David Noonan| T: G & J Moore| OR: 76| D

66/1

Fairly useful over hurdles but off the track since 2m4f landing Plumpton handicap in May. Ought to be a factor from this sort of mark back on the level.

Havaila²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: G & J Moore| OR: 73

5/1

Arrives out of sorts, last of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good) 27 days ago. Significantly back up in trip with work to do.

Form: 644-279

Gooloogong^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Rex Dingle| T: George Baker| OR: 72

8/1

Comes here in decent nick, fourth of 13 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, soft) 22 days ago. Needs considering off an easing mark.

Form: 879054

(6)

Hurtle Wallop^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: R T Dunne| T: J R Boyle| OR: 71

7/1

Unreliable type who was tried in cheekpieces when last of 6 in handicap at Haydock (14f, heavy) 16 days ago. Hood goes back on now but others are more persuasive.

Form: 6U5646

Clever Relation⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: David Bass| T: H Morrison| OR: 70| C

9/1

Improved when third at Nottingham in May and cosily landed 6-runner seller here (11.2f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Remains fairly treated and is not taken lightly for yard among the winners.

Form: 660-631

(11)

Poncho^p³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore| OR: 70| D

10/1

A fair 2m winner over hurdles but below par of late in this sphere, fifth in handicap at Epsom (12f, soft) 31 days ago. More is needed back up in trip.

Form: 8345

Zikany¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 67| CD

13/2

Fairly useful performer but has shaped as if still needing the run (second start back after 22 months off) when sixth of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Took this in 2022 so he's very much one to consider.

Form: 6143/76

Judgementofsolomon^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 75| BF

9/2

Looked on the up when bagging his second win this year at Pontefract in September and not seen to best effect given steady pace when third of 6 at Southwell (16.5f) 14 days ago. This thorough stayer remains one to be interested in.

Form: 134213

(3)

Far L'Amore^p³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-13| J: Brendan Powell| T: B J Meehan| OR: 74

8/1

Still to register a victory but he cmes here in good order, second of 6 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, heavy) 30 days ago. In the mix with cheekpieces replacing blinkers.

Forecasts

Judgementofsolomon (9/2), Havaila (5/1), Zikany (13/2), Hurtle Wallop (7/1), Mark Of Gold (15/2), Far L'Amore (8/1), Gooloogong (8/1), Clever Relation (9/1), Poncho (10/1), Zoran (25/1), Royaume Uni (66/1)

JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON wasn't seen to best effect when third in a steadily-run contest at Southwell last time and is fancied to bounce back in style given this stiffer test of stamina. 2022 victor Zikany could emerge as the main danger to Sir Mark Prescott's 3-y-o after a couple of runs under his belt, although Clever Relation and Gooloogong could also have a say.
