Jacquelina⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 82| CD

25/1

C&D winner. 6 wins from 16 runs this year. Latest win at Chepstow in June. 40/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good) 9 days ago. She has enjoyed a terrific campaign but the handicapper may have caught up with her.

Form: 111210

Faustus^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 77| D

9/2

Latest win at Newbury in August. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good, 14/1) 9 days ago. Now 1 lb lower in a lower-grade handicap and conditions won't be an issue, so he's dangerous to discount.

Form: 163139

Balmoral Lady¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: E Walker| OR: 74| D

11/4

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft, 15/2) 13 days ago. 3 lb nudge fair enough and she's likely to make her presence felt once again.

Form: 216871

Kiss And Run³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 74| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Goodwood in August. 6/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5f, good) 30 days ago. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Faustus.

Thankuappreciate²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: D Carroll| OR: 73

11/4

One win from 24 Flat runs, which was gained back in 2022. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Chester (5.5f, soft) 23 days ago and another bold show is anticipated.

Form: 204042

Level Up³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Jordan Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 72| D

12/1

Three wins from 16 runs this year, the latest at Salisbury in August. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Bath (5f, good) 30 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 516312

Four Adaay³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: N Callan| T: B R Millman| OR: 70| D

16/1

10/3, won 7-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, soft) 31 days ago. 5 lb rise means that more will be needed but she's largely reliable and should again run her race.

Form: 542421

Punchbowl Flyer^b⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: Gina Mangan| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 63| C

11/2

Course winner. Twenty-six runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 7 days ago. Likely to struggle once more.

Form: 567049

Balmoral Lady (11/4), Thankuappreciate (11/4), Faustus (9/2), Punchbowl Flyer (11/2), Kiss And Run (9/1), Level Up (12/1), Four Adaay (16/1), Jacquelina (25/1)

THANKUAPPRECIATE has yet to add to his 2-y-o Ripon novice success but he appears ready to put that right judged on last month's near-miss off a similar mark at Chester. He is proven on slow ground and was a good second on his sole previous visit here. Faustus and Level Up rate the main dangers in that order of preference, while last-time-out winners Balmoral Lady and Four Adaay also merit respect in this competitive contest.
