11/2

Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 14/1) 11 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Back down in trip and hood on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 67

33/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 50/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, finished eleventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f) on debut for new yard 15 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

10/1

Course winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 11/1) 61 days ago, slowly away. In good order prior to that and each-way chance if on-song here.

Sonmarg^t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S Woods| OR: 67| BF

10/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Has to be taken seriously.

Gone Rogue⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 65

15/2

Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (10f, 9/2) 9 days ago and he enters calculations with this drop back to a mile likely to prove ideal.

Form: 576226

Born A Rebel³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tyler Heard| T: P Owens| OR: 65| D

6/1

Eighth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 9/1) 37 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

11/2

Winner at Wolverhampton in July. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Newcastle (8f) 23 days ago. Will be in with a shout if able to bounce back.

Form: 146427

Destinado^b⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: James Owen| OR: 61

20/1

Eighth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Sandown (10f, good) 38 days ago and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

40/1

100/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) 12 days ago and he's readily passed over.

Cloud Free¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽³⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 63| CD

13/2

6/1, won 12-runner handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Nudged up just 2 lb and will be a danger to all if he again gets a strong pace to aim at.

Form: 789641

The Bitter Moose (4/1), Etretat (11/2), Tasmanian Legend (11/2), Born A Rebel (6/1), Cloud Free (13/2), Gone Rogue (15/2), Sonmarg (10/1), Palazzo Persico (10/1), Dynamic Talent (20/1), Seamore (20/1), Tactical Control (25/1), Royal Parade (33/1), Currumbin (40/1), Destinado (100/1)

A deserved success could be on the cards for SONMARG, who has been knocking on the door of late. Gone Rogue's stamina was stretched upped to 1¼m here last time and he is feared back at a mile, while Cloud Free opened his account over C&D a fortnight ago and is also shortlisted, along with Gone Rogue's stablemate Etretat.
