Consistent performer who finished runner-up for fourth consecutive time in 13-runner handicap at Ascot (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago, nearest finish. Return to longer trip a plus and must enter calculations. Cheekpieces back on.
|
Yet to score for current yard and recent efforts over hurdles don't inspire much confidence for return to level. .
|
3 wins from 9 runs this year, most recently at Chelmsford (10f) in August. Creditable in-frame efforts since, latest when fourth of 9 in Southwell handicap (12.1f) 18 days ago and good amateur booked. Respected.
|
C&D winner who ended last campaign with respectable second of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good to soft, 2/1) 13 months ago. Fairly treated on return and is worth a second look in the market.
|
Winner over hurdles in Sweden last month but finished well beaten in a couple of starts on Flat since. Cheekpieces back on and is hard to fancy.
|
Consistent sort who posted another good effort when second of 16 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft, 5/1) 19 days ago, albeir no match for winner. Races off same mark here and should give another good account.
|
Shaped as if still in form when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 4/1) 12 days ago but his losing run continues to mount. Others more convincing.
|
Bagged third win of year at Epsom (10.1f) last month. Not in same form at Kempton latest, however, and finds himself on career-high mark now.
|
Lightly-raced maiden on Flat who found some improvement when good sixth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at York (10.2f, heavy) 14 days ago, slowly away. Worth a crack at this longer trip and is an interesting contender. Engaged 1.41 Newbury Friday.
|
Not scored for over 2 years and finished well held at Wolverhampton (14f, 14/1) 29 days ago. Others more persuasive.
|
Returned to winning ways at Lingfield (15.8f) in August and run respectably both starts since. Drop back in trip doesn't look ideal. though.
|
Landed first victory since taking this event 2 years ago at Bath (11.6f) last month. Wasn't in same form at Yarmouth latest but remains fairly treated and can't be ruled out.

Forecasts
Hartur D'oudairies (5/2), Warning Sign (7/2), Macari (6/1), Genesius (9/1), Mrs Meader (11/1), Dashing Panther (12/1), Imperial Cult (12/1), Aikhal (16/1), Beautiful Crown (18/1), Ship To Shore (22/1), Motazzen (28/1), Atalanta Breeze (33/1), Throne Hall (40/1)
HARTUR D'OUDAIRIES acquitted himself well in a stronger contest at York a fortnight ago and promises to be suited by this longer trip. He gets the nod in the finale. Warning Sign and Macari head the list of dangers.
- Warning Sign7/2
- Macari6/1
