King Of Charm¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 75| CD

7/2

C&D winner. 11/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) 19 days ago, hampered 1f out. Has fallen to a workable mark and needs considering.

40/1

1 win from 2 runs this year. First run since leaving Adrian McGuinness when last of 7 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D (good) 13 days ago. Risky proposition at present.

Form: 1453-17

Lordsbridge Blu^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: S Woods| OR: 75

7/2

Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm, 5/1) 28 days ago. Back down in trip and not ruled out.

Form: 3-80445

(9)

Kalamunda^p³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Parr| OR: 74| D

16/1

Last of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Kempton (8f) 35 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

(8)

Newfangled^p²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: J G Portman| OR: 73| D

11/2

Latest win at Windsor in May. 8/1, good second of 8 in handicap there (8.1f, good to firm) 24 days ago. A likely player off the same mark.

Form: 131202

Hieronymus^p,t¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Jim Crowley| T: George Baker| OR: 72| D

25/1

Latest win at Kempton in February. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good, 25/1) 13 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 8-21700

(5)

Tadreeb¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Oliver Searle⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 71

7/1

3 wins from 8 runs this year. Very good fourth of 12 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good, 22/1) 13 days ago, nearest finish. Can go well again.

Form: 142404

Port Erin⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Tyrese Cameron⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 69| D

5/1

Latest win at Haydock in July. Solid third of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (9f, good, 11/4) 5 days ago. Stepping back in the right direction.

Form: 071413

(4)

Arkendale¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR: 68| D

20/1

50/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (10f, good to soft) 14 days ago, needing stronger gallop. No forlorn hope.

Form: 5042-86

(6)

Royal Pleasure^h,t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: K Jewell| OR: 68

13/2

Twenty runs since last win in 2022. 6/1, good second of 7 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 21 days ago, slowly away. Unreliable individual though.

Form: 676272

Forecasts

Lordsbridge Blu (7/2), King Of Charm (7/2), Port Erin (5/1), Newfangled (11/2), Royal Pleasure (13/2), Tadreeb (7/1), Kalamunda (16/1), Arkendale (20/1), Hieronymus (25/1), Enough Already (40/1)

NEWFANGLED rates just the pick of these weights so is taken to go one better than his recent good Windsor second at the chief expense of in-form pair Port Erin and Tadreeb who can chase home Jonathan Portman's 4-y-o in that order. Top-weight King Of Charm completes the shortlist.
