Darvel^b³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr Frederick Tett| T: P R Chamings| OR: 69| D

11/2

Won at Bath in April, ran creditably when third at Sandown and won a 10-runner handicap at Chepstow (7/1) 35 days ago, confirming return to form. Respected off this higher mark.

Form: 5-15931

Most Wanted^p³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Hutsby⁽⁷⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 68| D

20/1

Won handicap at Leicester (12/1) 55 days ago but last of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (18/1) 35 days ago when heavily eased. Difficult to fancy on recent evidence.

Form: 2/65510

Intercessor^p,t⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Megan Wingrove⁽⁵⁾| T: D Wingrove| OR: 68| D

28/1

Out of form, finished last of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (66/1) 77 days ago and offers little encouragement.

Form: 2609-08

Alazwar^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 66| D

15/2

Form has dipped since winning in cheekpieces at Newbury in June. Seventh of 10 in 9f handicap at Goodwood (17/2) 7 days ago, ran poorly in blinkers. Return to cheekpieces could help revive form.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr Sean P O'Connor⁽³⁾| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 64| D

Youarenotforgiven^h¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss S L Bowen| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63| D

9/2

Again slowly away when below-form seventh of 9 in handicap at Newbury (11/1) 14 days ago, always behind in first-time hood. Appears to be going the wrong way.

Form: 55-6987

Silent Flame⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Patrick Millman| T: B R Millman| OR: 62| C

10/3

Three-time Salisbury winner who won here in July but has been inconsistent since. Ran well when second of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (4/1) 4 days ago, forcing the winner to work hard. Moving up significantly in trip with blinkers removed.

Beau Jardine^b²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Michael Try⁽⁷⁾| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 54| C| D

6/1

Course winner at Salisbury who was somewhat flattered when second of 8 in handicap over 6f here in May. Fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield Park (9/1) 25 days ago, running respectably under patient tactics and staying on late. On a tempting mark.

Form: 9-52944

Ajrad⁴

Forecasts

Ajrad (3/1), Silent Flame (10/3), Uncle Dick (10/3), Youarenotforgiven (9/2), Darvel (11/2), Beau Jardine (6/1), Alazwar (15/2), Most Wanted (20/1), Intercessor (28/1), Afta Party (66/1)

BEAU JARDINE returns to a favoured course and is on a tempting mark so could be the answer. Silent Flame brings strong credentials as a three-time Salisbury winner who ran well when second at Chepstow recently. Ajrad is thriving with two recent wins followed by a creditable second and completes the shortlist.
