Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Egan| T: G Harris| OR: 80| D

11/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year, latest at Ffos Las in August. 9/1, shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, firm) just over 2 weeks ago, left poorly placed. Can get back on the up.

2/1

Winner at Windsor in May. 15/8, again shaped better than the bare result when fourth of 12 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good) 23 days ago, late headway after blindfold removed late. Remains of interest.

Carron¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: W Buick| T: C Hills| OR: 80

6/1

2 wins from 5 runs this year, latest at Leicester in July. Wasn't in the same form when fifth of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Ripon (8f, good to firm) just under 2 weeks ago. Expected to be bang there returned to a more conventional track.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C G Cox| OR: 76

20/1

14/1, back to best when third of 8 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 6 weeks ago, running on. Player if able to build on that heading up in trip.

Criminal Shore^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76| D

16/1

Winner at Ripon in April. Below form when fourth of 6 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 4/1) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Lady Justice³⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 75

11/1

13/2, got back on track to a degree when fifth of 7 in novice at Goodwood (8f, soft) when last seen 12 months ago. Clearly not been the easiest to get to the track but could step forward now handicapping.

Form: 165-

Whizz By^t⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: T Ward| OR: 75| BF

7/2

Latest win at Goodwood in June. Respectable second of 14 in handicap (5/2) at Chester (7.6f, good to firm) 11 weeks ago, finding only a thriving sort too good. Considered having been freshened up since.

Island Hero¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Colin Keane| T: H Main| OR: 75

20/1

Wasn't in the same form as when runner-up in January when seventh of 8 in novice (15/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 6 months ago. Makes handicap/turf debut and will need to hit the ground running (has been gelded).

Form: 7-27

25/1

No impact in handicaps this season, latest when last of 7 at this course (10f, good, 33/1) 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time but has plenty to prove.

Form: 202-057

8/1

Remained in good heart when fourth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (9f, good, 9/1) 38 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can give another good account from his revised mark.

Sea Suite²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P Cosgrave| T: James Owen| OR: 70| BF

33/1

7/4, first run since leaving Charles Hills when third of 11 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) 25 days ago, taking a step back in the right direction with the aid of a good position. Makes handicap debut and can progress again for his excellent new handler.

Form: 4603

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Darragh Keenan| T: R Burdon| OR: 67

80/1

50/1, offered little when tenth of 11 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) 25 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Needs to take a huge step forward.

Forecasts

Man Of La Mancha (2/1), Whizz By (7/2), Carron (6/1), Atmosphere (8/1), Lady Justice (11/1), Nakaaha (11/1), Criminal Shore (16/1), Give Me The Night (16/1), Worthington Lake (20/1), Island Hero (20/1), Moon Sniper (25/1), Lazieelunch (25/1), Sea Suite (33/1), Dust Cover (80/1)

An open-looking contest which can go the way of CARRON, who wasn't beaten far at Ripon just under a fortnight ago and Charlie Hills' colt can get back on the up returned to a more conventional track. His main threat may emerge from Man of la Mancha, who isn't getting much luck at present and again shaped better than the bare result at Brighton last time. Whizz By and Sea Suite round off the shortlist.
