Steel Tiger⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: S De Sousa| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 85

11/2

Very progressive on AW but struggled twice on turf at the start of the summer. Has his first outing for 11 weeks here.

Form: 41-1200

Cannon Rock⁴⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: S D Bowen| T: James Owen| OR: 84

50/1

Well beaten on Worcester hurdle debut in July but could go well back on the Flat if in anything like the same form as when second at Kempton off 2 lb higher in May.

Form: 1/16020-

Flash Bardot⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: J Channon| OR: 83

11/2

Down the field in 2 AW starts on return in July. Starting to look well handicapped but tends to save her best for soft ground so would need to see rain to consider.

Form: 9320-00

Morcar^b²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 81| C

28/1

All win over 1¼m, including twice here. Latest win at Lingfield in May. Goodwood third in June seems to show he's fully effective around 1½m but latest well-held third at Sandown was a below-par effort.

Form: 312333

Yorkshire Lady²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: C Lee| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 80

25/1

9/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (1¼m, good) 21 days ago, well positioned. Has raced mainly over shorter on the Flat but a 2m hurdle win suggests she should stay this far.

Form: 02-9694

Likealot⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 87| BF

11/4

Lightly-raced winner. 4/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11f) 50 days ago. Pulled clear of the rest on that occasion and could still be well treated off 2 lb higher.

Form: 1632

(6)

Just An Hour¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 78| C

9/2

Three wins from 7 runs this year, the latest over 1¼m here under Oisin Murphy in July . Has recorded a pair of creditable in-frame efforts since and should give another good account with Murphy taking the reins again.

Form: 314124

Byblos¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 83| BF| D

5/2

Winner of 11f maiden at Southwell in August. Beaten favourite in a handicap again when third of 7 at Newbury (1½m, good to firm) but he was caught further back than ideal and the suspicion remains he can go close at the least from this mark.

Form: 22-5413

Forecasts

Byblos (5/2), Likealot (11/4), Just An Hour (9/2), Steel Tiger (11/2), Flash Bardot (11/2), Mrs Twig (10/1), Yorkshire Lady (25/1), Morcar (28/1), Cannon Rock (50/1)

LIKEALOT has a steadily progressive profile and can land a second career success. Fellow 3-y-o Byblos had a possible excuse when beaten favourite at Newbury last time and is second choice ahead of Just An Hour, who was successful at this course in July under today's rider Oisin Murphy.
