Popeye Doyle^p,t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: H Palmer| OR: 70| D

5/1

Two wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Kempton (8f, 10/3) 24 days ago, kept up to work. Record on AW is 2-3 and while a 6 lb rise demands more, he has to be respected in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 06-0911

Grey Soul⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Aidan Keeley| T: R Varian| OR: 70

5/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in maiden at Ripon (6f, soft, 15/2) 47 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this handicap debut (also gelded since latest start) and he's one to consider with improvement likely.

Form: 546

Antiquity²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 70| D

14/1

Three wins from 8 runs this year, the latest at Nottingham in April. 16/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 25 days ago, never nearer. Can make presence felt.

Form: 221164

Frostmagic^v1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Suraj Narredu| T: I Mohammed & J Santos| OR: 70| C

18/1

Course winner. Latest win here in June. Last of 5 in handicap (7/2) at Newmarket (10f, good) 19 days ago. Hopes pinned on the addition of a visor helping to spark some improvement.

Form: 121375

Bear Island³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson| T: D Menuisier| OR: 70| D

3/1

Winner at Kempton in July. 3/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (8f, good) 30 days ago. Did the job well at Kempton on penultimate start and may well build on that now back on the AW, albeit he is unproven on tapeta.

Form: 44-9916

Bin Ajwad⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: J Tate| OR: 68

7/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 12/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at Ffos Las (10f, good to soft) 66 days ago. Makes handicap debut and sizeable step forward needed.

Form: 437

Yuvraaj^t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: M Botti| OR: 68| D

14/1

Winner at Kempton in May. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 5/1) 15 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Place possibilities.

Form: 165464

(6)

Mini Mac¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 66| D

66/1

7/1, last of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 11 days ago and, though not out of this judged on the pick of his form, others are more persuasive.

Form: 642748

(5)

Pearly Squirrel^p³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: I Furtado| OR: 66| BF

14/1

Winner at Doncaster in July. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good to soft, 10/3) 31 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut and will be a threat if taking to this surface.

Form: 621663

(10)

Tiempo Alegre¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Spencer| T: Jack Jones| OR: 64| BF| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Good second of 13 in handicap at this C&D (7/2) 10 days ago. Due to go up 2 lb for that and she's a major player.

Form: 443412

Forecasts

Bear Island (3/1), Popeye Doyle (5/1), Grey Soul (5/1), Bin Ajwad (7/1), Tiempo Alegre (7/1), Riyadh Gem (9/1), Antiquity (14/1), Yuvraaj (14/1), Pearly Squirrel (14/1), Frostmagic (18/1), Mini Mac (66/1)

The one who appeals most is TIEMPO ALEGRE, who did the job in good style over C&D at the end of July and subsequently went down narrowly off this 8 lb higher mark back here, in the process taking her form figures at this course to 13712. Hat-trick seeker Popeye Doyle is feared most but Grey Soul also needs considering on his handicap debut and Pearly Squirrel is another with a chance.
