Mister Sketch³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Saleh Faraj Al-otaibi⁽⁵⁾| T: H Al Jehani| OR: 87| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Last of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Ripon (6f, good) 39 days ago, slowly away. Opposable on the back of that low-key effort.

Form: 0396-00

(7)

Under The Twilight²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Harry Davies| T: M Blake| OR: 86| BF| CD

3/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Windsor in June. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good, 2/1) 25 days ago, clear of rest. Proving consistent and another bold show is on the cards.

Form: 447123

Wodao^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Billy Loughnane| T: J A Osborne| OR: 86

11/2

Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 33/1) 24 days ago. Thunder Blue is the stable first-string.

Form: 4240-56

Thunder Blue^b,t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 83| D

11/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 7/2, last of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Went close at Windsor on penultimate start and a reproduction of that would give him every chance.

Form: 587P27

Zouky⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Menuisier| OR: 82| DWS

7/2

10 lengths last of 10 to Cloud Cover in listed race at Chelmsford City (7f, 80/1) 73 days ago and while this is a more realistic assignment, she is passed over all the same. Has undergone a wind op.

Form: 8/549-80

(5)

Monsieur Kodi¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| D

4/1

Latest win at Hamilton in July. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 15/2) 10 days ago, nearest finish. Couldn't rule out.

Form: 731045

(3)

Thunderous Love^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 73| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Six wins from 23 Flat runs. 5 wins from 9 runs this year, the latest gained here in July. Last of 5 in handicap (3/1) at Pontefract (6f, good) 26 days ago and it could be that she's a shade too high in the weights for now.

Form: 311215

Forecasts

Under The Twilight (3/1), Zouky (7/2), Monsieur Kodi (4/1), Wodao (11/2), Mister Sketch (6/1), Thunderous Love (8/1), Thunder Blue (11/1)

UNDER THE TWILIGHT has gone close both starts subsequent to resuming winning ways at Windsor in June and, still on a fair mark, she makes plenty of appeal. Next on the list is Thunder Blue, who will be a big player if he puts his best foot forward, while Monsieur Kodi and Thunderous Love can do battle for minor honours.
