Bountiful^t⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 91

8/1

Won twice on turf last summer before excellent fourth in Group 2 at Newmarket. However, hasn't really kicked on this time around, cheekpieces on for 1st time when ninth of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (1m) 54 days ago. Eased 2 lb ahead of this but others look stronger.

Form: 14-3049

French Sand^p1³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 89

18/1

Off the mark at third attempt in maidens at Wolverhampton (6f) in April. Not disgraced in face of stiff task when sixth at listed level next time but could only finish ninth of 18 on handicap debut at York (7f) 31 days ago. Return to AW/ease in class but likely positives now, though. Cheekpieces on.

Bellarchi¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 84| CD

17/2

Dual C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Musselburgh in August. 10/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 15 days ago, running on. Fancied to be in the mix again.

Forty Years On¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan| T: George Scott| OR: 86| D

85/40

Mayson filly who is proving most progressive, bringing up the hat-trick in 12-runner handicap at Ascot (7f, good to soft) 16 days ago with a fair bit in hand. 4 lb rise on the back of that looks fair and she looks of serious interest again with the prospect of even more to come.

Ormolulu²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: G Tutty| OR: 82| BF| C

14/1

5-time course winner (all at 6f) who comes here having shaped better than the bare result when sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 4/1) 24 days ago. Well enough treated if getting more luck but her style means she needs everything to drop right.

Maybe Not³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 83| D

9/4

Upwardly-mobile Pinatubo filly who doubled her tally at Kempton (1m) last month and ran another cracker up in class when second of 18 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Rates a serious player again on the back of a 2 lb rise.

Form: 4-31212

Gaiety Musical⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: P D Evans| OR: 79| C

16/1

Four AW wins at the start of the year and she comes here on the back of a respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good, 18/1) 45 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. Booking of Tom Marquand catches the eye but her mark is probably about right.

Form: 925384

Fantasy Obsessor³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ray Dawson| T: M Appleby| OR: 77| C| D

14/1

Bagged a pair of AW novices here and Chelmsford in early summer and fared better than she had on handicap debut when tenth of 19 in handicap at York (5f) 32 days ago, noted making good late ground. Return to 7f will hold no fears and she remains capable of better after just 4 career starts.

Form: 1160

Whizz By^t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: George Wood| T: T Ward| OR: 75| CD

12/1

3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Goodwood in June. 7/2, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Sandown (1m, soft) 23 days ago. Return to this shorter trip rates a plus and this likeable sort ought to give another good account.

Forty Years On (85/40), Maybe Not (9/4), Arabian Leopard (15/2), Bountiful (8/1), Bellarchi (17/2), Golden Thorn (10/1), Whizz By (12/1), Ormolulu (14/1), Fantasy Obsessor (14/1), Gaiety Musical (16/1), French Sand (18/1)

FORTY YEARS ON continued on her upward curve when bringing up the hat-trick with a fair bit in hand on handicap debut at Ascot 16 days ago and a 4 lb rise for that success may not be enough to prevent George Scott's Mayson filly notching the 4-timer. Maybe Not boasts a very solid profile herself in handicaps and rates the chief threat. Whizz By and Bellarchi are others in the mix for each-way purposes.
