Always A Star³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 70

6/5

4/1, good third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 30 days ago. Winner of that race has gone in again since and this 4-y-o looks sure to give another good account.

Form: 335233

Helmsley²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: R M Beckett| OR: 75

9/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 6/1) 22 days ago. Not hard to envisage this filly taking a sizeable step forward now moving up in trip for this handicap debut.

Form: 64-3

Everyoneknowsadave²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: George Wood| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 74| C

6/1

Course winner. Latest win here in July. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, good to firm, 9/1) 22 days ago, clear of rest. 3-7 on AW and he's not discounted.

Form: 941263

Inquisition¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 74| BF

7/1

Latest win at Yarmouth in July. 5/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Leicester (10f, firm) 18 days ago, not clear run. Successful on latest AW start in June and she should have a part to up in trip here, granted better luck.

The Bay Warrior¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Tyler Heard| T: M D I Usher| OR: 67| C| D

22/1

Course winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 7/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 14 days ago, always holding on. 2 lb nudge fair enough and while more will be needed in this stronger race, he's impossible to rule out given his record round here.

Form: 2-15021

(3)

Amidst The Chaos¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Garritty| T: N Tinkler| OR: 72

16/1

Twi wins from 6 runs this year, the latest win at Musselburgh in August. Fifth of 6 in handicap (3/1) at Epsom (8.5f, soft) 16 days ago and his stamina has to be taken on trust now going beyond 9f for the first time.

Form: 574115

(7)

Phrygia^h²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 72| D

9/1

Winner at Kempton in June. 9/2, creditable third of 7 in handicap at this C&D 25 days ago. Hood back on and while she's not without each-way hope, one or two of these make more appeal.

Kintbury¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding| OR: 68

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, very good ¾-length third of 6 to The Bay Warrior in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 14 days ago. It's still early days for this filly and she should make her presence felt.

Form: 3343

Forecasts

Always A Star (6/5), Helmsley (9/2), Everyoneknowsadave (6/1), Inquisition (7/1), Phrygia (9/1), Relocal (12/1), Amidst The Chaos (16/1), Kintbury (22/1), The Bay Warrior (22/1)

Having shaped well on her belated seasonal reappearance at Kempton, HELMSLEY could be about to sprout wings now pitched into a handicap and faced with a stiffer test (very much bred for middle-distances). A first career win will surely not evade Always A Star for too much longer and he is feared on the back of a close C&D third behind a couple of progressive 3-y-os. Inquisition is proving consistent and should make her presence felt.
