Sant Alessio⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Taylor Fisher| T: J Tickle| OR: 68| C

11/1

11/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (8f, firm) 45 days ago, having run of race. Back up in trip and will need to pull out more if he's to defy this 6 lb higher mark.

Form: 424501

Annexation²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 66

16/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2024. 12/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 27 days ago. Dangerous to discount back on turf, for all that one or two do make more appeal for win purposes.

11/4

Two wins from 6 runs this year. 5/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 14 days ago. 5 lb rise fair and should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick.

Form: 666311

Dragonflame¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: George Bass| T: B J Meehan| OR: 70| BF

5/1

Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 5/2) 15 days ago, never nearer. Return to this trip looks a good move and a first career win for this son of Pinatubo is surely not far away.

Form: 8-82322

In The Post²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Morgan Cole⁽³⁾| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 70

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 14 in novice at Windsor (8.1f, good, 14/1) 22 days ago, having run of race. Back up in trip for this handicap debut and step forward needed.

Form: 323

Twilight Moon^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Jack Dace⁽³⁾| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 70

17/2

Latest win at Leicester in August. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 5 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, soft, 12/1) 12 days ago. Yard also saddles Tap Dancer.

Form: 231144

Jodhpur Blue^t⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 64

12/1

Last of 13 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to firm, 100/1) 66 days ago. Significantly up in trip and he has a fair bit to prove at present.

Form: 21-0870

Bownder^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 68| D

7/1

5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 12 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Calibos^t,b¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jack Doughty| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 67| D

11/1

Winner at Windsor in July. Visored for 1st time, below form third of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Salisbury (9.9f, soft) 18 days ago. Blinkers back on and shouldn't be far away with the forecast quicker ground a plus.

Form: 421333

(13)

Tap Dancer^p1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 67| CD

8/1

C&D winner. 5/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and, unless the headgear sparks some improvement, she will probably come up short once again.

Form: 3315-57

(9)

San Francisco Bay²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Wright⁽³⁾| T: H Candy| OR: 59| D

10/1

Latest win at Nottingham in July. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 7/2) 26 days ago, clear of rest. Likely to be on the premises once again.

Form: 932152

Favourbrook²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis⁽³⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 59

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Good fifth of 11 in handicap (20/1) at this course (8f, heavy) 27 days ago. Up in trip and while more is needed, he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 60-75

Blue Hero^h¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Mason Paetel⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 52| CD

28/1

Four-time C&D winner, the latest gained in August. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap back here (good to soft, 8/1) 16 days ago, missing break. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Forecasts

Stipulation (11/4), Dragonflame (5/1), Bownder (7/1), Tap Dancer (8/1), Twilight Moon (17/2), San Francisco Bay (10/1), Calibos (11/1), Sant Alessio (11/1), Jodhpur Blue (12/1), In The Post (14/1), Annexation (16/1), Spec Of Light (16/1), Blue Hero (28/1), Favourbrook (66/1)

STIPULATION thwarted a progressive 3-y-o filly who was bidding for the hat-trick at Wolverhampton and is taken to succeed where that rival failed and complete the hat-trick himself. A 5 lb rise for that is no great hardship given, especially considering that he pulled nicely clear of the rest with the runner-up that day, and the forecast quick ground here is another positive factor. San Francisco Bay is in good form and is feared most ahead of another in-form candidate in Dragonflame.
