Hammer The Hammer²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 104| D

13/2

Three wins from 7 runs this year, the latest at Chester in May. Respectable fifth of 25 in handicap at Ayr (6f, soft, 20/1) 21 days ago, running on. Now 2 lb lower and he's a strong candidate for the yard that has saddled 2 of the last 8 winners of this handicap.

Form: 111205

Northern Ticker²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 102| CD

9/2

C&D winner in August. 10/1, respectable sixth of 25 in handicap at Ayr (6f, soft) 21 days ago, left poorly placed. Effectively 2 lb lower (was 2 lb 'wrong' at Ayr) and this 3-y-o is a major player.

Form: 13-0416

Sir Yoshi³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: G A Harker| OR: 101

40/1

10/1, excellent second of 7 in handicap at Navan (5f, good) 35 days ago, suited by way race developed. First run for yard after leaving David Marnane and he'll probably find one or two too good.

Form: 354422

Blue Storm¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: G Tutty| OR: 98

18/1

Below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good, 8/1) 14 days ago, but he wasn't given a hard time and should be closer to concert pitch now. One to consider.

Form: 2619-64

(13)

Gleneagle Bay^b1,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D Egan| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 97| BF

9/1

5/6, respectable second of 6 in minor event at Gowran (7f, soft) 21 days ago. Perhaps the first-time blinkers will help eke out a little more and, if so, this Irish raider could have a part to play.

Form: 530242

(9)

Commanche Falls^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 97| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2023. 16/1, below form twelfth of 25 in handicap at Ayr (6f, soft) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he looks vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 687290

(5)

Korker⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 95| C

14/1

Course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good to soft, 12/1) 8 days ago and he needs to bounce back.

Form: 380068

Jordan Electrics⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J S Goldie| OR: 95| D

22/1

14/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Ascot (5f, soft) 7 days ago, merely closing up late. Has slipped to a workable mark, but others come into this with stronger credentials based on recent exploits.

Form: 905808

(17)

Strike Red²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 93| CD

20/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 18/1, twenty-second of 25 in handicap at Ayr (6f, soft) 21 days ago. Winner of 2 of the last 3 renewals of this and has edged back to the same mark as when successful 12 months ago, but he's nevertheless likely to find one or two too good this time round.

Form: 856290

(4)

Dark Cloud Rising³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 92| D

16/1

Respectable 3½ lengths eighth of 16 to Eternal Sunshine in handicap (17/2) at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) 35 days ago, doing too much too soon. Others make more appeal.

Form: 309128

Gweedore^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 91

28/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 28/1, respectable seventh of 25 in handicap at Ayr (6f, soft) 21 days ago. Others look stronger.

Form: 9-08227

(21)

Bergerac^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 90| CD

40/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Hamilton in June. Twenty-third of 25 in handicap at Ayr (6f, soft, 40/1) 21 days ago and yard saddles a more appealing contender in Hammer The Hammer.

Form: 143040

(16)

Uncle Don¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 91

20/1

7/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good) 14 days ago, finishing with running left. Enters calculations off the same mark here, which is 6 lb below that off which he started this season.

Form: 27-5054

(11)

King's Lynn^p³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding| OR: 89| D

25/1

Latest win at Haydock in July. 20/1, fifteenth of 20 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good) 35 days ago and several of the others make more appeal for win purposes.

Form: 316320

(6)

Binhareer²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 89| D

9/2

Latest win at Ayr in July. 5/1, creditable sixth of 25 in handicap at Ayr (6f, soft) 21 days ago. Eased 1 lb since and it's not hard to envisage this son of Dark Angel playing a leading role.

Form: 4-71236

(18)

Eternal Sunshine¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Lauren Young⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 88| D

16/1

Eight wins from 29 Flat runs. 3 wins from 16 runs this year. Well backed when creditable third of 18 in handicap at this course (5f, good, 4/1) 1 day ago.

Form: 111333

(12)

Rousing Encore¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 87| CD

14/1

C&D winner. 7/2, won 13-runner handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft) 11 days ago, readily. Needs more up 5 lb in this tougher race, but he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 400581

(3)

Purest Time²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Joanna Mason| T: Ian Williams| OR: 87| D

40/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Last of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (6.5f, good, 12/1) 27 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 097220

Loom¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: D Fentiman| T: R A Fahey| OR: 87

80/1

Fourteenth of 18 in handicap (14/1) at this course (5f, good) 1 day ago. Has work to do.

Forecasts

Binhareer (9/2), Northern Ticker (9/2), Hammer The Hammer (13/2), Commanche Falls (9/1), Gleneagle Bay (9/1), Eye Of Dubai (12/1), Korker (14/1), Rousing Encore (14/1), Eternal Sunshine (16/1), Dark Cloud Rising (16/1), Blue Storm (18/1), Strike Red (20/1), Uncle Don (20/1), Jordan Electrics (22/1), King's Lynn (25/1), Sergeant Wilko (25/1), Gweedore (28/1), Purest Time (40/1), Bergerac (40/1), Sir Yoshi (40/1), Toyotomi (50/1), Loom (80/1)

The vote goes to BLUE STORM, who stepped up on his belated reappearance when an eye-catching fourth at Haydock a fortnight ago and he has dipped 1 lb below the mark off which he scored at around this time last year. Binhareer did well under the circumstances in the Silver Cup at Ayr recently and is second choice, while Northern Ticker, who wasn't ideally placed when just behind the re-opposing Hammer The Hammer in the Gold Cup at that meeting, is also feared. Uncle Don is another key player.
