Gold Star Hero^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: H Crouch| T: M L W Bell| OR: 80| D

4/1

Latest win at Yarmouth in September. 14/1, bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good) 17 days ago. Will need to find improvement from somewhere in order to emerge on top here.

Form: 465515

South Parade²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Russell| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78| D

28/1

Latest win at Thirsk in August. Last of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Beverley (5f, soft) 27 days ago. Remains 5 lb above Thirsk winning mark, but she's capable of a bold show.

Form: 593130

Hedge Fund^h³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: M Appleby| OR: 78| D

11/4

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Hooded for 1st time, good third of 14 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm, 6/1) 39 days ago. Has performed with credit all 3 previous runs on the AW and he needs considering.

Form: 7244-93

Sturlasson¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S Donohoe| T: J Ryan| OR: 78| D

2/1

First run since leaving Kieran Patrick Cotter when 6/1, won 12-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) 15 days ago, cosily. That was his sole previous run on the AW and he will have every chance if proving equally effective on this surface.

Form: 0-07591

Grace Angel^b,t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Donagh Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 78| BF| D

17/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Respectable 1½ lengths third of 12 to Sturlasson in handicap at Southwell (5f, 13/8) 15 days ago. Place possibilities.

Form: 655223

Forager³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: S Pearce| OR: 77| D

6/1

Two wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at York in June. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 18/1) 31 days ago, but he looks vulnerable all the same.

Form: 811604

Binadham²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: K P De Foy| OR: 76| D

16/1

Beaten two lengths sixth when in the 7-runner handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good, 11/1) won by Gold Star Hero 28 days ago. Something to find on form.

Abate⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 76| D

50/1

Latest win here in July. Tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, heavy, 33/1) 42 days ago. Others are more persuasive on balance.

Form: 724107

Forecasts

Sturlasson (2/1), Hedge Fund (11/4), Gold Star Hero (4/1), Forager (6/1), Grace Angel (17/2), Fidelius (10/1), Binadham (16/1), Lightning Bear (25/1), South Parade (28/1), Abate (50/1)

The vote goes to HEDGE FUND, who shaped well in a first-time hood (retained here) when a close third at Haydock back from a four-month break and, on that evidence, his turn is almost certainly near. Stall eight isn't ideal for Sturlasson, but he remains well treated judged on past exploits following a 7 lb rise and another bold showing may well be on the way. South Parade is also shortlisted, along with Grace Angel.
