Prydwen³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: George Scott| OR: 103| D

9/1

Smart stayer who returned to form when second of 11 over 2m at Chester last month. Considered.

Form: 4P0052

(2)

Duke Of Oxford^t¹¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: M L W Bell| OR: 94| CD

11/2

Four-time C&D winner. Below par in the Chester Cup and Northumberland Plate in the first half of the summer but could be a different proposition back here after a break.

Form: 11-4300

(8)

Master Milliner³²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 92| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Nine wins from 29 Flat runs. Off 13 months, probably needed the run when sixth of 9 at Newmarket 32 days ago. Likely to be sharper now.

Form: 9/0915-6

(10)

Dramatic Star³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 92

85/40

Built on his reappearance when second in the competitive Old Borough Cup at Haydock last month. Might have been unsuited by softer ground at Newbury since. Won his previous AW start. Likely to go well.

Form: 001-629

Enemy^t⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Ian Williams| OR: 92

22/1

Smart at best but operating below that level in 2025. Starting to look well handicapped but isn't obviously likely to capitalise.

Form: 6-06609

(1)

Sheradann^t³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Ian Williams| OR: 89| D

7/1

Winner at Southwell (2m) in August. Not so good on turf at Newmarket since but may do better back on AW.

Form: 633018

Alfred Boucher³²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 87| D

40/1

Developed into a smart handicapper in 2022 but was pulled up having gone wrong at Chester in September of that year and hasn't looked the same horse in just 2 outings since. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 212P/9-0

(4)

Artisan Dancer³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 84| D

9/1

Runner-up 3 times over 2m in August/September and shaped as if still in form (left poorly placed) when fifth of 11 in handicap at Chester (2m, good) 39 days ago. On the shortlist.

Form: 732225

Synergism⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 87| CD

5/2

Gained his third and fourth handicap successes of a very productive campaign over C&D in August. Creditable second of 14 in the Racing League at Newcastle next time and another solid effort when fifth of 13 in the Mallard at the Doncaster St Leger meeting. Much respected back on AW.

Forecasts

Dramatic Star (85/40), Synergism (5/2), Duke Of Oxford (11/2), Prince Of The Seas (13/2), Sheradann (7/1), Artisan Dancer (9/1), Prydwen (9/1), Enemy (22/1), Master Milliner (33/1), Alfred Boucher (40/1)

DRAMATIC STAR had a possible excuse at Newbury last time and his Old Borough Cup second at Haydock prior to that is good form so he's the suggestion in this useful staying handicap. Synergism's excellent AW record (including 2-2 over C&D) makes him an obvious danger. Prydwen and Artisan Dancer also make the shortlist.
