Kodi Lion³⁴

King's Lynn^p¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 88| D

9/1

Latest win at Haydock in July. 25/1, respectable fifth of 19 in handicap at York (6f, good) 13 days ago, slowly away. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 163205

(7)

Champagne Powder⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: Oliver Cole| OR: 90| BF

33/1

Fourth of 8 in maiden (evens) at Compiegne (8f, soft). Off 92 days ahead of this handicap debut and others boast more compelling credentials.

Form: 43-274

(3)

Uncle Don¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 89

17/2

20/1, below form eleventh of 19 in handicap at York (6f, good) 13 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Couldn't rule out.

12/1

17/2, good second of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good) 41 days ago, doing too much too soon. Key player.

Form: 900742

(12)

Rare Change²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 86| D

20/1

Three wins from 8 runs this year, the latest at Pontefract in June. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 33/1) 27 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 017060

(11)

Bold Impact^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 85| D

16/1

Lightly-raced winner. Good fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 11/2) 20 days ago. Blinkers back on and he's not discounted.

Form: 3221-4

(13)

Echalar³⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rowan Scott| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 84

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 4 in novice at this course (8f, good to soft, 25/1). Off 13 months ahead of this handicap debut and he's opposable on this occasion.

Form: 633-

(1)

Headmaster^t1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 83| D

9/2

Winner at Haydock in July. Eighth of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Kempton (8f) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Best form so far has come on good/good to firm, so forecast conditions here are a concern.

Form: 221008

Forecasts

Telemark (4/1), Headmaster (9/2), Brian (9/2), Christian David (8/1), Uncle Don (17/2), Kodi Lion (9/1), King's Lynn (9/1), Glenfinnan (12/1), Bold Impact (16/1), Tarkhan (16/1), Rare Change (20/1), Champagne Powder (33/1), Echalar (33/1)

The vote goes to TELEMARK, who has shaped well both starts since returning from a summer break and he's now 1 lb below the mark off which he landed a Doncaster handicap on good to soft last September. Glenfinnan is greatly respected on the back of a fine second in a valuable race in Ireland, while Uncle Don merits respect off this mark and Kodi Lion could also have a part to play back at 7f.
