Starfighter²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Donagh Murphy⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 54| CD

12/1

Four-time C&D winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 28/1) 20 days ago. Return to this course can help and he's on a workable mark, but others are more appealing all the same.

Form: 256479

On The Right Track¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Archie Young| T: M D I Usher| OR: 54| CD

8/1

Three-time C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Last of 5 in handicap (11/4) at this course (14f) 15 days ago. Bit to prove on the back of that, albeit it will be interesting if the market again speaks in his favour.

Form: 3/6752-5

Naughty Niall^p³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Toby Moore⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 53

4/1

Latest win at Yarmouth in July. 10/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D 31 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he's in with an each-way shout.

Ten Ten Twenty^t,p⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Ethan Tindall⁽³⁾| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 49| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (14f, 20/1) 49 days ago, not ideally placed. Likely to find one or two too good once more.

Form: 0/17-656

Cloud Free⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 48WS

28/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 18/1 and hooded for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 46 days ago. Since undergone a wind op and needs to bounce back.

Courageous Gold^p1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Taryn Langley| T: D M Simcock| OR: 45

14/1

Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (25/1) at this course (16.6f) 17 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Back down in trip and cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs to find improvement from somewhere.

Form: 486895

Rampant^v⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Nicholls| T: P Morris| OR: 45

20/1

Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. 11/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 54 days ago. Up in trip and place possibilities.

Form: 543664

Duchess^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Isobelle Chalmers⁽⁵⁾| T: John Berry| OR: 45

22/1

One win from 25 Flat runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 8-23440

(9)

Knight Of Magic^h⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Millie Wonnacott| T: James Owen| OR: 45

5/4

Very good third of 9 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 18/1) 7 days ago, clear of rest. This step back up in trip looks a good move and he's one to be interested in.

Form: 64-3543

(7)

Dancing Bay^t1,p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis| T: J Candlish| OR: 47

14/1

10/1, last of 9 in handicap at this course (16.6f) 17 days ago. Down in trip and tongue strap on 1st time. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 994949

Clipsham Noble^h²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Oliver Carmichael⁽³⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 46

33/1

One win from 21 Flat runs. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 14/1) 21 days ago. Up in trip and hood back on. Opposable.

Form: 237860

(12)

Scheming^h²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Rose Dawes| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 46

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 21 days ago, not clear run. Up in trip and hood refitted for this tapeta debut. Readily passed over.

Form: 98-980

Forecasts

Knight Of Magic (5/4), Naughty Niall (4/1), On The Right Track (8/1), Ten Ten Twenty (11/1), Starfighter (12/1), Courageous Gold (14/1), Dancing Bay (14/1), Scheming (18/1), Rampant (20/1), Duchess (22/1), Cloud Free (28/1), Clipsham Noble (33/1)

The one who appeals most is KNIGHT OF MAGIC, who is 0-14 on the Flat but produced his best effort yet on third run for this yard over 9.5f here last week and the return to this trip will be in his favour. The consistent Naughty Niall is the clear main danger, with Rampant best of the rest.
