Cogitate^p⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 84| D

5/2

Only 2 wins to name and yet to score on all-weather but recent stable debut when fifth of 12 at Sandown was satisfactory and now faces a lower grade than he's encountered for a while.

Form: 2-20735

Eminency^h,t⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 84| D

15/2

A 3-time 6f/7f winner in the second half of 2025. Decent efforts in defeat this year, including when fourth of 18 on his return to turf at Newmarket 7 weeks ago. Not so good at Doncaster last time but now back down in grade returned to all-weather.

Padua^t²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Billy Loughnane| T: H Morrison| OR: 78| D

5/1

Usually a free-going sort who was far too keen when last of 11 at Yarmouth on return from 10 months off. Returned to form when fourth of 10 in a 7f handicap at Epsom 26 days ago and holds place claims if not pulling his chance away returned to all-weather.

Form: 5414-04

King Of Fury²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Dods| OR: 77| CD

12/1

Won over C&D 22 days ago having proved too headstrong over longer distances this season. It could be that 7f is his ideal trip, but he'll need to take a step forward facing a 7 lb higher mark in a much better contest.

Shaman Champion¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: C G Cox| OR: 83

13/2

Yet to fire this season for new connections and was last of 11 in a handicap at Ascot 17 days ago, having raced freely on first start over 1m. Makes his all-weather debut back down in trip with plenty to prove.

Form: 282-700

White Crown Star⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S D Bowen| T: Ian Williams| OR: 76| D

25/1

Previously trained by Andrew Balding and won on all-weather on reappearance last year. Off 11 months and gelded before last month's flop on debut for this yard, though, and must have come on plenty for that.

Form: 23339-0

Star Of Mali³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: J Tate| OR: 75| CD

5/1

Free-going sort who has recorded both his wins over this C&D and his most recent success in June is working out extremely well. Only 3 lb higher and is one to take very seriously upped in grade.

Form: 5216-31

Feel The Need⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Herrington| OR: 71| C| D

12/1

Best effort this year when second of 8 over C&D from 2 lb higher mark in January. Mid-field in competitive events at York both starts since returning from 4 months off and could go well back at this track.

Form: 400-200

(10)

Chale Chalo^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 76| D

12/1

Second of 8 over C&D in January but has struggled on turf in 2 runs since returning from a break. Return to all-weather could help.

Form: 931-290

(1)

Korbut¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 72

12/1

Has been second in 4 of last 5 starts, most recently at Wolverhampton in a maiden 10 days ago in first-time cheekpieces. Makes handicap debut with that equipment removed and needs progress in this deeper race.

Forecasts

Cogitate (5/2), Star Of Mali (5/1), Padua (5/1), Shaman Champion (13/2), Eminency (15/2), Comic Hero (8/1), King Of Fury (12/1), Korbut (12/1), Feel The Need (12/1), Chale Chalo (12/1), White Crown Star (25/1)

STAR OF MALI won a race at this track that is working out really well and a 3 lb rise for that leaves him well treated. Comic Hero also has strong recent form to his name and is proven on all-weather, while Feel The Need is another to consider back at this venue.
