Dual 1½m course winner last winter. Started 2026 with a pair of good runner-up efforts on turf, including 1¾m, and freshened up since a lesser run at Sandown at the beginning of July. Capable of bouncing back.

Velvet Whisper102
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-2| J: D Tudhope| T: E Bethell| OR:  74
Improved when winning in the mud at Nottingham (1¼m) and Musselburgh (12.5f) on final 2 starts last year but returned with a couple of below-par runs in the spring. Given a break since. Up in trip. Showed promise on tapeta at the start of her career.

Age: 5|  Weight: 10-2| J: R Havlin| T: Kerry Lee| OR:  74
AW winner for Tom Ward last summer. Underwhelming over hurdles for current yard. Fared better back on the Flat when fourth of 9 in handicap at Chester (2m, good to soft) in June but well beaten on AW since.

C&D winner who arrives on the back of some creditable placed efforts on turf. Has to enter calculations.

White Storm35
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-8| J: S De Sousa| T: S & E Crisford| OR:  75
Showed plenty when runner-up to a good prospect in a Kempton novice (11f) on debut in May. Has disappointed in 2 subsequent turf outings but no surprise were he to get his career back on track now returning to all-weather for his handicap debut.

Heroics45
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A King| OR:  74| D
Overcame concerns about his stamina when opening his account in 4-runner handicap at Sandown (1¾m, good to soft) in June. Respectable fifth of 7 over the same trip in Newmarket Class 2 last month. Back in a lower grade now and has Oisin Murphy doing the steering.

Flash Kozo22
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-3| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: Harry Eustace| OR:  70| D
Off the mark in 9-runner handicap at Southwell (1¾m) 22 days ago, adding to a solid all-weather record. Raised 5 lb but he may have more to come on this surface.

Kakirra20
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: Ollie Sangster| OR:  67| BF| C
Much improved since sent handicapping, completing a 4-timer (including twice over 1½m here) between May and July. Winning run halted but lost nothing in defeat when second at Sandown (1¾m, good) 20 days ago. Should go well again.

Forecasts

Flash Kozo (3/1), Kakirra (7/2), White Storm (6/1), Velvet Whisper (7/1), Heroics (7/1), So Alex (8/1), Dance Time (8/1), Percy Jones (14/1), Kingdom Of Stars (33/1)

Verdict

Harry Eustace 3-y-o FLASH KOZO has a progressive profile on all-weather and might be able to cope with a 5 lb rise for Southwell. Dance Time, So Alex and Kakirra head the dangers in a competitive finale.
