Red Hat Eagle^p,t1¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Taylor Fisher| T: W J Knight| OR: 70| C

4/1

Hasn't fired this year but is edging down the weights. Poorly placed when fifth of 7 in a handicap over C&D 12 days ago. Wears a tongue strap for the first time and drops back down in grade.

Bold Suitor^b¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Craig Benton| OR: 70| CD

33/1

Won narrowly over C&D in April but was last of 7 in higher grade here 12 days ago. Blinkers back on and returned to his right level so should do better.

Form: 3-42157

The Bitter Moose^v⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: David Probert| T: P R Chamings| OR: 69| CD

11/2

C&D winner who was third of 5 in a handicap at Brighton in June with visor reapplied last time. More required back on all-weather after 59 days off.

Form: 10-4033

Gunfighter²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: P J Dobbs| T: J Butler| OR: 69| BF| D

4/1

Won over 7f at Southwell in July but couldn't follow up when seventh of 10 at Wolverhampton 20 days ago, not settling fully when the pace was slack. Could get a stronger tempo to chase here and could bounce back for in-form yard.

Form: 00-7917

State Of Madness¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Paddy Bradley| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 67

6/1

Showed promise when second of 5 at Brighton in June but wasn't in the same form when fourth of 6 there 14 days ago. Largely consistent so is capable of bouncing back returned to all-weather.

Double Time^h,t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 66

28/1

Front runner who last won in October at Kempton on all-weather but was last of 12 at Sandown 28 days ago, shaping as if badly needing the run after 6 months off. Returns to all-weather but needs to strip a lot fitter for that reappearance run.

Form: 6146-70

Dontspoilasale¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: J & S Best| OR: 66

40/1

Being brought along gradually since joining this yard and didn't show much when last of 6 at Brighton 14 days ago. Now returns to all-weather but remains without the headgear he wore for former stable.

Form: 746766

Starlight Sami³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: George Bass| T: D J Coakley| OR: 70| D

9/2

Progressed when third over C&D in April before winning at Salisbury in May, but has run below form both starts since. Needs the return to all-weather to spark him back into form.

Form: 28-3107

Yachtsman^t³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: Jack Morland| OR: 69

18/1

Off the mark at Windsor over 6f in May having failed to stay 7f previously. Below form when ninth of 12 at Wolverhampton 34 days ago and now steps back up to 7f with stamina a concern.

Form: 347149

Powder Monkey⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: G Boughey| OR: 69

15/2

Showed promise when second on debut but hasn't kicked on since. No progress when sixth of 14 on handicap debut at Windsor in May when gelded and tried sprinting for first time. Back up to 7f after 89 days off and less exposed than most of these so not without hope.

Form: 2356

Paranjape^p1⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: S Woods| OR: 68

20/1

Second at Southwell over 6f in April after 4 months off but hasn't recaptured that form since, including upped to 1m last time. First-time cheekpieces now applied.

Form: 15-2746

Split Elevens (5/2), Red Hat Eagle (4/1), Gunfighter (4/1), Starlight Sami (9/2), The Bitter Moose (11/2), State Of Madness (6/1), Powder Monkey (15/2), Dancing Rinca (16/1), Yachtsman (18/1), Paranjape (20/1), Sant Alessio (20/1), Double Time (28/1), Bold Suitor (33/1), Dontspoilasale (40/1)

GUNFIGHTER (in the absence of stablemate Split Elevens) looks the way to go having not been seen to best effect at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago. 3-y-os Powder Monkey and Paranjape could be the biggest dangers.
