Flightofthephoenix⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr James Hills⁽⁵⁾| T: C Hills| OR: 68| D

7/2

Opened account from a reduced mark in Kempton handicap last month and followed up in decisive fashion at Ffos Las (12f) 6 days ago. 5 lb penalty to carry now but another bold bid looks assured.

Form: 3-77211

I'd Go Maniac^p³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Georgia King⁽⁵⁾| T: A King| OR: 70| D

17/2

Benefited from the fitting of cheekpieces this summer, gaining reward for his consistency with victory in 8-runner handicap over a similar trip under this pilot at Windsor 31 days ago. Remains feasibly treated if handling this slower ground.

Form: 852431

Ribble River⁴⁷

40/1

Three-time winner for Kevin Ryan, including this event 12 months ago (off 3 lb lower). Disappointed over hurdles for current yard since, though, and remains to be seen if return to the Flat after a breathing operation sparks a revival in form.

Form: 623413-

Austrian Theory^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr Thomas Easterby⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69| BF

3/1

Not successful since 2024 but has been cut plenty of slack by the assessor and there have been more positive signs of late, backing up a good fifth at Newcastle with a solid third of 7 in handicap at Catterick (1½m, good) 17 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Form: 975853

Alpine Sierra³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Kayleigh Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 64| D

25/1

Benefited from going back up in distance in May, completing a hat-trick around this sort of trip. Not been in quite same form since, though, and others appeal more.

Form: 111935

Revelio²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Henry Callan| T: Tom Clover| OR: 62

10/1

Lightly-raced gelding who came close to a winning handicap debut at Lingfield (1¼m) in June and hasn't been seen to best effect since, needing a stronger gallop when fourth at Newmarket (1½m) latest. Merits consideration with excellent amateur booked.

Form: 6-90254

Spirit Catcher³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Daniel Perrin⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 62| BF

11/4

Landed a gamble at Musselburgh in April and generally held form well since, coming in for support again when creditable fourth of 10 in handicap over shorter trip at Ripon 3 days ago. Ought to give another good account.

Form: 285754

Star Start^p³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss C Parker⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 57| BF

5/1

Proved consistent in similar events this summer, winning at Pontefract (10f) in August. Only narrowly failed to add to that victory in Ripon handicap (soft) 3 days ago and can race off same mark here. Respected.

Form: 532122

Shahbaz^b,t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 57| D

25/1

Competitive in amateur races on the all-weather early this year but has struggled back on turf in a trio of starts more recently, including tried in blinkers at Catterick latest.

Form: 824666

Cavalry Call²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Amy Collier| T: P Morris| OR: 55

150/1

Fairly useful at best, but didn't offer much promise for R. Mike Smith (including over hurdles) and has failed to beat a rival in 3 starts for current yard.

Form: 77-8700

(3)

Red Derek⁸¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: Miss Teagan Padgett⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 52| C

33/1

Course winner but 2-57 overall and 20 runs since last victory in 2022. Remote fourth on both starts this season and it's likely the wait for another win will go on.

Form: 356-446

FLIGHTOFTHEPHOENIX carries a penalty for last week's Ffos Las victory but she won in decisive fashion and may be the answer to a tricky-looking opener. Austrian Theory has dropped to an attractive mark and is feared most, whilst Revelio is less exposed than his rivals and has the assistance of Henry Callan.
