Little Empire²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss A B O'Connor| T: A McCann| OR: 81| BF| D

10/1

Largely reliable type who has reached the frame on 6 of his 8 starts this year, including fourth at Musselburgh off a similar mark on his latest visit to Britain. Likely to be very competitive again.

Form: 354263

Cancan In The Rain^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Georgie Benson| T: Gihan Arnolda| OR: 76| D

11/4

Successful at Southwell (7f) and Newmarket (1m) last summer. Has made a bright start for present trainer, including fourth of 17 over 7f here in July. Another good effort with first-time cheekpieces replacing a visor when third of 10 at Newmarket (7f) 15 days ago. Fancied to be on the premises.

Form: 14-4483

(7)

Stratocracy²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Lauren Frost| T: K Frost| OR: 76| D

10/1

Successful on all-weather over the winter. Back to that level when close third of 18 at York (7f, good) in July but needs to shrug off a lesser run at Newbury since.

Form: 1-65535

Dannick^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Alice Crowley⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 73| D

13/2

Took a while to get off the mark but latest 1m Lingfield success was his second win in his last 4 starts. It came in an apprentice race so he escapes a penalty and actually competes off 1 lb lower. Placed twice at Ascot last year. Obvious claims.

Form: 851251

Atmosphere^v⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Georgia King| T: R Spencer| OR: 73| BF| D

16/1

Versatile performer who was successful 3 times during 2025. Knocking on the door with back-to-back seconds at Kempton over the spring but disappointed back from a break at Epsom in July. Off for a further 7 weeks since.

Form: 13-3225

(8)

Calyxoh^v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Amy Collier| T: P Morris| OR: 72

28/1

Ran one of this season's better races to prove his stamina for 1m when third of 8 at Newmarket (good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Unsure to be in the same form here, though.

Form: 973043

Tex^p,t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: George Baker| OR: 72| C

2/1

Returned from a break to open his account over 7f here in July. Went like the best horse at the weights when second of 9 to Sea Suite at Brighton (1m, good) 30 days ago, just failing despite hanging. Major player under Brodie Hampson (won race last year).

Form: 230192

Eazy On The Eye⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Thomosina Eyston| T: H Main| OR: 71

7/1

First past post (demoted for impeding rival) at Wolverhampton in March. Back in top form of late, finishing runner-up on her last 3 starts, the latest over 1m at Windsor (good to soft) last Saturday.

Form: 370222

Bold Suitor¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: Miss Taryn Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: Craig Benton| OR: 69| D

125/1

Won narrowly at Lingfield (7f, all-weather) in April but has run only respectably in his 3 outings since. It remains to be seen whether a return to turf for the first time in over 2 years helps.

Form: 421576

(11)

The Bitter Moose^v¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Miss Megan Jordan| T: P R Chamings| OR: 68

25/1

Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 15 days ago but remains 2 lb above the mark he defied at Epsom just over a year ago.

Form: 0-40333

(10)

Port Louis⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Miss C Edwards⁽⁷⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 63| D

100/1

On a long losing run. Best recent effort when third at Ffos Las (1m, 40/1) in June but has failed to beat a rival twice since.

Form: 080388

Forecasts

Tex (2/1), Cancan In The Rain (11/4), Dannick (13/2), Eazy On The Eye (7/1), Little Empire (10/1), Stratocracy (10/1), Atmosphere (16/1), The Bitter Moose (25/1), Calyxoh (28/1), Port Louis (100/1), Bold Suitor (125/1)

DANNICK runs off 1 lb lower than when scoring with something to spare at Lingfield 10 days ago so should take a bit of stopping if showing up here in similar form. Tex went close at Brighton last time, despite hanging into the camber, and this recent 7f course winner is feared most ahead of Irish raider Little Empire.
