25/1

Three-time C&D winner who is better on all-weather. Seemed unsuited by soft ground at Goodwood last time and return to this surface will suit.

Form: 513-738

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Ebrahim Nader| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 95

28/1

Last success came in the Cambridgeshire back in 2023, though was absent nearly 2 years prior to this season. Not at best when fourth of 5 at Newmarket last time and now returns to the all-weather. Coming down the weights and now tried in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 90/0054

King's Code^v²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Alexandra McDonnell⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 94| C

33/1

Won a 1¼m handicap at Chester in July in a visor but not much promise when last of 8 at Windsor 23 days ago in blinkers. Better on all-weather, though, and has won here 3 times. Visor back on with 7-lb claimer taking over.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 93| CD

15/2

Serious operator at this track having won 7 times and also ran a cracker here when second in strong race in March. Creditable fourth of 9 at Newcastle in June on his latest start and is one to take very seriously returned to his favoured venue after 72 days off.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 91| CD

4/1

Won over C&D on reappearance in April but was last of 12 at Carlisle when last seen in May, perhaps not handling the undulating track, and the return to this venue after 98 days off (goes well fresh) looks sure to suit for top connections.

Form: 47-1520

Incensed³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 89| CD

13/2

Her tendency to blow the start is beginning to look ingrained and she tailed off last of 13 in a handicap at Goodwood in August. Returns to Kempton where she has won twice over C&D, though, which gives her a positive.

Form: 9-23850

Majestic²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: J Channon| OR: 88

33/1

Famous for winning the 2022 Cambridgeshire but not won in this country since. Operating below best this year and now has a rare outing back on the all-weather and looks best opposed.

Primo Lara¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 86| BF| D

5/2

Back-to-back wins in July at Wolverhampton on final outing for Jack Morland and at Ascot before fourth of 16 in a handicap at York 15 days ago, shaping as if at the top of his game when making his effort earlier than ideal. Top jockey booked and looks sure to go well returned to the all-weather.

Tiernan¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: I Jardine| OR: 85| BF

7/1

Looked promising when winning a novice at Hamilton 35 days ago but found the step up in grade a little beyond him when fifth of 13 in a handicap there 15 days ago. Lightly raced and now tries all-weather for the first time so isn't one to write off.

Form: 0-60215

Elsass¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: C Johnston| OR: 85

11/2

Won at Hamilton in May but hasn't kicked on since. Twice a winner on all-weather so return to this surface and ease in grade may help.

Sudu²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Rowan Scott| T: R Varian| OR: 83| BF| D

14/1

Won a handicap at Epsom last July but off for a year prior to last of 6 at Thirsk 29 days ago in a first-time hood, carrying his head awkwardly and folding. Hood removed but big questions to answer now.

Forecasts

Primo Lara (5/2), Topteam (4/1), Elsass (11/2), Incensed (13/2), Tiernan (7/1), Whitcombe Rockstar (15/2), Sudu (14/1), Haku (25/1), Astro King (28/1), King's Code (33/1), Majestic (33/1)

PRIMO LARA has made a good start since returning to this yard and shaped as if better than the result when fourth at York last time. He still looks well treated returned to the all-weather and could prove too good for course specialist Whitcombe Rockstar. Topteam is one that needs considering on return from 3 months off given he's already scored when fresh at this venue this year.
