28/1

Off the mark in a maiden hurdle at Fakenham in May having been second on her previous 3 starts, though regularly races freely. Back from a break and will need to settle to last out upped to 2m on just her second outing on the Flat for current yard.

15/2

Made all when scoring by 7 lengths at Catterick 38 days ago when dropped in grade but wasn't in quite the same form under penalty at Newmarket next time. Now 3 lb higher in the weights so needs to find more progress from somewhere.

Queen Roslyn^t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall| T: B Ellison| OR: 63| D

7/2

Career best when second of 13 at York over this trip in July with a first-time tongue strap but disappointed when last of 5 at Newmarket over 1¾m 27 days ago, reverting to front-running tactics. Could bounce back returned to this trip and ridden with more restraint.

Cascade Hall^h⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Lauren Young⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 62| D

2/1

Consistent through the summer with placed efforts at Ayr and Musselburgh prior to very good second of 8 to subsequent winner at Haydock on heavy going over 1¾m 7 days ago. Turned out quickly and leading claims back up to 2m.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Donagh Murphy⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 60

22/1

Not won for over a year and struggled this season, continuing to fall in the weights without looking like taking advantage. Back up in trip and hard to fancy on recent evidence.

Spooky Wooky^t,v³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: William Pyle| T: S G West| OR: 59

10/1

In frame 3 of 5 starts since sent handicapping, stepping up on reappearance run when finishing fourth of 9 over 1¾m at Redcar in first-time visor and tongue strap last month, keeping on. Should prove suited by this return to 2m and can be a threat if stall 12 doesn't inconvenience.

Form: 7236-74

Bollin Neil^p,t¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: Jake Dickson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59| D

20/1

Prolific Catterick winner who returned from 7 months off with good second of 6 at Ripon over this trip 10 days ago, though was flattered by proximity to the eased-down winner (already won twice since). At the veteran stage now but entitled to come on for that run and stays this trip well.

Havachoc^p,t1³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jack Nicholls| T: P Morris| OR: 56

66/1

Yet to win on turf but placed a couple of times this year. Last of 7 in a handicap over 1¾m at Haydock in August wasn't encouraging, though, not settling in front and wandering as he weakened. First-time tongue strap now applied.

Beaune^p²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Vigors⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 55

14/1

One of his better races when third of 7 at Lingfield over 2m on all-weather 24 days ago but didn't seem to fully see out the trip that day so may prove vulnerable late on.

Razzo Italiano^p,t⁴⁷⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 8-11| J: Shay Farmer⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 48| D

100/1

Three-time hurdle winner but modest at best on the Flat and third of 7 in a weak handicap at Haydock over 2m when last seen 477 days ago needs plenty of improving on.

Corsican Caper⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Olivia Haines⁽⁵⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 47| BF| CD

5/1

Won over hurdles at Uttoxeter in May before third of 8 in a handicap at Bath in June over 17f back on the Flat. Returns to Chester after 90 days off in a race he won in 2024 but looks up against it.

Form: 4669-43

Sir Griflet^p,t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Warren Fentiman| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 55

10/1

Has returned to form in his last 2 starts over 2m at Lingfield on all-weather, including when fourth behind 2 next-time-out winners in August. Returns to turf now and is well worth considering as the sole 3-y-o in the field.

Forecasts

Cascade Hall (2/1), Queen Roslyn (7/2), Corsican Caper (5/1), Free World (15/2), Sir Griflet (10/1), Spooky Wooky (10/1), Beaune (14/1), Bollin Neil (20/1), Imperial Trooper (20/1), Bulldog Spirit (22/1), Alibey (28/1), Havachoc (66/1), Razzo Italiano (100/1)

CASCADE HALL ran really well up against a thriving rival just last week and looks well in racing from effectively a 1 lb lower mark so he's taken to resume winning ways back up to a trip that suits. The 3-y-o Sir Griflet could prove best of the rest up against much more exposed rivals, while the veteran Bollin Neil returned in good heart recently and should continue in form.
