Mighty Magnus⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 82| D

11/1

Doubled his tally at Musselburgh (5f) in June and bounced back to form having returned to same mark when 1¼-length second of 11 to Boston Dan at Haydock (5f, heavy) last week. Can go well again having been raised just 1 lb.

Form: 153502

Rock Of England¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: P T Midgley| OR: 80| D

9/2

Has had a productive season with 4 wins from 9 runs, the latest coming in 9-runner handicap at Ripon (5f, good to soft, 11/4) 13 days ago. Up 5 lb for that success, though has won off higher before, and Murphy retains the ride.

Form: 121441

Angel Numbers¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 80| D

40/1

Much improved when winning her first 2 starts for this yard (at Thirsk and Ripon) but ran poorly both outings since. Has a bit to find at present.

Form: 741107

Grandlad^p1,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: James Horton| OR: 77| CD

25/1

C&D winner who made all at Nottingham in April on return. In first-time blinkers, got upset in stalls when last of 9 at Goodwood 16 days ago. Cheekpieces now go on and he's been given a chance by the assessor.

Form: 4-16769

Emerald Harmony³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 77| D

10/1

Had run some good races in defeat after getting off the mark for current yard at Thirsk (5f) in June but produced a below-par effort over that C&D last time. Ran well on previous visit here and can bounce back.

U S S Charleston⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: Lemos Souza| OR: 77| BF| D

9/1

Opened turf account at Yarmouth (5f) in May. Found run of good form coming to a halt when beating a sole rival home in 6-runner handicap at Goodwood just 5 days ago. The market has spoken in his favour of late, so may be one to monitor in the betting.

Smart Vision^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 75| CD

6/1

C&D winner in the mud last autumn from a 12 lb higher mark. Has failed to make much impact this season, with his mark sliding as a result, but recent performances suggest he may be building up to something.

Duran^v⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 75| D

4/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2025. Shaped as if back in form fitted with a first-time visor at York last weekend. Chance on old form if the headgear works again.

Form: 0-50007

(8)

Maharajas Express⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: Ian Williams| OR: 68| D

7/2

Found the gaps coming just in time when scoring with a bit up his sleeve at Chester in late-July. Quickly back on track on last 2 starts, finding only one too good at Sandown and York. Looks sure to go well again.

Form: 961822

(6)

Tanjen⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jake Dickson⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66| D

10/1

After a low-key start to this season, proved as good as ever when capitalising on a lower turf mark in a 7-runner handicap at Hamilton in August. Made the frame at York last week against a couple that reappear here. Each-way claims.

Form: 775134

Forecasts

Maharajas Express (7/2), Duran (4/1), Rock Of England (9/2), Smart Vision (6/1), U S S Charleston (9/1), Tanjen (10/1), Emerald Harmony (10/1), Mighty Magnus (11/1), Grandlad (25/1), Angel Numbers (40/1)

MAHARAJAS EXPRESS has done nothing wrong in defeat on his last 2 outings and can gain reward with a second success of the season. The consistent Rock of England should be on the premises once more, with Smart Vision and Mighty Magnus also worth considering.
