5/1

Won twice on all-weather in April and then returned from 5 months off with an excellent second of 12 at Southwell 16 days ago. Clearly at the top of his game and could go very well if transferring his progress back to turf (won on soft going as a 2-y-o).

Form: 24-4112

Supreme King⁸

12/1

Won at Salisbury in August and ran well returned to that track when third 8 days ago. Went close here earlier in the year and could take a hand.

Top Juggler¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 79| CD

10/1

Won over 5.5f here in July but often races freely and produced just a respectable third of 10 at Ripon on latest start. Capable if settling better but stall 10 unlikely to help.

Form: 5-32173

Golden Brown¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ashley Lewis⁽³⁾| T: E Walker| OR: 80| D

12/1

Off the mark in a Salisbury maiden in May and ran well upped to 7f when third of 8 at Ascot 15 days ago. Good-value rider's claim could help him figure in the finish if able to cope with a high draw.

Proof^t¹⁹

25/1

Better than ever having been gelded before winning a 7-runner handicap at Epsom over this trip 19 days ago, beating a subsequent winner. 4 lb rise for that means he's still of plenty of interest for in-form yard but stall 14 may scupper his chance.

11/4

C&D winner who also capitalised on falling mark at Southwell in August. Backed that up when runner-up next time out but his effort at Doncaster 6 days ago wasn't encouraging.

Havana Rum¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: O McSweeney| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74| BF| D

10/3

Looked well treated when second at Pontefract (6f) in August and was by no means disgraced when 8th of 21 over 5.5f at York 13 days ago, finding the sharper test beyond him. Well drawn if able to start a bit sharper than can sometimes be the case and the return to a full 6f can see him go well.

9/1

Returned to winning ways in a claimer at Wolverhampton over this trip in July, making all and travelling fluently, but bombed out back in handicap company earlier this month and now switches visor for blinkers. Well drawn to attack if headgear works.

Moonstone Boy^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: William Pyle| T: J Candlish| OR: 71

10/1

Still finding feet for this yard and not seen to best effect when fourth of 11 at Haydock returning from 5 months off over 5f 15 days ago. Goes well on soft going and could come on for that outing but needs to prove himself up to 6f.

Form: 0-47784

Paws For Thought^t1⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Mason Paetel⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 67| CD

11/1

Multiple course winner but hasn't won in a year and recent efforts haven't been inspiring. Headgear discarded and now replaced by first-time tongue strap.

KIRKDALE carried on where he'd left off earlier in the year when returning from 5 months off with an excellent second, and if he can transfer that progress back to turf then he could resume winning ways at the expense of Havana Rum, who is well treated now and will appreciate the return to 6f, while Supreme King could take a hand.
