2/1

Back in fine form this year and emphatically landed a gamble in 9-runner handicap at Goodwood (1¾m, heavy) 3 weeks ago. Hiked up 11 lb here but still respected over this longer trip.

Form: 3-14631

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: H Crouch| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 89

14/1

Failed to go on over hurdles for Ben Pauling last year but resumed winning ways for new yard back in this sphere at Sandown (1¾m, good) in June. Came in last of 9 at Goodwood (2m, good to soft) since, though, so has a bit to prove in refitted cheekpieces.

Form: 5711/19

Percy Shelley¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: James Owen| OR: 84

5/2

Scored over hurdles for this yard last autumn but his only wins on the Flat came in France in 2022. Posted creditable efforts when in the frame over 2m here and York last 2 runs but suspicion is he may find the odd one too strong again.

Form: 22-4624

Appier^h²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 78

14/1

Made a winning start for Tony Carroll at Goodwood (1¾m, heavy) in June and not disgraced when in the frame over the same trip at Sandown and back at Goodwood since. Should give another good account back up in distance in a refitted hood.

Form: 306134

Premiere Ligne^p,t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Harry Davies| T: H Morrison| OR: 75

4/1

A fairly useful winner in 2024. Off 20 months and yet to match that form this season, again not seeing his race out when fifth of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (2m, good to soft) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces are retried now.

Form: 0/96765

Rogue Empire¹⁵

5/1

Completed a hat-trick at Lingfield (2m) in early summer and posted another solid effort when third of 8 in handicap at Kempton (2m) 15 days ago. Not out of things.

Forecasts

Gooloogong (2/1), Percy Shelley (5/2), In The Breeze (3/1), Premiere Ligne (4/1), Rogue Empire (5/1), Squire Danagher (14/1), Appier (14/1)

IN THE BREEZE pulled clear of the rest when runner-up at Haydock last time and, off just a 1 lb higher mark, is fancied to bag a third victory of the season with this longer trip also a likely positive. Gooloogong has been hit hard by the official assessor for his wide-margin Goodwood success but could still emerge as the chief threat ahead of Appier and Percy Shelley.
