20/1

Very useful handicapper who has made the frame 4 times this year but needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Kempton 18 days ago.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 96| D

40/1

Won a maiden at Killarney for Aidan O'Brien last spring and having been gelded, showed useful form for current yard in the UAE over the winter. Off 6 months ahead of this first start in Britain.

Tribal Chief^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: D Menuisier| OR: 92| CD

11/4

Shaped well when third in Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good) and Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, good to firm) this spring but has ruined his chance with slow starts since. More than capable off this mark if breaking on terms but comes with obvious risks.

Form: 7-33606

Oliver Show^t,v¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Jack Callan| T: G Boughey| OR: 91| D

8/1

Losing run is mounting up but made the frame 3 times here this summer, including the Glorious meeting. Found his run of good form coming to a halt at Doncaster recently but his record here affords him respect.

Storm Star¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 91| D

7/4

Has recorded all 4 wins on all-weather at Newcastle but was a good second on turf at Ascot (1m, good to firm) in May. Creditable fifth of 17 in handicap at Doncaster (1m, good) 11 days ago. Eased another 2 lb and capable of a bold bid under Oisin Murphy.

9/1

Won 7f course handicap last summer. Ran well off a slipping mark when sixth of 18 in the Golden Mile at the Glorious meeting and enough in latest Haydock third to think he's still in form. Considered under Saffie Osborne.

10/3

Kickstarted 2026 with 7f wins at Doncaster and Southwell. Form levelled off over the summer but he was back on the up with a close second of 11 over 9f at Yarmouth (good) last month. Same mark today.

Forecasts

Storm Star (7/4), Tribal Chief (11/4), Jimmy Speaking (10/3), Oliver Show (8/1), Darkness (9/1), Racingbreaks Ryder (10/1), Two Tempting (20/1), Gun Carriage (40/1)

A further 2 lb ease in his mark might be enough to see STORM STAR land a first success on turf. Jimmy Speaking goes off the same mark as when narrowly denied at Yarmouth last week and is second choice ahead of Darkness, who has posted plenty of fine efforts at Goodwood.
