Majestic Dane²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: J Mitchell| T: K R Burke| OR: 85| D

28/1

Looked useful over 7f at Newcastle in the winter, winning on debut before finishing second under a penalty. Off 6 months (gelded) before coming in last of 9 on his handicap debut at Ripon (1m, soft) 23 days ago, however.

Form: 129

Starfinch³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: George Wood| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 85

25/1

Made a winning start for new connections in 6f novice at Southwell in January. Advanced her form on handicap debut when third of 4 at Yarmouth (7f) in July but well held in similar event at York (7f, soft) last time.

Rogue Messiah⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: L Morris| T: James Owen| OR: 85

10/1

Doubled his tally when landing 6f handicap at Lingfield in April for Jack Jones but has made very little impact in a pair of 7f handicaps for new yard at Doncaster and Newmarket since.

Form: 18-2198

Prosperitas^p¹⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: T Kent| OR: 81| D

20/1

Improved in first-time cheekpieces when bagging 7f Doncaster handicap last October. Only twice-raced since but not disgraced with fourth of 14 in handicap over C&D in May. Needs to hit the ground running following an absence.

Form: 5001-04

Shaman Champion²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Joe Leavy| T: C G Cox| OR: 83

12/1

Without a win since debut when trained by Richard Hughes. Best effort for current yard this season when third in 7f handicap at Southwell in July. Gelded before not ideally placed when a close C&D fifth 17 days ago so not out of things.

Form: 2-70035

Chalk Mountain^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Zoe Hawkins| OR: 80| CD

9/2

A 3-time C&D winner, including in this event 12 months ago. In better form than recent form figures suggests, seeming stretched by longer trip when a fading sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.5f) 16 days ago. Interesting now back at optimum distance.

Rock Iguana³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Finley Marsh| T: J & S Best| OR: 80

80/1

Fair 6f scorer for Kevin Philippart De Foy last August. Below form in a pair of runs at Gowran (7f) and the Curragh (6f) for Denis Hogan last month. Has it to prove for another new yard.

Form: 06-2668

Metal Merchant¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: J Butler| OR: 80| D

22/1

Stopped the slide when fourth of 12 at Newcastle (1m) in July for his new yard but has twice failed to build on it over C&D and at Haydock. Handily weighted if back on his A-game though and worth a market check for shrewd yard.

Form: 000499

Luansobe¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Davies| T: C Fellowes| OR: 81| BF| D

4/1

Sprung a 40/1 surprise in 7f Wolverhampton novice in April. Gelded and back in good form of late, aggressively ridden when fifth of 8 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good) 19 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 20-1035

Crossbar¹⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Egan| T: C G Cox| OR: 81| CD

4/1

Created a good impression when making a winning debut in 7f novice at Kempton in May. Clear of the rest when third in 7f Wetherby novice following month. Remains with potential now going handicapping after a break.

Form: 13

Manly Fireball^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: R Hughes| OR: 80

13/2

Gained a first win in 6f novice at Wolverhampton in June. Has continued in good form, cheekpieces on for first time when second of 7 in handicap over C&D 3 weeks ago. Must enter calculations nudged up 1 lb with Billy Loughnane again on board.

Form: 721522

Suggy¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: C Hills| OR: 79| C

15/2

A 3-time all-weather winner (including here) in early summer. Posted another good effort with fourth of 7 in 1m handicap back here last time, conceding first run. Very much one to consider.

Forecasts

Luansobe (4/1), Crossbar (4/1), Chalk Mountain (9/2), Manly Fireball (13/2), Suggy (15/2), Rogue Messiah (10/1), Physique (10/1), Shaman Champion (12/1), Prosperitas (20/1), Wild Nature (20/1), Metal Merchant (22/1), Starfinch (25/1), Majestic Dane (28/1), Rock Iguana (80/1)

This looks wide open so at the likely odds it is worth siding with CHALK MOUNTAIN, who arrives in better heart than his recent form figures suggests and can follow up his success in this event 12 months ago. In-form duo Manly Fireball and Suggy both seem sure to be on the premises, while the handily-weighted Metal Merchant and unexposed Crossbar also need factoring into this competitive handicap.
