Thinthread^p²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: J Mitchell| T: George Baker| OR: 82

10/1

Dual winner around 9f in France for Andre Fabre. Showed some promise on first 2 runs for new yard in handicaps here and at Goodwood but only seventh of 10 in similar event back at Goodwood (1¼m, good to soft) last time. Could still do better.

Form: 313-507

Classical Allusion²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding| OR: 79

3/1

Scored on his debut at Southwell and back to that sort of form when sixth in handicap here (1½m) in August. A below-par sixth on turf at Goodwood (1½m, soft) last time but not dismissed back at this venue.

Form: 1-25066

Aphrodite Spirit²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Joe Leavy| T: R A Teal| OR: 77

5/1

Got off the mark in 1¼m novice at Lingfield 12 months ago. Solid placed efforts in 3 handicap this summer, latest when short-head second of 8 over 1½m here last time. Can go well again nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 321-332

Qitaal^v¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Johnston| OR: 76

14/1

Ended a lengthy losing run (in refitted visor) in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) earlier this month but not so good in same headgear when seventh of 10 at Chester (1¼m, good to soft) 11 days ago. Bounce back is needed.

Joseph^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Billy Loughnane| T: J Butler| OR: 76| CD

10/3

Gained a third all-weather win of 2026 (first 2 at Lingfield) when scoring emphatically in 5-runner handicap over C&D 3 weeks ago. Hiked up 8 lb but expected to be bang there again with Billy Loughnane back up.

Form: 104431

Narragansett^h³⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Taylor Fisher| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 71

80/1

Fair ex-Irish winner in 2024. Won twice over hurdles for current yard in early-2025 but returns from 11 months off for his polytrack debut and the market can prove an accurate guide.

Form: 75817/0-

Wardlaw^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 76| BF

15/8

Quirky sort who still looked a work in progress when gaining a first win at Beverley (1½m) in August. Backed it up with a good second of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (1½m, good to soft) 18 days ago, despite taken very wide in back straight. Likely capable of better still.

Form: 522312

Golden Circet¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Finley Marsh| T: J & S Best| OR: 67

25/1

On a losing run and only eighth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago. Others preferred.

What's The Plan¹⁸

Weight: 9-7| Age: 3

T: J R Fanshawe J: Ashley Lewis

Forecasts

Wardlaw (15/8), Classical Allusion (3/1), Joseph (10/3), Aphrodite Spirit (5/1), What's The Plan (13/2), Thinthread (10/1), Qitaal (14/1), Golden Circet (25/1), Narragansett (80/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but it's very hard to side against JOSEPH, who scored in excellent style over C&D last time and still looks ahead of his mark despite an 8 lb hike in the weights. What's The Plan should prove suited by dropping in trip here and appeals as the one to chase him home, although Aphrodite Spirit and Wardlaw can also go well.
