Invincible Crown⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 54| CD

4/5

Hold-up performer who exploited a career-low mark over C&D last Saturday. Shouldered with a 5 lb penalty but he won off 1 lb higher last October. Leading claims.

Khabib^p⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Craggs| OR: 54| CD

4/1

On a long losing run but has come down in the handicap as a result and ran his most encouraging race of the year when 2¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Invincible Crown in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 6 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 0/98974

Doralee¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: T D Barron| OR: 51| D

14/1

Latest win at Redcar in August. Fair fourth at Wolverhampton next time but well beaten at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) since.

Form: 423148

Phoenix Beach^p⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: S Dixon| OR: 51| C| D

9/1

It's now 19 runs since last win in 2025 and he's rarely threatened this year. Possible a recent Southwell outing was needed after 3 months off but still hard to be confident about.

Sixcor^p¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 50| D

12/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in August. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm, 11/1) 13 days ago.

Form: 146616

Havin A Flyer^p,t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 51| D

12/1

Finally took advantage of a much-reduced mark at Southwell (5f) in July. Respectable efforts on next 2 outings but faded into sixth back at Southwell last time.

Shatin Venture²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Callan| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 45| CD

25/1

Sole win came over C&D in March 2025. Rather in-and-out on the all-weather earlier in the year and last of 9 back from a break here 23 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot.

Form: 042599

(5)

Moretons¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: S Waugh| OR: 46

40/1

Remains a maiden after 16 starts and has been well below par in recent turf outings. It remains to be seen whether a return to all-weather sparks him back to life.

Forecasts

Invincible Crown (4/5), Khabib (4/1), Phoenix Beach (9/1), Sixcor (12/1), Havin A Flyer (12/1), Doralee (14/1), Shatin Venture (25/1), Moretons (40/1)

This could be a good chance for INVINCIBLE CROWN to land a second C&D success inside a week. Khabib was a respectable fourth to the selection here last Saturday and can get a bit closer on the revised terms. Sixcor is next on the list.
