Percy Jones¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Taylor Fisher| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 70

9/1

All 4 career victories at Wolverhampton, the latest over 1½m last summer. Largely creditable efforts in defeat this year, including when third here (1¾m, good to soft) 16 days ago. Likely to be on the premises again.

Belle Of Kt¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 68| C| D

9/1

Had an excellent summer, completing a 4-timer last month. Probably wants the rain to stay away judged on her latest run here 16 days ago.

Form: 111130

Hebridean Nomad¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Charlie Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 67

6/1

Finally opened his account in handicaps at Lingfield in January off a career-low mark. Not far off his very best when a close fourth there under this rider 17 days ago and can make presence felt again off the same mark in this lesser contest back on turf.

Form: 6-31224

Yokkell¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 63| C

16/1

Well backed and gained a first win for current yard here (11.6f) in July. However, well held next 2 starts (in refitted cheekpieces).

Society Girl⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 70

13/2

Has benefited from the switch to front running of late, making all in 4-runner event on the July Course. Similar form but only third of 5 back there since.

Form: 7-80313

Cosmo Brown³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 69

9/2

Best effort yet when second at Kempton on all-weather debut 5 weeks ago, shaping as if this step up in trip will suit. Player back in open company.

One Cool Dreamer^p³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carson| T: R Stephens| OR: 62

50/1

Went on a losing run for Alan King and is yet to fire for current yard.

Moab²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 62

6/1

Took advantage of career-low mark when opening account at Southwell a year ago. Returned with a decent third at Salisbury before winning a maiden over hurdles earlier this month.

Form: 3416-33

Zarco¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Cosgrave| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 67

11/2

All the better for return/handicap debut when close second at Lingfield 17 days ago, shaping as if this extra 1f will be within reach. Needs considering as an unexposed 3-y-o.

Form: 546-42

Calshot Spit¹⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Miss S West| OR: 60| BF| C| D

14/1

Scored twice on the level in 2024, including over 2m 1f here. Raced only once on the Flat thereafter but scored over hurdles at Fontwell in December. Arrives here after 2 respectable efforts in that sphere but that was in the spring.

Two Plus Two¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E De Giles| OR: 59| C

15/2

Stepped forward from this season's return when scoring here (1¾m) in May and has gone close twice since, headed only in the dying strides at Epsom in July. Adopted different tactics to usual when down the field here next time.

Beggarman⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: H Morrison| OR: 58| D

18/1

Two wins at Ffos Las last summer. Best effort this year when close second of 4 at Nottingham in July but not in same form at Lingfield following month.

Form: 40-4524

Virtue Diligence^p³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 65

40/1

Standout effort when fourth on handicap debut at Salisbury in July. Down the field on both subsequent starts (in first-time headgear last time).

Forecasts

Zarco (4/1), Hebridean Nomad (6/1), Percy Jones (7/1), Society Girl (8/1), Cosmo Brown (8/1), Belle Of Kt (10/1), Moab (10/1), Chambers (10/1), Beggarman (12/1), Virtue Diligence (14/1), Two Plus Two (16/1), Calshot Spit (16/1), Yokkell (25/1), One Cool Dreamer (33/1)

HEBRIDEAN NOMAD wasn't beaten far despite setting a strong pace at Lingfield last time so gets the vote in what looks a lesser race. Unexposed 3-y-os Zarco and Cosmo Brown are feared most.
