Havana Pusey¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Gallagher| OR: 92| D

14/1

Returned to near her best when winning at Yarmouth in April and similar form when runner-up at Newbury in August. Has had possible excuses the last twice, racing on the unfavoured near side at Newbury 2 weeks ago. Is back down to her last winning mark.

Tryst^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Jack Callan| T: G Boughey| OR: 92| D

6/1

Showed improved form dropped to 7f and fitted with cheekpieces, recording back-to-back wins at Yarmouth and the July Course. Is probably best not judged on her last 2 efforts, not ideally placed when mid-field at Ascot (1m), so she could fare better back down in trip.

Stimulative Trip³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Menuisier| OR: 87| D

16/1

Debut winner at Newbury last year who ran well when third in listed race at Carlisle in June. Down the field last 2 starts, dropped back to 6f on handicap debut at Salisbury a month ago, but there have been better signs from her yard recently.

Form: 1-96388

Starlight Lass⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Colin Keane| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 87| BF

7/2

Landed the odds in novice on the July Course (1m) making her second start, before following up in good style in another 3-runner contest at Yarmouth. Seemed unsuited by soft ground when well held on handicap debut at York's Ebor meeting (7f), so she's worth another chance.

Form: 2110

Harlequin Angel⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 86| D

9/1

After 7 months off, got back on the up when making all at Yarmouth in April. Hasn't managed to kick on in 2 subsequent outings, though, unable to lead in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot before seventh of 11 on the July Course when last seen.

Form: 310-107

Starfinch¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Lee| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 83

33/1

Made a winning start for new connections in 6f novice at Southwell in January. Advanced her form on handicap debut when close third of 4 at Yarmouth (7f) in July and left behind a lesser effort when sixth of 13 at Kempton 10 days ago. Task is now to build on latest run.

Form: 169306

Woohoo⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Marco Ghiani| T: J S Goldie| OR: 78

5/2

Scored at Musselburgh (5f) in April and racked up a sequence of 6 runner-up finishes in July/August, including over 7f at York's Ebor meeting. Good third at this course (6f) 9 days ago and she can be thereabouts once more back down in grade.

Form: 222263

Enchant¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jack Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 79

12/1

Winner of 3-runner novice at Pontefract (6f) only start last year. Couldn't manage to improve making a quick switch to handicaps when fourth of 8 at Thirsk (7f) in August (form boosted since), before racing too freely upped to 1m at Sandown last time. Has something to find.

Form: 1-647

(3)

Polka Blue⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: C Hills| OR: 77| D

12/1

Off the mark at Leicester (6f) in May and scored again at Lingfield (7f, all-weather) the following month. Has shaped as if still in good heart since, very slowly away in 20-runner contest at Glorious Goodwood (6f) but making up ground to finish mid-field.

Form: 311330

(5)

Velvet Rhythm⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rowan Scott| T: C Johnston| OR: 75| CD

15/2

Successful over C&D on return in May and has won 3 times at Catterick since, the latest in July. Has shaped well the last twice, forcing a strong pace when fifth of 10 at Epsom 6 days ago, and she could be ready to resume winning ways.

Form: 303735

Forecasts

Woohoo (5/2), Starlight Lass (7/2), Tryst (6/1), Velvet Rhythm (15/2), Harlequin Angel (9/1), Enchant (12/1), Polka Blue (12/1), Havana Pusey (14/1), Stimulative Trip (16/1), Starfinch (33/1)

A 4-time winner this season, VELVET RHYTHM has looked back at the top of her game on her last 2 starts and she can build on those efforts to add to her tally. The main danger could be Starlight Lass, who had excuses in her hat-trick bid last time, with Woohoo also in the mix.
