7/1

Deservedly got off the mark for the year at Sandown (1m) in July. Two more respectable efforts since, although he did display a high head carriage when fourth back at Sandown last time.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: A Mullen| T: M Appleby| OR: 80| BF| D

3/1

Smart earlier in his career but struggled for David O'Meara in 2025. More encouraging signs for current yard but beaten in a seller last time and may find this too competitive for his liking.

Vincent Rocks¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 79| CD

25/1

Posted good second at Kempton on final outing for Hugo Palmer in July and backed that up with creditable fifth at Newcastle (1m) on first run for new yard 3 weeks later. Not in same form back at Kempton and over this C&D since, though. Has something to prove for now.

Kalamunda^p³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: J Parr| OR: 78| CD

50/1

Dual C&D winner but 13 runs last win in 2024 and only seventh of 9 back here last time.

Form: 446-257

Wid⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: R M Beckett| OR: 80| D

7/2

Settled better than previously when opening her account in 6-runner novice at Carlisle (1m, firm) in July and backed it up with a promising fourth of 14 in 1m Glorious Goodwood handicap 19 days later, caught further back than ideal. One to keep on side.

Form: 7-214

Nakaaha^h³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ashley Lewis⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 77| D

33/1

Proved better than ever when smooth-travelling winner at Bath in July. Confirmed that form at the second at Chepstow (1m) in August but well held on soft ground back there since.

Franschhoek³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonny Peate| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 78| BF

14/1

Built on debut promise in March when improving to get off the mark at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 5 months later. Disappointing when 7/4 for C&D handicap debut since but it remains very early days.

Form: 316

Magic Trip³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 78| D

9/2

Fairly useful gelding. Found it tough in his first 3 handicaps but more encouraging signs after a break when 5 lengths second of 6 at Sandown (1m, good to soft) 5 weeks ago.

Form: 8-35052

Siwa Oasis⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: C Hills| OR: 77

7/2

Boasts some strong form and got off the mark with a defeat of Yordan (won both starts since) in novice at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in July. Should be up to making his presence felt from this opening mark.

Form: 2-7541

Golden Pharaoh^p²⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 73

50/1

Sole win from 23 runs came at Ffos Las last autumn. Creditable third of 9 in 7f handicap here when last seen in March. Peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 6 months off.

Form: 2-28083

Dovey Moon¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: P D Evans| OR: 72| D

25/1

Got off the mark for the season in 1m Salisbury handicap in May. Hasn't proved easy to catch right since but latest Leicester third respectable.

Form: 103563

Camino Del Ray^p⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 72| CD

28/1

Fitted with first-time cheekpieces and showed improved form to resume winning ways in 12-runner C&D handicap in March but has failed to reproduce that in 2 subsequent outings 4 months apart. A return to Southwell needs to spark a revival.

Form: 65-6148

Wield^t²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S D Bowen| T: J Parr| OR: 71

66/1

Fair maiden who ran his best race when second in a C&D handicap at the end of August. Not in the same form on turf at Doncaster since but could bounce back returned to all-weather.

Form: 250729

Forecasts

Nostrum (3/1), Wid (7/2), Siwa Oasis (7/2), Magic Trip (9/2), Cristo (7/1), Franschhoek (14/1), Dovey Moon (25/1), Vincent Rocks (25/1), Camino Del Ray (28/1), Nakaaha (33/1), Kalamunda (50/1), Golden Pharaoh (50/1), Wield (66/1)

Perhaps best to focus on the 3-y-os, with WID taken to build on her encouraging handicap debut in a big field at Glorious Goodwood. Siwa Oasis has had the form of his Leicester novice success boosted and is next on the list ahead of Andrew Balding's Magic Trip.
