11/4

Bagged third win from 7 starts when taking 10-runner handicap at Southwell (1½m) 14 days ago. Just 3 lb higher on turf debut and holds strong claims.

Form: 3115-21

Parlando^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Ian Williams| OR: 86| C

3/1

Returned to winning form with success in 1¼m handicap at Chester in July and back on track when good third of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Newbury (1¼m, good to firm) 18 days ago, faring best of those held up. Respected.

Ruby Wedding²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Alfie Redman⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 86| D

9/4

Off the mark at Hamilton earlier this summer and added to that victory at Salisbury (1½m) in August. Latest run can be excused (too keen) and can't be ruled out here.

Form: 461210

11/2

Successful twice this season, including when making all at Beverley in June. Returned to form more recently, latest when creditable third of 12 in handicap at Redcar (1¼m, good to soft) 13 days ago. Likely player.

Forecasts

Ruby Wedding (9/4), Solarize (11/4), Parlando (3/1), Be The Standard (9/2), Percy's Daydream (11/2), King's Code (8/1)

SOLARIZE is lightly raced for his age and added another victory to his tally at Southwell a fortnight ago. Still fairly treated, he is taken to score again. Percy's Daydream and Ruby Wedding rate the principal dangers.
