Scored at Redcar in June and in good nick since, making effort earlier than ideal when fifth of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (1¾m, good to firm) in August. Well in the mix eased 1 lb with Simon Walker in the saddle.

Beaune^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Jessica Llewellyn⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 54

7/2

A 3-time all-weather winner early in 2026. Largely running well of late until tenth of 12 in handicap at Chester (2m, soft) last time. Could bounce back off a handy-looking mark.

Form: 743430

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr Henry Callan| T: Charlie Clover| OR: 49| D

In fine form of late, following up hurdles win at Worcester with very easy success in 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (1¾m) 8 days ago. Big shout under a penalty with Henry Callan up.

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Ms S Brotherton| T: L Allan| OR: 52

Artavian^b,t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr Frederick Tett| T: P R Chamings| OR: 52

12/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Blinkered for first time (usually visored) when a respectable third of 11 in handicap at Windsor (11.5f, good) 22 days ago. Back up in trip and not ruled out.

Form: 2-73673

The Pug^v¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Jemima Stewart⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 47| C

8/1

Not the most reliable but in a good vein of form at present, second of 9 in 11f handicap here 19 days ago. Possibilities.

Crazy Plan²²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr S Burton⁽⁵⁾| T: Dan Horsford| OR: 52| BF

9/1

Twice runner-up in all-weather handicaps this summer but she failed to beat a rival in handicap at Windsor (11.5f, good) 22 days ago. Has a bit to prove now.

Form: 0-02420

West Sleekburn Lad¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-6| J: Mr Eireann Cagney| T: P D Niven| OR: 51

11/2

Lightly-raced son of Golden Horn who took a big step forward on his handicap bow when winning 11-runner event at Newcastle (1½m) 17 days ago. Up 5 lb but he's a player with this longer trip a likely plus and Eireann Cagney up.

Form: 0-831

Make It Up²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr James Hills⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Knight| OR: 50| BF

14/1

Best effort when second in Lingfield classified event (1½m, all-weather) in July but a well-held seventh of 9 back there 26 days ago. Bounce back needed.

Form: 0-33527

Go Teejay¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Grace Bell⁽⁷⁾| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 45

66/1

Limited maiden. Not discredited when sixth of 11 to West Sleekburn Lad in handicap at Newcastle (1½m) last time. Others appeal more.

Forecasts

Zafaan (6/4), Beaune (7/2), West Sleekburn Lad (11/2), The Pug (8/1), Crazy Plan (9/1), Artavian (12/1), Make It Up (14/1), Shahbaz (14/1), Different Drum (25/1), Stitching Wheel (28/1), Go Teejay (66/1), Cougar (150/1)

ZAFAAN had plenty in the tank when going in at Wolverhampton last week and is hard to side against turned out under a penalty with Henry Callan now in the saddle. Recent Newcastle scorer West Sleekburn Lad could emerge as the main danger with this step up in trip a likely positive, although both Beaune and Stitching Wheel can also play a prominent role in this competitive amateur riders handicap.
