Silver Trumpet^b¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Oliver Carmichael⁽³⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 75| CD

9/2

Last 2 wins gained on firm ground at Epsom a year apart, latterly in 6-runner contests in July from 2 lb lower. Runner-up twice since at that venue and very dangerous at this level if breaking anywhere near on terms.

Arantes Nascimento⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: James Glennon⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 74| CD

17/2

Versatile sort who is holding his form really well this year. Runner-up 5 times either side of his C&D success in April. Hampered at the start at Lingfield in August so that run probably best overlooked.

Receipt¹²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Alfie Redman⁽³⁾| T: T Ellis| OR: 73| D

20/1

Lightly-raced sort who posted a career best when getting off the mark in 7-runner handicap at Southwell (7f) in April. Too free under a penalty here a week later and given a break after a heavy defeat on turf in June.

Cuban Lady²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Isobelle Chalmers⁽⁵⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 73

16/1

Turned in her best effort of the season on debut for new yard when second of 7 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) in August. Held back by a sluggish start at Epsom 4 weeks ago and now returns to all-weather.

Form: 6-84326

Lady Manzor^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Charlie Tucker⁽³⁾| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 71| CD

9/1

All 3 wins on all-weather early last year. Arrives in reasonable heart this season, making the frame for the fifth consecutive start when third of 6 at Lingfield before shaping as though still in form back here (1m) 4 weeks ago. Cheekpieces back on dropped in distance.

Caragio^e/s1¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Taryn Langley| T: Adam Kirby| OR: 69| BF| CD

6/5

Confirmed stable debut promise when winning 6-runner handicap at Yarmouth (6f) in April. Below that level in 2 outings at the start of the summer but right back on his game the last twice, third of 12 returned to 7f at Southwell 11 days ago. Enters calculations with eyeshields fitted.

Strike²³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Olivia Tubb| T: J G Portman| OR: 69

22/1

Capitalised on reduced mark when gaining a first success in nearly 2 years at Newbury in July. Met trouble at Newmarket before a respectable effort at Windsor 3 weeks ago. Placed from 2 lb higher last all-weather start over C&D a year ago.

Form: 324164

Timely Affair^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Toby Moore⁽³⁾| T: W J Knight| OR: 68| D

5/1

Has enjoyed a productive campaign, making it 4 wins for the year when making all on all-weather at Lingfield in August. Didn't see it out over 1m back on turf 3 weeks ago but the cheekpieces are back on here returned to 7f/all-weather, so much better expected.

Forecasts

Caragio (6/5), Silver Trumpet (9/2), Timely Affair (5/1), Arantes Nascimento (17/2), Lady Manzor (9/1), Cuban Lady (16/1), Receipt (20/1), Strike (22/1), Nezeeh (33/1)

The return to all-weather with cheekpieces back on should see TIMELY AFFAIR quickly back on his game so he's awarded the vote to improve his already impressive strike rate for one of his ability. Stall 1 may not be ideal if Silver Trumpet blows the start again but he's a huge threat at this level, with Caragio also of interest.
