Kodi Lion²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Cieren Fallon| T: M Appleby| OR: 91| D

10/1

Back to winning ways in comfortable style at Haydock (6f) in September. Left poorly placed when fifth of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good) since. Very much one to consider.

One Smack Mac^t1⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 89

100/1

Useful in Ireland for Ger Lyons but without a win since his debut and he's offered little in 4 outings for new connections this summer. Tongue strap goes on for first time. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 00-0900

Morte Point²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 87| D

14/1

Blinkered for first time when scoring at Chepstow in July. Had headgear left off when taking a step back in right direction with ninth of 16 in handicap at Newbury (7f, firm) 24 days ago. Not out of things off a slipping mark.

God Of War^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Egan| T: Tom Clover| OR: 86| D

5/1

Scored at Sandown (7f) last summer but has yet to match that level this season, running respectably fitted with cheekpieces when fourth at Sandown (7f) and Yarmouth (6f) last 2 runs. Possibilities back up to 7f.

Humam^t³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 86| D

22/1

Ended time for Andrew Balding with York success last June. Winless since though placed twice this season and suffered a poor run when twelfth of 15 in handicap at York (7f, good) 37 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Form: 030380

Flight Control³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: K Frost| OR: 88| D

4/1

Reliable sort who doubled his tally at York (7f) in July. Posted a very good second of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Can go well again nudged up 1 lb.

Ata Rangi¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 85| D

11/1

Resumed with 7f Haydock success in May. Largely run with credit since, including when fourth of 11 in handicap there (7f, soft) 18 days ago. Not dismissed off an easing mark.

Form: 5-14864

Sergeant Wilko⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 85| C

9/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2024 but he recorded a good second of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 8 days ago, sticking to his task. This course winner needs considering.

Kisskodi⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 85| C| D

22/1

A 4-time winner (including here) in 2025 who got back on the up when successful at Chepstow (7f, soft) in June. Below his best in 7f handicaps at Southwell and Epsom since, though. More is required.

Form: 5-35185

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: M Herrington| OR: 86| D

12/1

Signed off for Jane Chapple-Hyam with success at Yarmouth (7f) in June. Added to it for new yard at Thirsk (7f) in August and has run well when second at Ascot (7f) and a close sixth of 14 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) since. In the mix again.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: G G Margarson| OR: 83| D

7/2

Hello Youmzain colt who has progressed with each outing, easily getting off the mark in 9-runner maiden at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) in June. Returns from a break off a handy-looking mark for his handicap debut. Big player.

Form: 8-421

Astrazar⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Downing| T: E Walker| OR: 84| D

14/1

Dual 7f winner last autumn. Yet to add to it this season but runner-up at Newmarket (1m) in July. Drawn widest and again slowly away when well held at York (1m) since. Still needs to take a step forward at these weights, though.

Form: 1-97420

11/1

Winless since his debut but gone close on a couple of occasions, including on return to these shores when third at Windsor (6f) in June. Not so good since and others appeal more.

Form: 003070

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 78

22/1

Successful twice at Lingfield this year, latest on the turf in May. Below that form since, very slowly away when last of 7 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) last time.

English Time (4/1), Flight Control (6/1), Hungarian (8/1), Astrazar (8/1), Sergeant Wilko (10/1), Ata Rangi (10/1), Kodi Lion (12/1), Raging Raj (12/1), Dapper Guest (14/1), Righthere Rightnow (16/1), Foreseen (16/1), God Of War (16/1), Kisskodi (20/1), Morte Point (20/1), Humam (20/1), One Smack Mac (33/1), Our Havana (33/1), Daydreama (33/1)

ENGLISH TIME impressively landed a maiden at Ffos Las (form been franked) when last seen out in June and is fancied to return in style off a lenient-looking mark for his handicap debut. Flight Control is feared most on the back of a very good Doncaster second, while Kodi Lion, Ata Rangi and Sergeant Wilko can all play a prominent role too.
