Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Donagh Murphy⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 54| CD

11/1

C&D scorer who resumed winning ways at Bath (1m) in July. Creditable third of 7 at Windsor next time but his run of good form has come to a halt the last twice.

11/2

Bounced back to form with a bang when making all in 110runner C&D handicap 15 days ago. Raised 3 lb but he won off 5 lb higher last year. Could take a bit of stopping from the inside stall.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Ashley Lewis| T: A Wintle| OR: 47| CD

14/1

C&D winner but 15 runs since last win in 2025. Good 2¼ lengths fourth of 11 to Aspire To Glory in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago. Should figure again but may struggle to turn the tables.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Rose Dawes| T: H Dickin| OR: 46

11/2

Lady Delila^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Alexandra Egan⁽⁵⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 45

16/1

Long-standing maiden. Below- form eighth of 13 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 40/1) 14 days ago. Down in trip. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 295848

Pacific Prince¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Oliver Carmichael⁽⁵⁾| T: J Bennett| OR: 45

40/1

Maiden who fared better than of late when fifth of 11 (40/1) at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) 16 days ago but it's still not a run which makes him of interest.

Form: 60B885

Forecasts

Homme De Fer (3/1), Snooze Lane (4/1), Fulford Cross (4/1), Aspire To Glory (11/2), Hopjes (11/2), Havana Club (11/1), Ravenglass (14/1), Lady Delila (16/1), Pacific Prince (40/1)

ASPIRE TO GLORY retains handicapping scope based on peak form and is ideally drawn for a front runner so there are reasons to be hopeful that he can supplement his recent C&D success. Snooze Lane shaped well on his recent return from an absence and is second choice ahead of Ravenglass, who was behind the selection here last time.
