Pistoletto⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: J Ryan| OR: 98

40/1

Useful performer over 5f/6f in Ireland for Aidan O'Brien but will require a big career best if he's to overcome a mark in the high-90s on his first start for new connections.

Form: 42-3890

(9)

Society Lion^t²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 97

15/8

Improved when landing 7f Glorious Goodwood handicap in August. Has shaped well in defeat over that same trip twice since (here latterly) and this strong traveller is interesting now dropping to 6f.

Form: 1-42133

(3)

Desert Safari¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 94| BF| D

14/1

Career best when winning 6f Chelmsford handicap last month. Shaped as if still in good form when third over 5f there since. Return to 6f in his favour.

Form: 2-35713

(5)

Cold Front^t²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 93

11/4

Made all in 7f Haydock maiden in July. Bounced back quickly from a blip at York when second at Doncaster (7f) in first-time tongue tie 22 days ago. Has speed to cope with drop back to 6f. Player.

Form: 2-22102

(7)

Additional⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Meade| OR: 91

22/1

Made all in weak 7f Lingfield novice in June. Has struggled when stepped up to listed company twice since but more realistic chance now switching to a handicap.

Form: 3189

(6)

Fresh²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: K Shoemark| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 86| BF| D

7/1

Useful effort when making a successful handicap debut at Kempton (6f) in August and creditable fourth off this revised mark at Doncaster since. Another who has to enter the reckoning.

Form: 54214

(1)

Many A Star¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: J G Given| OR: 86| D

6/1

Progressive sprinter who made it 2 wins from 4 starts this year when readily accounting for 5 rivals at Yarmouth last month. Up 5 lb in a deeper race but he may have more to offer.

Form: 20-1321

(4)

Buhturi²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 86| D

11/1

Stepped up on his juvenile form when runner-up in 6f handicaps on first 2 outings this year and it's perhaps best to ignore a lesser effort over 7f last time.

Form: 563-229

(10)

Stone Circle^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 81| D

16/1

Tongue strap on first time (retained), respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f) 13 days ago. Return to sprinting needs to spark improvement if he's to notch first handicap success now.

Forecasts

Society Lion (15/8), Cold Front (11/4), Many A Star (6/1), King's Lynn (13/2), Fresh (7/1), Buhturi (11/1), Musicality (12/1), Rovaniemi (12/1), Desert Safari (14/1), Stone Circle (16/1), Additional (22/1), Pistoletto (40/1)

A strong 3-y-o handicap. KING'S LYNN had excuses for his run in the Ayr Silver Cup and is worth another chance as he remains well treated based on his second to a subsequent listed winner on his reappearance. Society Lion was headed only late on in a big-field 7f event here last time and rates a likely danger, while Cold Front is also respected for a yard that has won this twice in recent years.
