Scored at Haydock in May and back to his best when second, beaten a length, in Ascot Group 3 5 weeks ago. Course form figures of 122 bode well and bold bid on the cards despite giving weight.

Plenty of good runs to his name without success in 2021. This is his time of year (all 4 wins in the autumn) and he's not without a chance if getting the breaks in change of headgear.

Raced alone on stand side when landing Ayr Gold Cup in September. Not so good at Ascot since, but is 2-2 over C&D and certainly one of the more likelier winners.

Back to winning ways in 5f Pontefract handicap in the mud last month but this looks beyond his pay grade.

Smashing sprinter yet to win this season but has run well the last twice, no extra only late on in good 5f handicap here a fortnight ago. Took this last year and no surprise to see him go close.

Back to winning ways in C&D handicap a fortnight ago, held up and finishing strongly. Should get a good pace to aim at again but he'll need a career best to take this up in grade.

Course winner who ran well behind Dakota Gold in 5f handicap here last time but he'll need a few to misfire if he's to take this on rare go at 6f.

Has had a tremendous year, winning 3 times in 6f handicaps, and looked back in form for a long way behind Volatile Analyst at York, badly hampered final 1f and not knocked about. Interesting.

Placed in last season's Mill Reef and ran well in the Jersey in June. Not so good since but remains unexposed, not least as a sprinter, down markedly in class now. Visor tried.

Landed a big pot when seeing off 20 rivals in first-time hood in 6f Coral Sprint handicap at York 4 weeks ago. Will need more to follow up at this level and consistency not been his strong suit.

Off the mark for yard in 5f Catterick handicap last month, but not so good twice since and this looks tough back over 6f.

Won 7f Newbury handicap on heavy for the third year running a fortnight ago, easily coming clear. Bit more needed at this level back in distance for all that was a clear career best.

Cost plenty and looking a smart prospect having taken her rivals apart in 6f contests last month. Connections quickly stepping her up markedly in class and she could have tons more to come.

Forecasts

King's Lynn (4/1), Magical Spirit (13/2), Ainsdale (7/1), Dakota Gold (7/1), Bielsa (7/1), Tarhib (15/2), Molls Memory (11/1), Volatile Analyst (12/1), Jouska (14/1), Punchbowl Flyer (16/1), Rhythm Master (25/1), Makanah (40/1), Zargun (80/1), Black Friday (125/1), Teruntum Star (300/1)

Verdict

KING'S LYNN bounced right back to form when beaten just a length in a warm Ascot Group 3 last time and can sign off for the year with another deserved success back at a venue where he's yet to run a bad race. Last year's winner Dakota Gold looks primed for a bold bid again, while the potential big improver Tarhib could be way better than this grade even after just 3 runs.

  1. KING'S LYNN
  2. DAKOTA GOLD
  3. TARHIB (IRE)
