Westridge³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 88| D

6/1

Progressive son of Blue Point who improved another chunk when shedding maiden tag in a Windsor novice (1m) 38 days ago, edging out his stablemate who tasted success next-time-out. Remains with a good deal of untapped potential now handicapping.

Ebt's Guard²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 87| D

8/1

Consistent type who deservedly opened his account when landing the odds in 1m Thirsk maiden in June. Enhanced his form further returned to handicaps since, running on for third having lost crucial momentum at Ascot (1m) 3 weeks ago. Revised mark not prohibitive on that evidence.

Form: 6-32123

Apiarist²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 87

40/1

Edged ahead late on in valuable sales' race at York (7f, heavy) on final start at 2 yrs and performed creditably whilst looking no more than averagely treated in handicaps on each of his last 2 starts. Little more needed.

Form: 241-534

Jungle Mac¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J Channon| OR: 87| D

8/1

Off the mark in an all-weather maiden in February and having proved consistent in handicaps since, he duly resumed winning ways at Newmarket (1m) 12 days ago, despite typically looking ungainly. Up 5 lb in a stronger race but he can't be ruled out.

Form: 343221

Treasure Time¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 87

7/2

Steadily progressive son of Time Test who opened his account at Newmarket (7f) in June and stepped up further up in class when runner-up back at that venue (1m) 3 weeks ago. Up 6 lb on the back of that but he's going the right way and needs considering.

Form: 92-4512

Spanish Blaze²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 85| BF

11/1

Dual winner at 2 yrs who proved more settled with his reappearance behind him when successful at Sandown (7f) in June and similar form from revised mark when runner-up back at that venue 26 days ago. This tougher again from career-high mark but this only his second crack at 1m.

Form: 130-612

The Ice Phoenix^b1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Egan| T: C Hills| OR: 85| D

50/1

Progressed further under a well-judged rude to land an 11-runner handicap at Ascot (1m) in May but finished well-beaten on both subsequent starts. Needs to get back on track with blinkers now reached for.

Form: 1-53188

Native King^h²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Spencer| T: H Palmer| OR: 84| BF| D

18/1

Bred to be useful and he showed improved form making yard debut/after 3 months off on handicap debut at Chester (7.6f) in June. Not seen to best effect (forced very wide) when fourth back at that venue 20 days ago. This understandably tougher but he's still low mileage.

Form: 92314

Diligent Resdev⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 80| BF

22/1

Low-mileage sort who caused a shock when edging ahead close home on handicap debut at York (7f) in May. Up 5 lb, far from disgraced when fifth of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (7f) the following month but this looks to demand more.

Form: 1-315

Rockstar Icon⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jim Crowley| T: P & O Cole| OR: 80

12/1

Improved (having been gelded) to land a Lingfield novice (7f) in December and produced an encouraging reappearance effort when fifth of 19 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 89 days ago. Step up to 1m promises to suit and likely there's more to come.

Form: 721-5

Sir Gabrial⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 73| D

17/2

Havana grey colt who showed much improved form on the back of a break when running out a comfortable winner of 7-runner Salisbury handicap (1m) 8 days ago. Suspicion that race did rather fall apart but he can't be ruled out under a penalty.

Form: 41-471

(5)

Golden Pharaoh²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Harrison Shaw| T: S Dixon| OR: 78

66/1

Fairly useful performer at up to this trip in France who has run creditably on each of his 3 starts for present connections. However, questionable whether he's well-handicapped enough to play a lead role here.

Form: 165945

Bill's Baar⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Keatley| OR: 76| BF

11/2

Winner at Ripon in September. Good placed efforts all 3 outings so far this term, just failing in 14-runner handicap at York (7f) on Saturday. Wont be long in going one place better on that evidence and booking of Hollie Doyle a plus. Respected.

Form: 152-232

Great Chieftain^b¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: J Fanning| T: P & O Cole| OR: 76| D

20/1

Improved since the headgear was applied, opening his account at Newbury (1m) and di best of those from off the pace when runner-up at Windsor (1m) 17 days ago. Likely he'll stay 1¼m on that evidence in due course and draw could have been kinder here.

Forecasts

Treasure Time (7/2), Bill's Baar (11/2), Westridge (6/1), Qirat (6/1), Ebt's Guard (8/1), Jungle Mac (8/1), Mount Teide (8/1), Sir Gabrial (17/2), Spanish Blaze (11/1), Rockstar Icon (12/1), Cerulean Bay (12/1), Native King (18/1), Great Chieftain (20/1), Diligent Resdev (22/1), Local Hero (33/1), Apiarist (40/1), The Ice Phoenix (50/1), Golden Pharaoh (66/1), Diddy Man (66/1), Versatile (100/1)

Having opened his account at Newmarket in June, TREASURE TIME took another step forward when going down narrowly on his first crack at 1m when runner-up back at that venue 3 weeks ago. Boasting strong form and open to further improvement, he looks to have plenty going for him again. Bill's Baar and Westridge are others to consider along with Ebt's Guard. Jungle Mac and Qirat also command a second look in a competitive finale.
