11/2
After a 10-month absence, shaped encouragingly on sole run for Richard Hannon when third of 7 at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) in May. Off a further 3 months since, but he's one to consider dropped in trip returned to his previous yard.

Returned from long absence to make a winning stable debut at Newcastle (8f) in February. Reported to have bled when well held next time, before left poorly placed when down the field back at Newcastle (7f) in May. Others more persuasive.

9/2
Opened his account in 14-runner minor event at Doha (8.4f) in April and ran at least as well when second in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) last month. Major player with more still to offer as he makes only his fourth start in a British handicap.

6/1
Caused an 80/1 upset in a Newbury minor event on return and, after a lesser effort at Royal Ascot, has run well in handicaps on his last 3 starts, third of 7 at Newmarket (8f, good) 13 days ago. Can give another good account.

7/1
Has thrived this year, completing the four-timer when dead-heating at Kempton (8f) in June. Winning run ended but was beaten only a length when fifth of 11 at the same C&D 22 days ago, so he could be in the mix once more.

14/1
Landed the hat-trick when scoring at Doncaster in July but hasn't been quite at the same level on his last 2 starts, never a threat when fifth of 13 at Pontefract (8f, good) 18 days ago. Tongue strap now goes back on.

7/1
Placed all 3 starts for current yard having left Roger Varian after debut, taking a step forward on her handicap bow when runner-up at Goodwood (8f, good) 13 days ago, despite seeming unsuited by the track. Potential of better still to come.

Failed to go on from a winning debut for Ralph Beckett and, after a couple of runs over hurdles, finished well held back on the Flat in a Goodwood seller (11.2f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Others preferred back down in trip.

Forecasts

Aafoor (9/2), Gloucestershire (11/2), Monkey Island (6/1), Berkshire Nugget (7/1), Phoenix Passion (7/1), Faro Di Notte (7/1), Native King (12/1), Sir Gabrial (14/1), Noble Order (14/1), Beylerbeyi (14/1), Youarenotforgiven (16/1), Excel Power (20/1), Spanish Poet (33/1)

Verdict

AAFOOR was suited by the step back up to 1m when beaten only by an improving type at Newmarket on his latest outing, so he is taken to build on that effort and double his tally. Heading the list of dangers is Berkshire Nugget, who isn't taken lightly now that he's opened his account, while Gloucestershire is also one to note back with his former yard.
