Ensured^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 90| D

18/1

Successful on final start for James Fanshawe at Brighton (11.9f) and followed up after 4 months off/in cheekpieces on debut for new yard at Newmarket (12f) in August. Not disgraced upped to 2m at York latest but this drop back in trip may suit.

Graphite^t⁴²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-10| J: Ray Dawson| T: T Kent| OR: 84| D

40/1

Veteran who was better for return spin/following a wind op when second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 42 days ago, no match for an upwardly mobile 3-y-o. Comes here fresh for this time of year and he's not out of things from this sort of mark.

Form: 223-672

Indemnity³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| OR: 84

4/1

Didn't need to be at best when opening his account in a Nottingham maiden (8.3f) in June. Run with credit all 3 starts since, not seen to very best effect when fifth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 30 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip and one to consider.

Per Contra¹¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: James Doyle| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 91| D

20/1

Lightly-raced sort who made it 3-4 with reappearance victory in 5-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) in April. Given a break since finishing well held at York (10.2f) in May and feasible to think he could yet get back on the up.

Form: 115-17

Percy Shelley^v¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 82

11/1

Useful performer in France who was successful 3 times in 2022. Yet to score in 10 attempts for current yard but has fallen in the weights and possibly found stamina stretched on softer ground when sixth at Goodwood (2m) 18 days ago. Claims back down in trip in refitted visor.

Form: 673536

Lyric¹¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 89

17/2

Confirmed promise of debut effort when taking 8-runner maiden at Windsor (10f) in April. Still looked in need of experience when sixth of 7 in listed race at Goodwood (11.2f) a month later but switch to handicaps more suitable back from a break.

Form: 2-16

Ludo's Landing¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 80

33/1

Consistent sort who picked up his second success of the campaign at Beverley (10f) 18 days ago, well positioned. Yet to defy a mark this high though, and this rates tougher back up in trip.

Form: 225331

Kildare Legend⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 85

10/3

Promising son of Sea The Stars who confirmed improvement shown at Pontefract when opening his account in 13-runner novice at Southwell (11.1f) 45 days ago. Further step up in trip promises to suit now handicapping and he's well worth considering.

Form: 521

Champagne Prince¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 85

15/2

2-2 on AW at the end of 2023. Below form first 2 starts this year but firmly back on track upped markedly in trip when second at Ascot (12f) in August. Seemingly failed to stay in the Melrose at York (13.8f) latest and this looks more suitable back down in class.

Form: 11-7020

(3)

Trouville¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 84

14/1

Chased home smart sorts on first 2 starts before striking at the third time of asking at Chepstow (1¼m, good) at the end of May. Probably best to excuse his handicap debut at Goodwood (9.9f) 19 days ago (hampered by loose horse) and he's not one to write off. Up in trip.

Form: 2219

Xiomara²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: D Menuisier| OR: 81

7/1

Represents a stable in fine fettle and deservedly opened her account in 14-runner French maiden at Dieppe (10.9f) 3 weeks ago. Unexposed at this trip now returning to handicaps and good showing anticipated under Tom Marquand.

Soowaih¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 71

28/1

Yet to taste success for this yard but ran well when runner-up at York (11.8f) in July. In better heart than recent form figures suggest, unable to land a blow in a modestly-run affair when seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 14 days ago. Not dismissed back down in trip.

Form: 624487

Raja Raja⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 77

10/1

Limited encouragement on debut but showed more next 2 starts, fifth of 12 in novice at this C&D (good to soft, 25/1) 88 days ago. Gelded since and he remains with potential now attentions switch to handicaps. Interesting if market speaks in his favour.

Kildare Legend (10/3), Indemnity (4/1), Xiomara (7/1), Champagne Prince (15/2), Lyric (17/2), Raja Raja (10/1), Percy Shelley (11/1), Trouville (14/1), Ensured (18/1), Per Contra (20/1), Saratoga Gold (25/1), Soowaih (28/1), Ludo's Landing (33/1), Graphite (40/1)

In a wide-open finale, it could just be worth chancing David O'Meara's PERCY SHELLEY. He's been far from disgraced tackling longer trips in recent weeks and, having steadily eased in the weights, he's of interest with a visor refitted. Southwell scorer Kildare Legend and Lyric are a pair of 3-y-os also fancied to be in the mix. Soowaih also makes each-way appeal.
