Shadow Dance²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: James Doyle| T: R Varian| OR: 100

3/1

Very useful and progressive handicapper who landed a 12-runner event at the York Ebor meeting (1½m, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. The style of that success suggests this longer trip should be within range. Should go well.

Form: 412-021

Citizen General^b¹²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: D Egan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 94

125/1

Resumed winning ways at Kempton (2m) in February but well held in a valuable event at Newcastle in March and the Chester Cup in May. Others are preferred back from a break.

Form: 74-2100

Evaluation^p1,t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 91

28/1

Scored for new yard at Wolverhampton (16.5f) in April and backed it up with an excellent second in Northumberland Plate at Newcastle in June. Respectable effort back from a break when mid-division in the 2m handicap at the York Ebor meeting. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue tie.

Form: 5-59120

Dream Harder¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Spencer| T: Ian Williams| OR: 89

16/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023 but ran as well as he's ever done when head second of 10 to Insanity at Ascot (1½m, good to firm) in August. Only a respectable fifth on AW at Southwell (11f) since. First attempt at 1¾m

Form: 528626

Faylaq²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 86

18/1

Snapped a long losing run over 1¼m at Ayr in August and another good run when second in the Lanark Silver Bell at Hamilton (1½m, heavy) 3 weeks ago.

Form: 536212

Subsequent²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 95

7/4

Progressive sort who proved well suited by the step up to 1¾m when seeing off 4 rivals at Newmarket 3 weeks ago. A 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him from making a bold bid.

Form: 921151

Quantum Leap^h,t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: P J McDonald| T: E Bethell| OR: 82

9/1

Regular slow starts mean he isn't one for maximum faith but he arrives in form, finishing a creditable fourth of 16 in a 2m handicap at the York Ebor meeting 23 days ago.

Form: 55-2434

(2)

East India Dock^p¹⁰^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: R L Moore| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 84

11/4

Has a largely progressive profile, particularly over 1¾m+, scoring by 4½ lengths over 2m at Goodwood 10 days ago. Player under a 6 lb penalty with Ryan Moore booked.

Form: 120431

SUBSEQUENT appeals as one who should have more to give and can make light of a 4 lb rise for Newmarket. The way that Shadow Dance got on top towards the finish in a competitive 1½m York Ebor meeting handicap suggests this longer trip should be within range and he's feared most ahead of penalised Goodwood scorer East India Dock.
