9/4
Thrived last summer and has carried on the good work this year, runner-up in Summer Handicap Hurdle at Market Rasen in July before an excellent second of 20 to Magical Zoe in the Ebor at York (1¾m, good to firm) 4 weeks ago. Leading player.

Course winner. Smart performer at his best for Keith Dalgleish. Not so good in three runs for Charlie Johnston and he's yet to threaten for present stable.

Admirable veteran who is still capable of very useful form, including a win over C&D in June. Not quite in on his game at Haydock last time but return to this track is well in his favour.

Enjoying a fine season and resumed winning ways in a race run to suit at Naas last time. No reason why she won't give her running again and is well worth respecting.

Signed off for David Simcock with a double, again having a bit to spare at Chelmsford 76 days ago. Back on turf and interesting to see if the market speaks in his favour starting out for a shrewd yard.

17/2
Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (13/8) at Thirsk (12f, good to firm) 14 days ago, very much having run of race. Will likely face competition for the lead and likely vulnerable after a rise.

Fairly useful 4yo who only needed to return to form to make a winning return at Southwell 5 months ago. Not seen since and rise probably enough to stop him.

Latest win at Thirsk in June. Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Catterick (13.9f, good to soft, 16/5) 11 days ago. Should give another good account.

Forecasts

Kihavah (9/4), Euchen Glen (11/4), Fiver Friday (11/2), Kitsune Power (13/2), La Pulga (17/2), Cool Party (11/1), Mountain Road (11/1), Chichester (66/1)

Verdict

Ebor runner-up KIHAVAH should find this much less competitive and, with a performance of similar merit, he'll be tough to beat. Fiver Friday is a big threat on the back of a third success of the season at Naas, while the veteran Euchen Glen should benefit from a return to this track.
