|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(4)  Spirit Lead Me |  | |  | | | 2 | Finley Marsh | Richard Hughes | Thrice-raced colt who has weak claims on form and may find better opportunities when switched to handicaps. | ||
5th (5)  Winston's Folly | | | | | | 2 | Jason Watson | Andrew Balding | Needs plenty of improvement on his two efforts and should be more interesting in handicaps shortly. | ||
6th (1)  Blue Train | | | | | | 2 | Neil Callan | William Knight | May be sharper with Yarmouth effort under his belt but needs to improve a good deal on the bare form; perhaps one for handicaps later on. | ||
2nd (6)  Luna Girl | | | | | | 2 | Ross Coakley | Richard Hannon | 34,000gns foal, 95,000euros yearling; by Sea The Moon out of a 7f AW winner; sole newcomer in the field; heed the market signals. | ||
4th (7)  Mystical Elegance | | | | | | 2 | David Egan | Raphael E Freire | Record is 0-4, clear best effort when going close at Kempton (7f, AW) in June; not exactly a solid type but that peak form gives her a major chance and the fitting of headgear may have a reviving effect. | ||
3rd (3)  Nidaami | | | | | | 2 | Jack Mitchell | Tom Clover | Showed promise with his third-place finish, albeit no match for the first two, at Chelmsford (7f, AW); again wears blinkers; could go well but pedigree suggests he won't fully bloom until sent over further. | ||
1st (2)  Bold Impact | | | | | | 2 | Rob Hornby | Ralph Beckett | Showed promise behind a smart rival on debut; beaten favourite twice since but is proving consistent (form figures 322) and has a leading chance in this field provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |
The biggest form contenders both wear headgear for the first time, and the outcome may partly depend on which one responds the better. As things stand, BOLD IMPACT earns greater marks for consistency, which makes him more solid than Mystical Elegance. Market confidence behind newcomer Luna Girl should be heeded.[Steve Boow]

(8)  The Caribbean | | | | | | 3 | Jack Mitchell | Heather Main | Successful twice for Aidan O'Brien but was well down the pecking order at that stable; far from solid on his form for current yard. | ||
(7)  Respectful | | | | | | 3 | Gina Mangan | Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole | Ended his 2yo season with a couple of 7f wins; not in anything like the same form this season, latterly for new yard; chance depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. | ||
(6)  Arctician | | | | | | 6 | Paddy Bradley | Simon Dow | Has done all his winning on AW; down the field in C&D event most recently, taking Epsom form figures to 000 and turf record to 0-12; not the percentage call. | ||
2nd (12)  Redredrobin | | | | | | 7 | Charlie Bennett | Malcolm Saunders | Ruined chance with a tardy start at Chepstow last week; close second over C&D the time before, taking Epsom record to 11262; the below-par course effort came in this race last year. | ||
(11)  Good Karma | | | | | | 4 | Darragh Keenan | James Owen | Has failed to beat a rival in three starts for new yard; finished 2l fourth off 9lb higher over C&D on final run for previous stable and could revive back here; dual 7f winner. | ||
(5)  King Cabo | | | | | | 5 | Jack Dace | Luke Dace | Unraced on soft/heavy; in good form over 7f last month, making all in small field at Lingfield then fourth of 15 at Newbury; now 5lb higher but remains below his peak mark; in the mix. | ||
3rd (10)  Orbital Chime | | | | | | 4 | Adam Farragher | James Horton | Heavy-ground winner as a 2yo; ran encouragingly at Thirsk on most recent turf start; possibilities off current mark, provided he's aided by reapplied cheekpieces (second attempt). | ||
(13)  Optiva Star | | | | | | 4 | Joe Leavy | Richard Hannon | All wins in good-ground events at Brighton but went very close in soft-ground contest over C&D last season; drops back to 7f, having raced to freely over 1m on latest start. | ||
(2)  Larado | | | | | | 6 | Alistair Rawlinson | Michael Appleby | Has gained two of his three turf wins at Epsom (good); below best in his two starts on grass this term the return to this venue may have positive effect; on a workable mark. | ||
1st (9)  Hodler | | | | | | 5 | Luke Catton | Jim Boyle | Acts on any going; 0-9 this term and was a disappointing favourite in lower grade most recently; good chance on best form, such as his success (off 6lb higher) in this contest two years ago. | ||
(14)  Roscioli | | | | | | 6 | Kieran O'Neill | Brett Johnson | Acts on soft and good to firm; three-time 1m scorer for current yard, most recently at Salisbury in August; latest effort (AW) shows he remains in form; returns to a trip over which he's 0-7. | ||
4th (1)  Red Mirage | | | | | | 6 | Jason Hart | John & Sean Quinn | Absent since running creditably at Chester three months ago; has a good record when fresh, finds a sharp 7f ideal, remains well treated on historical data and is suited by soft ground; respected. | ||
(3)  G'Daay | | | | | | 6 | Jason Watson | Joseph Parr | Regained the winning thread at Lingfield (good); only eighth of 14 here later in August but is capable of better Epsom form, having scored off this mark over C&D (good to firm) in 2023. | ||
(15)  Beau Jardine | | | | | | 6 | Shariq Mohd | Rachel Cook & John Bridger | Outstayed over 1m at Salisbury last time; back up in grade but receives weight all round and the return to 7f looks a plus; interesting granted very slow ground (3-5 on soft/heavy). | ||
(4)  Marlay Park | | | | | | 6 | Pat Cosgrave | Jim Boyle | All wins on good/firmer but seems to handle slow ground; back in better form here the last twice and remains on a handy mark; has a record of 121 in this race (last three years) and again looks solid. |
Topweight RED MIRAGE (nap) has everything in his favour and gets the vote ahead of Marlay Park, who has an excellent record in this contest. Larado has possibilities back at Epsom and Beau Jardine would enter calculations if the ground stays soft, while Orbital Chime and Good Karma are both interesting off a mark of 74.[Steve Boow]

(2)  Mildyjama | | | | | | 4 | Jason Watson | Patrick Chamings | Two wins (good/AW) for previous stable; 0-5 for current yard and finished last of four on latest outing; however, has become well handicapped on best form. | ||
(5)  Lawn Ranger | | | | | | 9 | Paddy Bradley | Michael Attwater | Has done most of his winning at Windsor; far from solid on 2024 form and may be slightly on the wane aged nine; not the percentage call. | ||
(7)  Dotties Star | | | | | | 5 | David Egan | Pat Phelan | Below-par outsider in C&D event last month, having got loose beforehand; competitively weighted on some of his form but still seeking first win (0-15). | ||
3rd (6)  Mrembo | | | | | | 5 | Rob Hornby | Jonathan Portman | Raced mainly on good/firmer; recent form includes two placed efforts over C&D; close fourth at Windsor last time; still 1lb below last winning mark and has a fighting chance in new headgear. | ||
(9)  Eljaytee | | | | | | 6 | Kieran O'Neill | John Berry | Both wins (soft/good) in Class 6; ran creditably in Class 5 event at Newmarket most recently but he's well exposed and likely set for another supporting role. | ||
| 4th (1) Savanna King | | | | | | 4 | Jack Mitchell | Joseph Parr | 0-4 for the Gosdens and 0-4 for current stable; placed off 2lb higher at Haydock (1m2f, good) on penultimate start and that form puts him in the picture; connections won this race last year. | ||
2nd (3)  Thursday | | | | | | 4 | Christian Howarth | Simon Dow | Unraced on softer than good; successful twice this summer and ran very well in higher grade over C&D on penultimate outing; couldn't quite justify favouritism at Windsor latest but remains of interest. | ||
1st (4)  Imperial Cult | | | | | | 5 | Gina Mangan | Rachel Cook & John Bridger | Scored twice at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in July, then went very close in C&D contest (good) on the return to turf; things didn't pan out ideally at Goodwood since; possibilities on the earlier form. | ||
(8)  Daphne May | | | | | | 6 | Harry Davies | Gary & Josh Moore | 0-12 this term but recent AW form includes a couple of encouraging efforts, albeit at a modest level; 2-3 at Epsom, suited by slow ground in this sphere and looks interesting back here. |
The shortlist is headed by the runners who have good recent C&D form, namely THURSDAY, Imperial Cult and Mrembo in that order of preference. Daphne May is interesting back at Epsom for the first time this year, while Savanna King has possibilities for last year's winning connections.[Steve Boow]

10th (3)  Met Office | | | | | | 7 | Jack Quinlan | John Butler | Ex-French; two 1m4f AW runs last November, including a 50-1 win off 2lb lower, were his only competitive displays from eight starts in Britain stretching back nearly two years; others look more solid. | ||
5th (8)  Poncho | | | | | | 6 | Niall Houlihan | Gary & Josh Moore | Plumpton novice hurdle winner (on good to soft in January 2023); well beaten in a handicap hurdle this June and his three other races this year were switched to Flat rules; carries his head high and was possibly outstayed over 1m6f on penultimate start, but this looks a viable opening mark on Flat. | ||
9th (1)  Liseo | | | | | | 5 | Jonjo O'Neill Jr | Simon & Ed Crisford | Three-time winner on Polytrack but 0-12 on turf; second of five on soft ground last August on his only run at Epsom; usually seen over a bit shorter, as when staying-on fourth of eight at Beverley on latest start, which was up with his best turf form but he needs to find a bit extra. | ||
2nd (5)  Big Bear Hug | | | | | | 5 | Lee Edwards | Adam West | Last three outings were at this track, winning in July and a close third next time (both 1m2f) before never dangerous over 1m latest; they were on a sound surface but she looked fine in the mud earlier this term; she's only once been beyond 1m2f (below form in 2022) and stamina is the big question. | ||
8th (10)  Dundory | | | | | | 8 | Nick Scholfield | John O'Shea | Second over 1m4f on both his appearances at Epsom; no win since April 2023 (1m4f, soft) and needs better than when fourth on his last two outings, but he's 7lb lower than on reappearance and now switches from his usual cheekpieces to blinkers; not totally ruled out. | ||
6th (9)  Naasma | | | | | | 5 | Sean Houlihan | Pat Phelan | Second or third on all four outings at this track, including penultimate start; acts on good to soft, below form here on sole start on soft; place chance if the ground is okay. | ||
1st (2)  Miller Spirit | | | | | | 4 | David Noonan | Gary & Josh Moore | Won on soft ground last September and at Goodwood over 1m4f (good) and 1m6f (good to soft) in the space of a week this June; form dipped when he tried front-running on soft back at Goodwood on latest start; player if that can be forgiven. | ||
4th (7)  Haliphon | | | | | | 7 | Charlie Todd | Ian Williams | Twice runner-up over 1m4f from three races at Epsom, including this July; won in clearcut style at Haydock (good to soft) last week and has to be considered seriously under a 4lb penalty, despite some inconsistency and his British record suggesting he has more to prove on soft. | ||
3rd (4)  Parramount | | | | | | 8 | Lilly Pinchin | Charlie Longsdon | Fairly useful hurdler who is unexposed on the Flat and was runner-up on AW this summer in two of his three Flat handicaps; looked stretched when front-running over 1m6f at Haydock in between, which was a creditable show on good ground and his peak effort over hurdles came on soft; one to consider. | ||
7th (6)  Enochdhu | | | | | | 4 | Charlie Deutsch | Jonathan Portman | Won at Bath (1m3f, soft) in April and has run creditably on most starts since, at up to 1m6f; unlikely to be far away if she handles this track. |
Haliphon would go very well if reproducing his Haydock form from last Thursday and he's effective on this track, but soft ground might hand the initiative to PARRAMOUNT, whose latest win over hurdles came on soft. He's come second in two of his three handicaps on the Flat. Miller Spirit's experiment with front-running last time did not work out but previous efforts this term suggest he is a danger.[Richard Austen]

(7)  Run Joy Run | | | | | | 3 | Josephine Gordon | Adam West | Record is just 1-15, the win gained over 1m on AW (stays 1m2f); inconsistent form, including on turf, this summer and didn't convince with stamina over 11.5f on penultimate start. | ||
4th (5)  Toronto Raptor | | | | | | 3 | David Egan | Michael Bell | 0-6; best handicap effort when solid second, splitting subsequent winners, at Pontefract (1m4f, soft; off 1lb higher) on penultimate start; that form gives him a strong chance. | ||
2nd (3)  Bittalemon | | | | | | 3 | Cieren Fallon | William Haggas | Nicely bred filly who has duly shown ability, third at Southwell (1m6f, AW; handicap debut) most recently; first win is possible, provided she improves for first-time headgear. | ||
(6)  War Director | | | | | | 3 | Harry Davies | David Menuisier | Showed promise in heavy-ground maiden last October; holds weak claims on the rest of his form but may improve off this reduced mark granted a deep surface, which he's rarely had. | ||
(4)  Birkin | | | | | | 3 | Kieran O'Neill | John & Thady Gosden | Similar type to Bittalemon, being a well-bred filly who has raced only four times and may do better still; siblings include a useful performer for her connections; not ruled out. | ||
3rd (1)  Dubawi Time | | | | | | 3 | Neil Callan | William Knight | Non-stayer over 1m6f last time; his 1m4f form, which includes solid efforts behind subsequent winners this summer for new yard, has substance; enters calculations back at this trip. | ||
1st (2)  Small Fry | | | | | | 3 | Tom Queally | Gary & Josh Moore | Ex-Irish gelding who opened his account at Lingfield (1m5f, AW; third run for new stable) in July; creditable second at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) since; possibilities in current form. |
Topweight DUBAWI TIME has solid 1m4f form and gets the vote ahead of Toronto Raptor, who remains interesting on his Pontefract effort. Small Fry possibly hasn't reached his peak yet, while a few others may be capable of improvement.[Steve Boow]

4th (2)  Local Bay | | | | | | 6 | David Egan | Tony Carroll | Bagged his fourth success of 2024 at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 35 days ago; up another 4lb but this C&D scorer is not taken lightly in his current mood. | ||
(3)  New Heights | | | | | | 6 | Rob Hornby | Jonathan Portman | Arrives in decent nick, fifth of 12 in 1m Sandown handicap last month; took this 12 months ago so he can't be ruled out off an easing mark. | ||
(7)  We'renotreallyhere | | | | | | 4 | Kieran O'Neill | Daniel Steele | Right back on song of late since the cheekpieces went on, landing 1m handicap on Lingfield AW before backing it up with a very good third of 11 there three weeks ago; player off the same mark. | ||
(1)  Desfondado | | | | | | 4 | Paddy Bradley | Simon Dow | C&D winner but he arrives well below par, beating only one in 1m Kempton AW handicap 29 days ago; he needs to get back on track. | ||
2nd (6)  Finn Russell | | | | | | 4 | Joe Leavy | Ian Williams | Got off the mark on turf at Carlisle (9f) in August and backed it up with a solid second of four in handicap hurdle at Les Landes 17 days ago; needs considering. | ||
3rd (4)  Chips And Rice | | | | | | 5 | Ross Coakley | James Fanshawe | On a losing sequence but she comes here in good form, suffering a poor run when sixth in 1m2f handicap here last month; she's weighted to go well in refitted cheekpieces. | ||
1st (5)  Mostawaa | | | | | | 8 | Jack Mitchell | Heather Main | It's now 13 starts since his last victory but he was in good order until coming in only tenth in 1m Windsor handicap four weeks ago; he's the sort to bounce back. |
A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for WE'RENOTREALLYHERE, who has thrived since the cheekpieces went on and can quickly regain winning ways on the back of a very good Lingfield third. Chips And Rice didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth here last time and is feared most ahead of in-form pair Local Bay and New Heights.[Peter Entwistle]

(8)  Alika Breeze | | | | | | 3 | Finley Marsh | Richard Hughes | Down the field on all three starts this year (AW/good to firm) and has something to prove, but she showed promise on soft going on her final 2yo outing and might not be a forlorn hope in view of the forecast slow ground. | ||
4th (4)  Graecia | | | | | | 3 | David Egan | John Butler | Encouraging fifth at Newmarket (7f, heavy) last November on sole 2yo start and left reappearance run well behind when runner-up at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) in May; has had another break since but she brings potential to this handicap debut and could go well, especially if attracting market support. | ||
(9)  Autumn Dream | | | | | | 3 | William Cox | Charles Hills | Not devoid of promise when fourth on handicap and seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in July, and this drop back in trip is a possible plus; however, she flopped back at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) last time and it's hard to be confident after that; unraced on slow ground. | ||
(2)  Speeding Bullet | | | | | | 3 | Joe Leavy | Richard Hannon | Won soft-ground nursery at Newmarket (7f, soft) last October and now 4lb lower; the forecast slow ground is in his favour but he's been rather underwhelming on his four outings this year. | ||
(3)  Sunny Corner | | | | | | 3 | Rob Hornby | Stuart Kittow | Tends to be slowly away and he couldn't get into it at Windsor last time; however, he was progressive previously over 1m (good to firm-good to soft), with three wins between May and July, and he could bounce back today. | ||
2nd (7)  Between Me And U | | | | | | 3 | Jason Hart | Michael Herrington | Having had wind surgery he comfortably exploited a reduced mark on last Thursday's stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW); won on turf last year (good to soft) and he could be well treated under a 6lb penalty. | ||
(6)  Hello Cotai | | | | | | 3 | Jack Dace | Adam West | Outstayed over 1m2f here (good to soft) in July then won over C&D (good) next time; bounced back from Sandown blip to win over C&D (good) last time and has the makings of a course specialist; firmly in calculations. | ||
1st (5)  Tribal Chief | | | | | | 3 | Harry Davies | David Menuisier | Below par on sole run on slow ground but the evidence isn't damning; won at Nottingham (1m, good) in June and back on the scoresheet at Kempton (1m, AW) latest; steadily progressive and could have more left in the tank. | ||
3rd (1)  Crimson Spirit | | | | | | 3 | Ross Coakley | Daniel & Claire Kubler | Won 7f maiden here (good) last August and good second over C&D (good) last month; has also run well on good to soft ground (unraced on softer); high on the list at a course he likes. |
Between Me And U impressed on his first start for Michael Herrington last week and could have more to offer for the yard, but preference is for the progressive TRIBAL CHIEF who won at Kempton most recently. Crimson Spirit and Hello Cotai like it here and are entitled to respect, while Graecia is an interesting handicap newcomer.[Ben Hutton]
