1st (3)  Secret Of Love |  | |  | | | 2 | P J McDonald | Andrew Balding | 9-1 when beaten 6l into sixth of nine on last month's Newmarket debut (7f, good to firm); seemed to find everything happening too quickly and although the extra furlong may help, this is unlikely to be truly run; may need an even stiffer test being a sister to a 1m6f AW winner. | ||
2nd (1)  Cardinal Point | | | | | | 2 | James Doyle | Charlie Appleby | April foal by Dubawi; half-sister to 11.4f/1m4f winner Night Breeze (RPR 82); dam 7f winner (96), half-sister to Melbourne Cup winner Cross Counter, out of French Listed-placed 6.7f/7f winner; with just one rival she has strong chance of making a winning debut for stable 8-21 (38%) here since the Tapeta was laid. |
Charlie Appleby has a fine record here and CARDINAL POINT is taken to make a winning debut in this match. The step up in trip is a likely plus for Secret Of Love but she may need further still.[David Bellingham]

(2)  Bet Me | | | | | | 4 | Pat Cosgrave | George Boughey | Her two wins have come on slow turf but she showed aptitude for AW, albeit Polytrack, in two Kempton runs early in the year; low-key return from a break at Newmarket last month; one of two runners for George Boughey. | ||
(4)  Enola Grey | | | | | | 4 | Ethan Jones | Gemma Tutty | Four AW wins since December, the latest of them over C&D in March off a 1lb lower mark; this is less competitive than the handicaps she contested last month but still has something to prove for now. | ||
(7)  Beautiful Dawn | | | | | | 3 | Cam Hardie | Derek Shaw | Three runs for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland, winning a 1m fillies' maiden at Dundalk in January before dead-heating in a three-runner 7f handicap back there one month later; this 330,000euros yearling has since changed hands for 7,000gns and she looks best watched on stable debut after a layoff. | ||
2nd (1)  Valkyrian | | | | | | 4 | William Carver | Jamie Osborne | Hasn't looked back since being ridden more positively, winning 1m handicaps at Lingfield (AW) and twice at Chepstow; won decisively on the latest occasion and although she's penalised, she is now back against her own sex; solid contender. | ||
4th (6)  Placeholder | | | | | | 3 | Billy Loughnane | George Boughey | Won Newcastle maiden (1m) on debut 12 months ago and added Wolverhampton novice (7f) in July; only third on her handicap debut three weeks ago but that was a run that promised better; one of the likelier ones back on AW. | ||
3rd (5)  Eleftheria | | | | | | 3 | Rossa Ryan | Paul & Oliver Cole | Two wins on Polytrack this season, a 7f fillies' novice and a 1m handicap off 3lb lower; perhaps needed the run back from an 11-week break last time; not ruled out. | ||
1st (3)  Raheena | | | | | | 3 | Harry Davies | Simon & Ed Crisford | Off the mark at the fourth attempt when landing a 7f fillies' novice at Kempton in good style three weeks ago; hit with a 7lb rise for that but she could well have more in the tank now handicapping; should be equally effective at 1m. |
Valkyrian is thriving this summer and she can make another bold bid back against her own sex but the 3yos Raheena and PLACEHOLDER both look capable of better. Preference is for the latter on the back of her promising third in a Racing League handicap three weeks ago.[Paul Smith]

(5)  Different Drum | | | | | | 3 | Jimmy Quinn | Louise Allan | No progress for the switch to handicaps when a well-beaten 50-1 shot here (1m3f) in July; dropped 3lb but too much to prove for comfort. | ||
(4)  Freds Mate | | | | | | 3 | Billy Loughnane | Charlie Johnston | Tapeta winner as a 2yo; latest third of six here (1m6f; visored first time) wasn't a bad effort but it will need bettering if he's to come out on top today. | ||
(3)  Old Saxony | | | | | | 3 | Jim Crowley | David Simcock | No improvement for the switch to handicaps as yet but this is a drop in class and he did attract good support at Newmarket 12 days ago (nearly 4l behind Aulis). | ||
2nd (2)  Minstrel Knight | | | | | | 3 | P J McDonald | Edward Bethell | Gradual improvement in handicaps this year, culminating in a comfortable 1m3f win at Carlisle 12 weeks ago; today's extra furlong should suit and he still has potential; promise here over the winter; strong claims. | ||
1st (1)  Aulis | | | | | | 3 | Rossa Ryan | Ralph Beckett | Runner-up on his last four starts and beaten favourite on the last three occasions; rather threw away the Newmarket race he contested 12 days ago, hanging right and carrying his head high when in front; visor replaces blinkers this time; has the ability to run well but there are reservations. |
Aulis has the ability to win races but he looked especially tricky at Newmarket 12 days ago and MINSTREL KNIGHT looks the safe option. Ed Bethell's 3yo has been absent since June but the horse he beat at Carlisle is now rated 21lb higher. The extra furlong should suit and he showed an aptitude for the track in his novice runs.[Paul Smith]

8th (9)  Blondelle | | | | | | 4 | Duran Fentiman | Christine Dunnett | Achieved her first placing when third of seven at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) on her penultimate start, but still finished 14l behind the winner; now 0-18; look elsewhere. | ||
9th (6)  Tio Mio | | | | | | 6 | Joey Haynes | Michael Chapman | C&D winner for Gary Hanmer in April last year and 4lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) for Alex French in December, but has shown nothing in five starts for this yard and was tailed off here (1m4f) last month; best watched. | ||
7th (4)  Edwina Sheeran | | | | | | 4 | Ethan Jones | Roger Fell & Sean Murray | Enjoyed a fine time of it on turf last year with four wins over 1m4f, the latest off this mark; hasn't shone in two starts since returning from a lengthy absence last month and has given the impression she may need a stiffer test than this on the AW. | ||
6th (5)  Sonning | | | | | | 6 | Oisin Orr | Danny Brooke | Last three wins have come over hurdles, but he has won on Flat turf and ran well in both starts at Catterick (1m4f/1m6f) last month; twice well beaten here in the spring, though, which leaves him with something to prove. | ||
2nd (8)  The Pug | | | | | | 4 | P J McDonald | Sylvester Kirk | Has never shown much aptitude for turf in six attempts, so last month's dismal performance at Leicester isn't hard to forgive; scored twice over C&D around this time last year and is 3lb lower than for the most recent; interesting. | ||
3rd (1)  Kingsley Pride | | | | | | 4 | Billy Loughnane | Charlie Johnston | Looked as though he might be on the way back when third of eight on return from 320 days off at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) in July, but has gone quiet again twice since; now 0-13 and hard to warm to despite dropping into a Class 6 for the first time. | ||
1st (7)  The Bay Warrior | | | | | | 6 | Robert Havlin | Mark Usher | Has been running creditably lately and is back off the same mark as when last successful at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in January; 2lb lower than when placed in both starts over C&D in the spring and high on the list now returned here. | ||
4th (3)  Bearaway | | | | | | 6 | Dale Swift | Seb Spencer | Both wins on turf in 2022 and, having dropped a long way in the weights, has run some creditable races on grass lately as when beaten less than a length into third of 12 at Ayr (1m2f, good) last month; 0-11 on the AW but he could figure if building on that latest effort. | ||
5th (2)  Kehlani | | | | | | 4 | Daniel Muscutt | Kevin Philippart De Foy | 0-9 in handicaps and didn't step up from a promising return/stable debut at Windsor (11.4f, good to soft) in April, but she is 5lb lower than when second of 14 here (1m4f) in August last year; could play a part if the return to this track reinvigorates her. |
Kehlani could play a part having run well in her only previous visit here, while Bearaway could also make an impact if transferring his recent turf form back to the AW, but the two to focus on are The Bay Warrior and THE PUG. The former is back off his last winning mark and was twice placed off 2lb higher over this C&D in the spring, but slight preference is for The Pug who won twice here at around this time last year and has dropped 3lb lower than for his latest success.[David Bellingham]

3rd (2)  Charging Thunder | | | | | | 6 | Ben Robinson | David O'Meara | Has won twice over this far, including on Polytrack, so stepping back up in trip not an issue, but his losing run is now up to 18 despite having dropped 12lb below his last winning mark; others are preferred. | ||
(1)  Fleurman | | | | | | 6 | Rossa Ryan | Olly Murphy | In good form on Tapeta at other tracks early last year (1122), but not in the same form since and although not beaten far into fifth of seven at Chelmsford (2m, Polytrack; first start since wind surgery) in July, he will need to find plenty more to win this. | ||
| (5) Attila The Honey | | | | | | 3 | Billy Loughnane | Charlie Johnston | Won her first two handicaps here (1m4f/1m3f) in the spring; added another success at Newbury (1m5f, good) in July and probably should have followed up at Ascot (2m, good) a week later; last two efforts have been poor, but it wouldn't be a huge shock were she to bounce back. | ||
2nd (3)  Story Horse | | | | | | 4 | Jim Crowley | William Knight | Two wins on turf this summer, at Lingfield (11.5f, good to firm) in June and Haydock (1m6f, good) in July; much higher in the weights than when twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) late last year, so will need to have improved generally. | ||
(6)  Pagan Sun | | | | | | 3 | Daniel Muscutt | S Woods | His two AW efforts have been better than his two on turf, including finishing third of 12 in a 1m4f novice here last month; steps up 2f for this handicap debut, but is bred to stay well and remains open to further progress; respected. | ||
4th (7)  Cock And Bull | | | | | | 3 | Adam Farragher | Michael Bell | Had been wonderfully consistent in turf/AW handicaps since returning in March including two wins over this trip at Sandown; blew the start here (1m4f) six days ago, so can be forgiven that and better can be expected if avoiding a repeat. | ||
1st (4)  Pappano | | | | | | 3 | Robert Havlin | John & Thady Gosden | Highly tried after winning a Wolverhampton novice (1m4f, Tapeta) in April and wasn't up to it, but he wasn't disgraced when fifth of 13 in a competitive handicap at Haydock (1m6f, good) last time; respected, especially if benefiting from the subsequent gelding operation. |
Story Horse looks the pick of the older horses provided his improvement is general on this return to the AW, but a couple of the 3yos make more appeal. There is probably more to come from Pagan Sun now stepping up in trip for his handicap debut, but preference is for PAPPANO who has faced some impossible tasks and now returns to the AW for the first time since winning a Wolverhampton novice in April. Attila The Honey and Cock And Bull can't be ignored either.[David Bellingham]

(10)  Missionary Ridge | | | | | | 2 | Duran Fentiman | Tim Easterby | Well held in three starts over 6f on turf (in a tongue-tie last time); improvement needed, but he is a brother to an AW winner and the extra furlong should suit on breeding. | ||
(5)  Sybaris Jewel | | | | | | 2 | Ben Robinson | Brian Ellison | Hasn't confirmed the promise of her debut third at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May and cheekpieces made little difference last time, but the longer trip should suit her on breeding; each-way shout. | ||
2nd (9)  Cable Rate | | | | | | 2 | Lewis Edmunds | William Muir & Chris Grassick | Has shown some ability as when third of seven on nursery debut in first-time blinkers at Carlisle (7f, good) in July, but he hasn't performed any better since; may be vulnerable to an improver. | ||
(1)  Theatrically | | | | | | 2 | Frederick Larson | Amy Murphy | Came closest to winning when beaten a length into second of seven at Lingfield (6f, soft) in July, but not so effective on fast ground there a fortnight later; ran with credit when fourth of eight at Kempton (5f, Polytrack) in April and one for the shortlist in new headgear combination. | ||
3rd (6)  Tutu Star | | | | | | 2 | Oisin Orr | Richard Fahey | Well held in three turf novices over 6f/7f, albeit she was sent off 3-1 favourite for her second outing; one of her siblings won on the AW and so did her dam, so she is one to consider on nursery debut. | ||
(7)  Harvesting | | | | | | 2 | Billy Garritty | Michael & David Easterby | Has shown ability in two of her four starts on turf, both over this trip; half-sister to two AW winners and worth keeping an eye on now making her nursery debut, especially if attracting support. | ||
1st (2)  Liberty Bird | | | | | | 2 | Billy Loughnane | Charlie Johnston | Beat three rivals in a Beverley maiden in June (7f, good to firm) and best effort since when second of nine at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last month (winner followed up at Sandown on Saturday); not hard to excuse her latest effort at Epsom and possibilities if bouncing back. | ||
(4)  Kensington Hope | | | | | | 2 | Daniel Muscutt | Kevin Philippart De Foy | Well held in first two starts over 5f on turf/Polytrack, but showed a bit more when fifth of eight at Goodwood (6f, good to soft; 100-1) 12 days ago; stepping up another furlong shouldn't be an issue on breeding and worth a second look on nursery debut. | ||
(3)  Abstract Art | | | | | | 2 | Jim Crowley | Ian Williams | Out of the frame in three starts over 6f/7f on turf for George Boughey; gelded since and now makes his handicap/AW debut for his new yard; market useful. | ||
4th (8)  Miakoda | | | | | | 2 | Pat Dobbs | Richard Hannon | Was very much best of the rest behind two previous winners in a Newmarket novice (6f, good to soft; 25-1) 11 days ago, but he shaped as though the return to this trip would suit; sire 9-25 (36%) on the Tapeta here and he's respected now switched to a nursery. |
This looks tricky, with a few of these open to progress now making their nursery and/or AW debuts. Kensington Hope, Tutu Star and Harvesting are but three who fall into that category, but the vote goes to MIAKODA (nap) who faced a stiff task when a well-held third in a Newmarket novice last time. His sire has a fine record here and the return to this trip should suit.[David Bellingham]

(1)  Muddy Mooy | | | | | | 3 | Joshua Bryan | Paul Attwater | 15-2 when winning her only start for Barry Brennan at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) in January (runner-up 2-4 since); concerning that she hasn't been seen since and the market should be revealing on return for new trainer (same owner). | ||
2nd (5)  Melon Twist | | | | | | 3 | P J McDonald | K R Burke | Improved from May's Ayr debut when beaten 2l into fourth of nine at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) in July; half-sister to an AW winner and cannot be dismissed easily. | ||
(6)  Zip It Up | | | | | | 3 | Pat Dobbs | Richard Hannon | Half-sister to 1m2f AW winner Angel Of Peace (RPR 66); dam 1m-1m1f winner (including US Grade 3; 108), half-sister to Australian 1m5f Group 2 winner Surefire, out of 1m6f Listed winning close relative of Oaks winner Reams Of Verse; nice pedigree but this looks a tough starting point; tongue-tied for debut. | ||
4th (4)  Jiwin | | | | | | 3 | Robert Havlin | John & Thady Gosden | Finished second of 12 on her Yarmouth debut (5f, good to firm) in May last year, but only fifth of ten at Doncaster (6.5f, good) the following month, albeit the form of that race worked out wonderfully well; out of a 7f AW winner and the market should be informative on this return from 459 days off. | ||
3rd (2)  The Eyes Have It | | | | | | 3 | Adam Farragher | William Haggas | Defied market weakness when winning by 6l on her Yarmouth debut (7f, good) in July and finished second of nine under her penalty at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) three weeks ago (lost a shoe); unlikely to be far away. | ||
1st (3)  Al Khawssaa | | | | | | 3 | James Doyle | Roger Varian | 4-1 when third of nine on her Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack) three weeks ago, finishing half a length behind The Eyes Have It; met trouble there so did well to finish where she did, and while her old rival also had an excuse she must have a good chance of reversing the form with the run under her belt. |
Just half a length separated The Eyes Have It (lost a shoe) and AL KHAWSSAA (met trouble) when they finished second and third respectively at Kempton three weeks ago. With the run under her belt the latter is taken to reverse the form. The market should indicate what is expected from the returning pair Muddy Mooy and Jiwin.[David Bellingham]

(12)  Exceed Now | | | | | | 3 | P J McDonald | Mark Walford | Early promise for Roger Varian (5f-6f) but has regressed and was well held on stable/handicap debut at Doncaster (5f, good) in July; down 4lb but still makes little appeal. | ||
(6)  Bellagio Man | | | | | | 6 | Ben Robinson | Antony Brittain | All three AW wins have come over 6f on Tapeta including one here; 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle just under a year ago, but he needs to improve on recent efforts and the outside stall is not helpful. | ||
(10)  He's An Angel | | | | | | 4 | Oisin Orr | Tjade Collier | Rattled off a four-timer on the AW for Peter Niven early in the year including a win over C&D, but he hasn't beaten many in four starts on turf since returning for this yard in July; drawn wide and best watched for now. | ||
(11)  Biographer | | | | | | 3 | Billy Garritty | Michael & David Easterby | Landed a Lingfield novice (6f, Polytrack) on his final start for Andrew Balding in January, but out of the frame in five handicaps since returning for this yard in May; another 2lb drop not enough to tempt. | ||
| (5) Dapperling | | | | | | 3 | Pat Dobbs | Richard Hannon | Lingfield turf novice winner (5f, good to firm) in July last year and finished runner-up in the Super Sprint next time, but has been a bit in and out since then; latest Bath effort was modest and she needs to bounce back from that. | ||
(4)  Dark Kestrel | | | | | | 4 | Cam Hardie | Antony Brittain | Ended a 12-race losing run at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) in May; no problem with 6f and has won fresh before so the 102-day absence shouldn't be a major issue, but a few of the others still look more compelling. | ||
(7)  Blackjack | | | | | | 7 | Dale Swift | Alan Brown | Three-time C&D winner, the latest early last month; usually races handily but he missed the break when sixth of ten back here nine days ago; capable of making an impact if getting away on terms this time. | ||
(1)  Above | | | | | | 7 | Daniel Muscutt | Robert Cowell | His second of five at Newmarket (5f, soft) 11 days ago was franked when the winner followed up at Sandown on Saturday, but he has only won two of his last 39 starts; may find one or two too good again. | ||
4th (8)  Shalaa Asker | | | | | | 6 | Oisin McSweeney | Adrian Paul Keatley | Dual C&D winner who ran better having dropped in the weights when beaten around 3l into third of nine behind Blazing Son here nine days ago; now 5lb better off and one for the shortlist if building on that. | ||
3rd (3)  Whenthedealinsdone | | | | | | 6 | Billy Loughnane | Roger Teal | Losing run up to 18, but he has mainly been running consistently well in defeat since the spring and is 2lb lower than when beaten a neck over C&D in April; claims if bouncing back to that sort of form. | ||
2nd (2)  Blazing Son | | | | | | 6 | Andrew Breslin | Bryan Smart | Handy sort who returned to winning form at Carlisle (7f, good) in June and made it 2-3 over C&D when making all here nine days ago; respected under his 5lb penalty, especially if allowed his own way again. | ||
1st (9)  Stanley Spencer | | | | | | 3 | Rossa Ryan | James Tate | Made it sixth-time lucky at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) in July and has run well to make the frame off this mark in both outings since; frame material. |
If breaking better than he did here nine days ago triple C&D winner Blackjack should be right there, but BLAZING SON, who made all in the other division of the same race, must have a good chance of following up under his penalty, especially if able to dominate again. Third-home Shalaa Asker should finish closer to the selection on 5lb better terms, while Whenthedealinsdone is another to consider.[David Bellingham]
