10st 4lb

J: Seamus Cronin

T: Richard Hannon

Two wins in July (1m, good to firm) triggered a sharp rise in the weights and his new mark is looking troublesome; the return of Seamus Cronin's claim will at least help in that respect.

In-form 4yo who won at Ascot and Pontefract (both 1m, good to firm) in July; another creditable effort when third (Jungle Ruler second) at Sandown (1m, good to firm again) 17 days ago; ought to be competitive again.

Lightly raced 4yo who has been running well in UAE this year, going close in big-field handicap in February (1m, good) then third of ten last month (1m, dirt); major player if continuing the good work back in Britain.

J: Harry Davies

T: Simon & Ed Crisford

Comfortable winner of a Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) last December, but had a nightmare passage on handicap/turf debut at York (7f, good to firm) in May; returns from 166 days off having been gelded; worth a second look.

J: Jack Nicholls

T: Iain Jardine

Ran well in defeat on first four starts this season then held on gamely to win 18-runner York handicap (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; effectively 4lb higher here if Jack Nicholls' reduced claim is considered but ought to be right in the thick of things again.

Prominent racer who has been running well in defeat over 6f this season, including here; his last win came over 7f at Musselburgh last April and he could be in the mix back up in trip.

Made a winning start for this yard at Pontefract (6f) in April and has continued to run well; not seen to ideal effect when fourth of nine back there (6f) 12 days ago; very much one to consider.

J: Pierre-Louis Jamin

T: Harry Eustace

100,000gns foal; well held in his first two starts but he really got his act together with a comfortable win in a Brighton (6f, good to firm) last month; opening mark is no gift but he has a useful pedigree and could have a lot more to offer in handicaps; key player.

J: William Carver

T: Jamie Osborne

Defied a penalty to win Tapeta novice (7f) in September and it was a career best when landing Lingfield event (7f, Polytrack) last Tuesday; carries a 6lb penalty but that was just his second handicap and further progress could be on the cards; player.

J: Shay Farmer

T: Seb Spencer

Bought for 50,000gns soon after winning a 6f Curragh maiden in first-time cheekpieces (eighth start); proven over 1m, let alone this far, and could be interesting on yard/handicap debut.

Suspicious Mindz

9st 8lb

J: Jessica O’Gorman

T: Mrs John Harrington

Best run was when third to a pair of solid stakes-level performers in a Listed contest last year; placed in 1m maidens this year, looked awkward under pressure when odds-on at Leopardstown; not one of his better efforts last time; 6f might be inadequate, but still of some interest, with cheekpieces and a 7lb claimer.
