Comment: Fair form in three novice/maiden events over 7f/1m, best effort on second start (AW); gelded since latest; needs improvement on this handicap debut but he is bred more for this trip.

4/1

Comment: Hard to settle and has worn a hood for last four outings; raised his game, though, with the move up to 1m2f for last three starts, coming from off the pace, including for a clearcut win here (good; unraced on softer) on penultimate occasion; 6lb higher this time but he's in calculations.

4/1

Comment: Ended his 2yo campaign with a 1m2f nursery win on soft; rather mixed this term but winning by nearly 3l at Epsom (1m2f, good) three weeks ago was a career best, sticking to his task very well up the near rail; back up 4lb but a serious player if that latest form is reproduced.

Comment: Has not progressed on turf (0-9; unraced on softer than good); however, seen mostly at about 7f and he raised his game to win at Wolverhampton (AW) 12 days ago when trying 9.4f; back up 3lb but perhaps this further step up in trip will help.

15/2

Comment: Made debut in May and fair form for minor honours on all six starts, best when third of eight in handicap over C&D (good to firm) on latest; hooded first time that day and came home well from last place, beaten less than 1l, so there's hope he can build on that.

Comment: Fair form at Newbury (1m, good) in April on debut but soundly beaten both starts since, 20-1 at Sandown last time when trying 1m2f (there are stamina influences in his pedigree); unconvincing for this handicap debut but it's a bit too early for the debut run to be forgotten.

Comment: Three turf wins (1m2f-1m4f) as progressive 3yo; no joy this term and he's been inconsistent, one of the better efforts when a close second from the front under Fred Daly in small field; AW might be blamed for latest start but connections also now switch from cheekpieces to blinkers.

Comment: Sole win was in a small field last August (1m2f, heavy); prominent in betting when switched from cheekpieces to blinkers for last two starts, running respectably on first occasion but meeting traffic problems on latest; off 11 weeks; form case can be made but others have more pressing claims.

Comment: Opened his account at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft) in July and beaten a nose at Sandown (1m2f, soft) 16 days ago; checked at a crucial point in the latter and 3lb rise probably underestimates him; major player.

Comment: 3yo whose last four races have yielded two wins and two seconds, all when held up and he seems effective at 1m2f and 1m4f; the first two of those races were on turf (good to soft/good) and the last two on AW, winning by a head with strong finish in a Racing League race at Southwell last time; raised another 5lb but needs plenty of respect.

Comment: Confined to good or quicker ground since finishing second on good to soft on last season's debut; easily a career best when winning by 2l at Newbury in April (7f; 6lb lower) and had another lengthy break prior to finishing a respectable fifth at Goodwood; arrives here a fresh horse and wouldn't be exposed just yet.

Jockey: Callum Rodriguez Trainer: E Smyth-Osbourne Age/Wt: 3/8-13 F: 7-1124 OR: 89

17/2

Comment: Nursery winner at two but a sharp improver this season with two wins including one over C&D; needed a stronger pace when his hat-trick bid came up shy and the drop back to 6f found him when tried in cheekpieces (now removed) at the Shergar Cup; remains of interest off this sort of mark.

Comment: Debut winner last year and has gradually found his form this campaign, doubling his tally when trying 7f for the first time at Newbury (good; unraced on slower); that was no more than workmanlike and he's 4lb higher in a deeper race.

Comment: Won twice last season; reappearance was encouraging, then ran at Royal Ascot before finding trouble in running when close up at Chester; easy to forgive last time as well given that was his AW debut and he finished lame; has a bit to prove over this far as peak form is at shorter, but responded well to cheekpieces when tried once last season and he could be a big price.

Jockey: S De Sousa Trainer: R Varian Age/Wt: 5/9-2 F: 7-67878 OR: 95

20/1

Comment: He's not easy to fancy on this year's form but is well handicapped on last October's third in a Group 3 at Ascot (6f, soft) and significant rain would be a major boost to his claims.

Comment: He's failed to threaten on his last two starts and needs to get back on track but he's won on both previous visits to Doncaster, in this race last year (soft) and over 5f this June (good); a visor returns (has won in it; replaces cheekpieces); has to be in calculations in view of his record here.

25/1

Comment: Inconsistent 6yo who hasn't gone beyond a bare 6f for a long time and finished down the field at York in July when last seen; however, he won at Pontefract (6f, good) earlier that month and has shown some strong form here in the past (including a soft-ground win); could go well.

Ten Pounds

Jockey: Callum Rodriguez Trainer: Harry Charlton Age/Wt: 4/9-11 F: 7-1034 OR: 104

Comment: Four-time 7f winner who was a close third of 28 in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) when wearing a first-time tongue-tie; fourth in the Bunbury Cup since (7f, good to firm); he could still have more to offer and is a possible player if conditions suit (unproven on slow ground).

Aalto

Jockey: J P Spencer Trainer: Ian Williams Age/Wt: 5/9-1 F: 0-9207 OR: 94

Comment: He has an in-and-out profile and has never raced over a trip this short, but he was a clear second behind a well-handicapped winner in the Bunbury Cup in July (7f, good to firm) and ran pretty well when seventh of 17 at York (1m, good to firm) last time; also effective on good to soft; not ruled out.

Comment: Progressive filly who made it three wins for the year (1m/7f) when prevailing in a big field at York (7f, good to firm) last month; she hit the front over 1f out at York and a 5lb rise may not prevent her playing another leading role, provided the ground suits (unproven on a slow surface).

Comment: All three wins at 7f but has form over this far; 2-3 for current yard and 2-2 in the tongue-tie, winning low-grade handicaps here (good to soft) and at Newcastle (AW); has been going from the front and should make a bold bid.

Comment: Runner-up in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile in October 2023 (1m, soft); missed all of 2024 and has worked her way back to form this season, winning a Listed race at Longchamp (1m, very soft) a fortnight ago; rain would boost her claims (although she has run well on good/good to firm); on the shortlist.

Comment: First past the post in the Group 3 Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood last July (7f, good to firm; demoted due to interference); not quite at her best when fifth in that same race last time but she raced freely; has shown promise on good to soft ground; possible player if settling better than last time.

Comment: Won a 7f maiden for the Gosdens and a 6f novice here (good to firm) by 4l on debut for current yard; faced a tough task on handicap debut at York but was easy to back (18-1) and trailed in nearly last; drops back to 5f for the first time with a tongue-tie added.

14/1

Comment: Slowly away on his last two starts, which is a concern; however, in the circumstances he did well to finish fourth at sharp Chester (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and this 3yo won three in a row earlier in the summer (5f/6f, including on good to soft); he's one to consider.

Jockey: A Mullen Trainer: T P Tate Age/Wt: 9/8-7 F: 337880 OR: 56

18/1

Comment: Third of 19 at York in July and he's in the picture on that form, even from out of the handicap; however, this 9yo has finished no better than seventh across his last four outings and needs to raise his game.

Jojo Rabbit

Jockey: J P Sullivan Trainer: Mrs R Carr Age/Wt: 7/9-4 F: 692197 OR: 70

40/1

Comment: Soft-ground winner here who made it two wins for the year when scoring at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in July; not written off but he's finished down the field on his last two starts and has to bounce back.

40/1

Comment: Well beaten at Pontefract last time and it's hard to be confident on the back of that; however, this 3yo won over C&D (good to firm) in June on his sole run here and is worth a second look; not ruled out each-way.

50/1

Comment: Won 2yo maiden at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last September and she's dropping down the weights; however, she's struggled on both runs this season and a major turnaround is required in first-time cheekpieces.

Comment: Has run seven times this year and has finished no better than sixth; 13lb out of the handicap today and he would be a shock winner.

Jockey: Jack Nicholls Trainer: Adrian Nicholls Age/Wt: 6/9-13 F: 531106 OR: 79

Comment: Course winner who has won four times this year; not ruled out but those 2025 victories came in small fields and she needs to produce more than she's managed on her last two starts.

Bona Fortuna

Jockey: L Morris Trainer: M Appleby Age/Wt: 4/9-11 F: 5-53222 OR: 77

Comment: Won two in a row last summer (6f/7f, good to firm) and he's finished second on his last three starts (5f/6f, good to firm/good), including in a big field; promise on soft ground on debut in 2023; in the mix once more.

1 tip

Comment: Consistent 3yo who won at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) in July and finished close up on her next two outings (5f, good/good to firm); major player if returning from a 47-day break at the top of her game.

Winchurch

Jockey: Tom Marquand Trainer: M Appleby Age/Wt: 3/9-8 F: 551076 OR: 75

Comment: Won at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June on his first run since being gelded but subsequent efforts have been mixed and he was only sixth of ten at Beverley (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago.
