13:30 Feud

FEUD won over same course and distance (C&D) in July on third handicap start and solid efforts at Catterick and Newbury the next twice; every chance he’ll be thereabouts.

14:00 Lunar Shine

A good novice. Lady Pagasa (second choice) should really confirm Newmarket placings with Dream Whisper when the latter has 7l to find, but don’t rule out the penalised pair of Raqiya and LUNAR SHINE. The latter looked really good at Thirsk and she never gave herself a chance by pulling too hard in the Group 3 Princess Margaret at Ascot. This expensive yearling deserves another chance. Some likeable newcomers for whom market vibes are awaited with interest only add to the contest.

 

14:35 Soul Seeker

Last year’s runner-up SOUL SEEKER has won two competitive handicaps in recent months and is the selection ahead of Muker, who also had a productive summer. Bayraat is third choice, while Never Dark and Level Up also arrive in good form.

15:10 Simple Endeavour

Andrew Balding’s two year olds have been running well of late and 800,000gns yearling SIMPLE ENDEAVOUR is taken to make a winning debut. There are other eyecatching newcomers, however, with Godolphin’s Dazzling Jewel feared most ahead of Bolsena and Eranthis.

15:45 Diamondonthehill (NAP)

The Michael Dods-trained DIAMONDONTHEHILL (NAP) has been better than ever this season and, with the drop back to 7f a possible positive, he is the selection ahead of his 3yo stablemate Prairie Falcon, who sports first-time cheekpieces. Persuasion and Canoodled won in good style last time out and are also respected.

 

16:20 Fools And Horses

Red Maids is not well-in with a penalty but should still threaten if repeating the form of her clearcut win at Yarmouth. FOOLS AND HORSES is another likely contender with her mildly progressive profile, while Hoof It Hoof It ran her best race for a while last time.

16:55 Alshadhian

Ralph Beckett’s ALSHADHIAN failed to justify favouritism on his 1m4f AW handicap debut but might be worth another chance now stepping up in trip back on turf. Fellow 3yo Double Oban may provide the chief threat ahead of Can Can Girl.
