Simon Walker has long been a go-to jockey in these amateur contests and he has a big chance on board STENMARK, a winner at Southwell over this distance in August and second off 4lb higher at Epsom since. He does need a career best off his new mark, but still looks likely to have a big say. Racingbreaks Ryder drops two classes and is beginning to look well handicapped once more. He might prove a bigger danger than the hat-trick seeking Cancan In The Rain.

2024: (7 ran) Hutchence ( 6 ) , Age 3 , Wgt 9-6 , SP 5/2 - Rossa Ryan / R M Beckett

Forecast: 9/4 Novelista , 5/2 Double Meaning , 4/1 Calvert , 10/1 Blazeon Five , 10/1 Dashing Panther , 12/1 Enemy , 12/1 Good Show , 20/1 Francesco Baracca (Note: non-runners may affect prices)

Last Updated: 06 Oct 2025 15:36:36

Blazeon Five is the sole C&D winner in the line-up and she could go well after signs of a return to form when fourth here in July off 2lb higher. Dashing Panther returns after 10 months off following comfortable victories at Chelmsford to round off 2024. He is one to watch, but DOUBLE MEANING could be the one. Lightly raced, he has won his last two races by 10 lengths and five lengths and might have even more to offer.

Top Tip: Double Meaning (8)
Watch out for: Blazeon Five (3)

Godolphin hold a strong hand with three of the runners, presumably headed by RACE TO THE STARS, a once-raced son of Sea The Stars who won at Southwell last month and is the mount of William Buick. He is fancied to take a step forward to get the better of stablemate Aegean Prince, who has been gelded since his Kempton victory last December. Military Cross was only beaten a head on debut and gets 6lb from his chief rivals as a maiden.

PUSH THE LIMIT was a good second in a heritage handicap over 1m4f here and stepping up in trip could draw further improvement from this low-mileage colt. Similar comments apply to Arabian Force, whose close-up third in the Great Voltigeur at York is a solid yardstick that puts him firmly in the picture. Many Men had Fantasy World three places behind when he filled the runner-up berth in the Melrose at the same venue and he also rates a key player.

Last Updated: 06 Oct 2025 15:36:44

ARAMRAM has been generally consistent all season and that reliability earns him the vote. His seventh-placed finish in the Ayr Gold Cup can be upgraded given he lost a shoe as that race unfolded and conditions could be much more to his liking here. Trefor and the hat-trick seeking Brosay also boasts solid credentials, while Zoulu Chief has held his form well since being gelded and is another to monitor closely in the betting now he drops back in trip.

Top Tip: Aramram (3)
Watch out for: Trefor (2)

GRIZEDALE has shown stacks of promise in his three previous runs and is an appealing contender for a race of this nature. A winner over a mile at Kempton, the son of Zoustar was then narrowly denied under a penalty in a novice event over 7f at the same course. Back up in trip, he can make a big impact here. Wujjood and Crack On Boys have solid claims based on their official ratings, while the dependable Gloriously Sassy also commands respect.

Top Tip: Grizedale (8)
Watch out for: Wujjood (12)
