THE TIMEFORM VIEW Unlike her chief form rivals, INKBERROW retains the scope to rate higher and following a smooth success at Wolverhampton, she can successfully concede weight all round. Black Orchid may well extend her sequence of runner-up efforts to 6, with Poor Relation likely to be sticking to her task.

Restricted to just 5 starts but promise in that time at up to this trip (1 1/4 lengths third to Parisian Scholar at Thirsk) and having transferred to James Owen, he looks very interesting with cheekpieces fitted (has also been gelded).

THE TIMEFORM VIEW There’s an air of unfinished business around TEMPLE in handicaps and with James Owen likely to bring out the best in him, he looks a very appealing candidate in first-time headgear. This is a pretty deep contest, though, with Be Patient and Parisian Scholar likely to be bang there.
TIMEFORM VIEW Completed a double in similar company at Newmarket in July. Trio of placed efforts confirm he remains in excellent order so no reason why he won’t give it another good go. TFR BHA80

THE TIMEFORM VIEW Having dropped to a very handy mark, BALDOMERO came up agonisingly short at York last week and that performance strongly suggests that he’s ready to cash in. Rosenpur has a handy draw to exploit and that makes him dangerous, with Tyger Bay and Woodstock also of interest.
TIMEFORM VIEW Ground-versatile type but has gone off the boil since winning from 2lb higher at Ayr in July. Eases in class but easy to have doubts at present. TFR BHA77

THE TIMEFORM VIEW LEXINGTON BLITZ is likely in much better heart than recent form figures might suggest and he’s taken to follow up his success in this corresponding event 12 months ago. Baker Blue looks interesting back in a handicap from a handy draw and could be the main threat. Spartan Arrow also appeals off a much-reduced mark, in what looks a wide-open renewal.

TIMEFORM VIEW Quirky sort who notched a quick-fire double in September last year. In another change of headgear when 10 1/4 lengths fourth at Haydock (soft) 3 weeks ago. Return to less-testing conditions may benefit one who isn’t the heartiest under pressure. Warrants a second look on a rare start in a 0-70. TFR BHA70

TIMEFORM VIEW Well below his fairly useful best in a trio of all-weather starts for present yard. Has at least found some form in 2m handicap hurdles around Uttoxeter in recent months, the tongue strap he’s been wearing in that sphere retained for this return to the Flat. TFR BHA69

TIMEFORM VIEW Winner over this trip at Redcar in June. Remained in good nick before failing to fire on all-weather at Southwell last time. Return to turf/addition of first-time cheekpieces TFR BHA54 offers some hope of a bounce back.
TIMEFORM VIEW C&D winner whose last success came at Haydock (2m) over 2 years ago. Arrives in a good run of form, though, finding one too good for the third time in 4 starts when chasing home a course specialist at Chester (1 1/2m) last time.

TIMEFORM VIEW Veteran who’s won 4 times over C&D, including 2020 and 2025 renewals of this race. Turned in another modest display when beaten 5 1/2 lengths at Musselburgh (1 3/4m, good) latest, however, he isn’t taken lightly given his record here. TFR BHA56

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair stayer on his day. Heavy-ground success at Beverley (2m) in August a standout effort of an underwhelming season to date. Only 1lb higher if he can put his best foot forward. TFR BHA68
TIMEFORM VIEW Low-mileage filly. Hit the frame in 3-y-o handicaps at Thirsk/ Catterick in May. Arrives on the back of her worst 2 runs to date, latterly on all-weather at Newcastle in late-August. TFR BHA50

TIMEFORM VIEW Forward-going type with a good attitude. Progressed again when only narrowly denied a hat-trick at Ffos Las (1 3/4m, soft) last month (third has won since). Easy to forgive subsequent effort at Southwell and solid claims to resume winning ways under a talented apprentice. TFR BHA68

THE TIMEFORM VIEW GENTLE WARRIOR has been running in much better company of late and while not the most straightforward, he could be worth a chance dropped into this sort of grade. There are no such attitude concerns for Captain Cairney, who has solid claims to add to his tally, with Wasthatok still on a potentially handy mark for his Flat return.
TIMEFORM VIEW Fair winning hurdler who still looks on a handy mark in this sphere. Belatedly opened his account on the Flat when scoring comfortably at Wolverhampton in March. Undone by a very slow start when 4 3/4-length fourth over 2m here in May. Interesting if ready to roll following 6 months away. TFR BHA61
