B Miss K. Rausing TIMEFORM VIEW Dual winner for Richard Hannon in 2015 but seen almost exclusively over jumps in recent years. Did win a Perth hurdle last month but will need useful effort to defy a mark in mid-80s back on Flat. TFRHHIII BHA84 2 SOVEREIGN DUKE (GER) (53) 50/420/-0 6 9-9 (12)

Oisin Murphy J Hughie Morrison, East Ilsley T B Meon Valley Stud Bridgend Hotel, Ark Build PLC S TIMEFORM VIEW Pair of 1 1/2m Brighton wins this year, the latter under Oisin Murphy 17 days ago. That form received a boost when the second won next time so 3lb rise doesn’t look severe. TFRHHHHI BHA79 4 CORMIER (IRE) (29) 212-116

Silvestre De Sousa J Brian Ellison, Malton T B Grangecon Stud Brian Ellison Racing Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Likeable dual-purpose performer who has won over 1 1/2m at Pontefract and York this summer. Too free when last of 6 at Newcastle latest but not the type to stay down for long. TFRHHHII BHA79 5 CAPTAIN HADDOCK (IRE) (19) 5-20013 4 9-4 (8)

Charles Bishop J Eve Johnson Houghton, Blewbury T B Aston House Stud ABM Catering Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Creditable fourth of 10 in 1 3/4m handicap here in June. Stamina stretched when upped to 2m on AW last time and better can be expected back over shorter. TFRHHHII BHA77
B Stiftung Gestut Fahrhof TIMEFORM VIEW Runner-up twice in maidens before improving again to make a winning start in handicaps at Leicester (1 1/2m, good) 14 days ago. Up only 3lb and major surprise if he’s reached his limit after 4 starts. TFRHHHHH BHA85 10 GLEN AGAIN (IRE) (25) 412430

Mark Johnston, Middleham T B Knockainey Stud Johnston Racing Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Dual winner this year and had been holding his form well until a forgivable blip at Glorious Goodwood last month. Good chance he can bounce straight back with sights lowered. TFRHHHHI BHA85 11 HARMONIOUS (GB) (92) 22-0200 4 9-0 (1)

Alan King, Barbury Castle T B M. Phelan Goffs UK Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Opened his account down in grade in 1 3/4m Nottingham handicap. Second at Haydock next time and perhaps unsuited by softer ground back there since. Buick a positive booking on return from break. TFRHHHII BHA82 13 YAGOOD (IRE) (12) 511212 D BF

Tom Marquand J Joseph Parr, Newmarket T B Shadwell Estate Company Limited Tote S TIMEFORM VIEW Gained a fourth win of a very productive year when seeing off 6 rivals at Nottingham (2m) last month.

PLAY SMARTER
The obvious one here is PRAIANO who should have more to offer on the back of his Leicester handicap debut success and can make light of a 3lb rise with the step up to 1 3/4m promising to suit. Vis A Vis shaped as if retaining ability on his reappearance and is very well treated on his form of a couple of years back so he’s feared most ahead of Ravens Ark and Glen Again.
