Verdict

A case can be made for lots of these but the vote goes to ARUNDEL who resumed from an absence with an encouraging Yarmouth third and can race off the same mark here with Billy Loughnane now in the saddle. Sansanetti heads the list of dangers on the back of a good Wolverhampton fourth, while Ghost Story, Kurios Lady and Ricardo Phillips can all have a say too.

2	A fair 1¼m winner in 2025. Returned from nearly a year-long absence with an encouraging third at Yarmouth (1¼m, good) 24 days ago, clear of rest. Big shout from the same mark with Billy Loughnane now up. 1st Pick 2 Arundel (Ire) Jockey: Billy Loughnane Trainer: Ed Dunlop J: Billy Loughnane T: Ed Dunlop	100	-	-	-	12%	8/1

6	Looked better than ever when off the mark for the season at Lingfield (1¼m, all-weather) in August. Followed it with a very good fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) 22 days ago, conceding first run. A likely player from an unchanged mark. 2nd Pick 6 Sansanetti (Ire) Jockey: Pat Cosgrave Trainer: Stuart Williams J: Pat Cosgrave T: Stuart Williams	95	-	-	-	13%	7/1

5	Yet to score this season but holding her form well, not seen to ideal effect when fourth of 5 in handicap at Chepstow (1¼m, soft) 23 days ago. Merits consideration once more. 3rd Pick 5 Ghost Story (Ire) Jockey: David Egan Trainer: John Butler J: David Egan T: John Butler	99	-	-	-	9%	11/1
