Age: 3

Or: 89

Camelot colt who got back on the up when successful in 1¼m handicap at Ascot in July. Hampered last 1f when a good third of 4 at Newbury (1¼m, good to firm) following month. Interesting contender back up in trip on his tapeta debut.

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 9lbs
Or: 76

Lightly-raced sort who took a big step forward on just his second handicap when landing 12-runner event over C&D last month on final run for Pam Sly. Up 4 lb but not taken lightly for his new yard.

Urchin

J: Sam James

F: 3-12

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: 85

Wide-margin winner of 11f novice at Ripon on return. Looked a hard ride (hung badly left early) when an odds-on second of 3 in novice at Beverley (1½m, good to firm) in May. Remains with potential after a layoff on his handicap debut for good yard.

Tryfan

J: Hector Crouch
T: Harry Charlton
F: 13-920715

Age: 5
Weight: 9st 9lbs
Or: 83

Addition of first-time cheekpieces saw him notch a fourth career victory at Ascot in July. Found little when last of 5 in retained headgear at Newbury (1½m, good to firm) since though. This course winner needs to bounce back.

Age: 7
Weight: 9st 11lbs

Won at Wolverhampton (1½m) in February. Bounced back to form when second at Chester (1¼m) but ridden too aggressively when fifth of 7 there (1¼m) later in July. Possibilities.

The Green Mile (Ire)

J: Charles Bishop
T: Neil Mulholland
F: 37/5-01317

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 13lbs
Or: 87

Landed handicaps at Chepstow (1¼m) and Kempton (11f) in early summer. Not discredited with seventh of 12 back at Kempton (1½m) last time given he wasn't ideally placed. Much respected on his tapeta debut.

Timeform Verdict

GOLDEN KNIGHT didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Newbury last time and with this return to a longer trip also a positive he looks the way to go in this competitive handicap. C&D scorer Cliff Danger can also go well on his first run for Tom Ellis, while the returning duo Solarize and Urchin remain with potential and could play a part too.

Betting Forecast

7/1 Golden Knight (Ire), 11/2 Cliff Danger, 20/1 Fierce Fortitude, 11/2 Urchin, 11/1 Tryfan, 7/1 Solarize, 7/1 Topteam (Ire), 8/1 Assail (Ire), 14/1 Nolton Cross (Ire), 18/1 The Green Mile (Ire)
