Back in fine form since refitted with blinkers, winning over C&D (under Billy Loughnane) and Bath before a very good third of 8 at Brighton (6f) last time. Big shout off the same mark (in a headgear change) with Loughnane back up.

Twenty-one runs since his last win in 2024 but comes here in good nick, fourth of 11 in handicap over C&D 25 days ago. In the picture off a slipping mark.

Scored at Leicester (5f) on stable debut last summer. However, ended the season out of form and little encouragement thus far this time around.

Good second in 5f maiden at Dundalk in December but well below that form in a trio of handicaps this summer for Daniel McLoughlin. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence on tapeta debut.

Low-mileage 4-y-o. Back on song with third of 11 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) 30 days ago. Makes tapeta debut in a refitted hood and can't be dismissed.

A 7-time C&D winner. Off since coming in only eighth of 9 in 6f handicap here 6 months ago. Enters calculations if fully tuned up for his comeback run.

Not proving easy to catch right and only fifth of 6 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, good to firm) in June. Lots more is needed if she's to gain a first success here.

Timeform Verdict

MACANUDO gets a confident vote to quickly resume winning ways with Billy Loughnane back in the saddle for the first time since going in over C&D. Cabeza De Llave is on a long losing sequence but arrives in good nick and rates next best ahead of low-mileage The Bear Of Saints and course specialist Gustav Graves.

Betting Forecast

10/3 Macanudo (Ire), 9/2 Cabeza De Llave, 14/1 Our Planet (Ire), 6/1 Kiss Don't Tell, 11/2 The Bear Of Saints (Fr), 10/1 La Belle Forest (Ire), 14/1 Gustav Graves, 25/1 In Denial, 100/1 Lochaber
