|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 98X200 | Rush | 1 | Ft | Carter Dalgety(J) | Didn't get favours at Oam & had to work hard Friday. Stretched in this line-up. | |
| 2 | 1485X0 | Nellie Doyle | 2 | Ft | Jim Curtin | Got it wrong in a fresh state at Oam. This looks a tough assignment for her. | |
| 3 | 100X30 | Kawhi | 3 | Ft | Robbie Close | Unable to replicate her first-up run at Add but did work. Yet to figure on grass | |
| 4 | 100X1D | Confessional | 4 | Ft | Bob Butt | Broke seeking space at Add following winning resumption. A-game would go close. | |
| 5 | 473062 | Paige | 5 | Ft | Sheree Tomlinson | Bold at odds just being pipped at Oam but this is a bit step up. Needing favours | |
| 6 | 551751 | I Dream Of Jeannie | 6 | Ft | John Dunn | Showed plenty of dash to score last week. A repeat of that puts her in the frame | |
| 7 | 141676 | Paris Prince | 7 | Ft | Sam Thornley(J) | Solid enough since his latest win so consider for the thin end of first 4s today | |
| 8 | X57393 | Cody Banner | 8 | Ft | Matthew Williamson | Beaten fave at Oam after having his chance in front. Hard to see featuring here. | |
| 9 | 44X848 | Mad Jack | 9 | Ft | Paul Nairn | Tired after leading Fri. First look at the grass today; consider if off ballot. | |
| 10 | 109X99 | Helloveamoment | U1 | Ft | Samantha Ottley | No dash so far this time in but still gathering fitness and loves grass. Combos. | |
| 11 | 784988 | Rachmaninov | U2 | Ft | |||
| 12 | 179050 | Jimmy Carter | U3 | Ft | John Morrison | Early break at Add put paid to chances. Thin record on grass and happy risking. | |
| 13 | X70691 | Dreams Pat | U4 | Ft | Robbie Holmes | Impressive Oam victory with inspired support. First attempt on grass; first 4s. | |
| 14 | 45X465 | Maui | U5 | Ft | Lawrence McCormick | Tidy since resuming and 6-time winner on the grass. Consider for your exotics. | |
| 15 | 0111X0 | Eurostyle | 1 | 10 | |||
| 16 | 337313 | Hidden Talent | 2 | 10 | Nathan Williamson | Nice effort off back mark at Oam and looking to remain unbeaten on grass. E/W. | |
| 17 | 322X03 | Mr Love | 3 | 10 | Ben Hope | Useful 2nd up showing at Add, 5 Sept. Winner in only other attempt here. Danger. | |
| 18 | 2387X8 | Mystic Max | 4 | 10 | Blair Orange | Sure to be improved on his first-up run but unplaced on grass and up against it. | |
| 19 | 2730X7 | One Over All | 1 | 20 | Gavin Smith | Lightly tried on grass and couldn't stick in Add resumption. Will require luck. | |
| 20 | 127631 | Oscar Bonavena | 1 | 30 | Mark Purdon | Absolute champion with impeccable grass stats. Looks the one despite handicap. | |
