The Doorman24
Age: 16|  Weight: 11-12| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam
16/1
Largely disappointing over the past year and difficult to recommend despite a career low mark.
2
Horse silk
9/2
All out to win a weak looking race here. Back over hurdles and off a higher mark he has it all to do.
May improve for the softer ground having failed to make an impact this season. One to note in the market.

Little Bruce7
Age: 13|  Weight: 11-9| J: A Nicol| T: P A Kirby
7/4
Showed improved form with the step up in trip. Won with a fair amount in hand and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop him.
5
Horse silk
25/1
Winner off this mark two years ago. Has failed to score since but is the Gloucestershire yard's only runner on the card. Off the course since July but the trainer's horses have been going well without actually winning.
6
Horse silk
14/1
Difficult to fancy despite the handicapper giving her a chance following two remote finishes this season.
Has not jumped well so far and was soon in trouble on his handicap debut last month.
Last win came on this card two years ago. Has struggled since and hard to fancy despite his plunging handicap mark.
Winner on this card three years ago but well beaten on all starts since. Has dropped to a career low mark and will strip fitter for her latest run following an eight month break.

Lochalsh7
Age: 14|  Weight: 10-3| J: Callum Bewley(3)| T: K Scott
5/1
Has conditions to suit and arrives in better form than most. Rider had a double on this card twelve months ago.
Showed improved form following a seven month absence last time. Capable of further progress for a yard that had a winner on this card last year.

66/1
Well beaten on all his starts and difficult to fancy from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Little Bruce (7/4), Achill Road Boy (9/2), Lochalsh (5/1), Massini's Lady (13/2), Milan Dancer (14/1), Brackenmoss Rory (14/1), The Doorman (16/1), Seven Summits (25/1), Rinnagree Rosie (25/1), Cadore (33/1), Don't Be Hasty (50/1), Glenma (66/1)

Verdict

LITTLE BRUCE showed improved form to beat a stronger looking field than this at Wetherby and is taken to defy his penalty. Rinnagree Rosie is capable of a bold show off her current mark whilst Seven Summits is interesting on a rare visit to the track for his trainer. 1. Little Bruce 2. Rinnagree Rosie 3. Seven Summits
