Winner over 5f on three occasions last year (very speedy) and posted her best effort this year when second in a Catterick handicap and another runner-up position in Haydock 5f handicap. Promising run last day when stepped up in class in York 5f handicap.

Largely consistent so far this term, with his win coming at Ripon (6f, good to soft) in June and not beaten far since, albeit drawing a line through the run last day at York.

Just the one win over 5f on the AW but has run well in successful 6f handicaps at Haydock of late, beaten just 1L into fourth behind Pennsylvania Dutch on softer ground, before blowing out last day, beaten 12L.

Cost £40,000 as a yearling and has shown definite promise a couple of times now. Beaten just over a length by a horse with a Group 1 entry at Doncaster, the Zoffany gelding bulit on a fine second at Thirsk by winning there last day in 5f handicap. On same mark for handicap debut.

Didn't look at home on the undulations of Catterick on handicap/stable debut, when well beaten third of four, since moving from Mick Halford's yard.

Forecasts

Holmeswood (10/11), Impart (5/1), Full Intention (6/1), Computable (7/1), Liquid (8/1), Merry Banter (9/1), Harome (16/1), Caesar's Comet (28/1)

Verdict

Merry Banter could be the one to blast from the gates here, with Full Intention, beaten just 1L into fourth behind Pennsylvania Dutch on softer ground in June and Liquid, on winning mark for handicap debut, close behind. Also up with the pace will be the selection, HOLMESWOOD.
  1. Holmeswood
  2. Full Intention
  3. Liquid
