Dapper Man^b⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 60| D

9/2

Won well at Wetherby in June but has been struggling to back it up since. Handicapper starting to relent a little and may have given the gelding a chance here.

Bay Station^p³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: J Ward| OR: 60| CD

CD winner on debut, 12 months ago when with the late David Nicholls. Not disgraced in four stable starts, but now 14lb lower than initial rating.

The Night Before²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: B A Curtis| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 56

14/1

Minor improvement on handicap debut last time at Doncaster, possibly paying the price for going too hard on the front end. May do better now and trainer excels with his sprinters.

Form: 60-56

Canford Bay¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: A Brittain| OR: 56

8/1

Sixth of 10 on handicap debut here earlier this month, beaten over 8L. Handicapper drops the colt 3lb here, but hard to see any improvement.

Form: 5-256

Newgate Sioux^t1⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Barry McHugh| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 50| CD

33/1

Sprang a 66/1 surprise on her final run of last season when running on well to win over CD. Given the impression that the filly has not trained on, but still running off 11lb higher mark than last win won't have helped.

Form: 81-8670

20/1

40/1

Ran a fair race when fifth dropped to 5f on the AW at Newcastle, before last of seven, beaten over 7L at Doncaster. Not a case to build for the 13-race maiden.

Equipe⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: A Mullen| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 45

Quirky. Lost chance at the start when veering right as the stalls opened and was always struggling. Yet to be sent off lower than 50/1.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Sammy Jo Bell⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 45

Yet to make the frame from seven starts and has only once threatened to do so. Best effort on her second handicap start at Leicester over 5f on good to firm in June.
