11/8

Bidding to complete a hat-trick following victories at Ballinrobe (good) and on debut for this yard at Catterick (good) over 1m4f last time out. Drop in trip shouldn't inconvenience and one to note in this contest.

15/2

Won just one of his 29 starts but ran well when finishing runner-up over 1m at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) on his penultimate outing. Well held subsequently but better ground forecast here should suit.

Finished runner-up under today's rider over 1m4f here in June but disappointing the last twice including in an amateur riders event at Windsor (good) last time out. Needs to bounce back here.

Disappointing since finishing third over 1m1f at Carlisle (soft) in June. Handicap mark is falling as a result and rated 11lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton a year ago.

Maiden after 14 starts and a career best effort when finishing fifth under today's rider over an extended 1m at Beverley (good) recently. Others make more appeal here.

Forecasts

All For Nothing (11/8), Kerry Icon (11/4), Stonecoldsoba (10/3), Strictly Art (9/2), Adventureman (15/2), Barnaby Brook (9/1), Sunshineandbubbles (12/1), Fledermaus (20/1), Mount Cheiron (25/1), Royal Etiquette (33/1)

KERRY ICON can register her second career victory by taking this concluding amateur riders contest. The selection is back down to her last winning mark having put in a respectable effort when fourth at Newcastle last time and she is taken to get the better of recent hurdles winner Sonecoldsoba who came home clear of his rivals when winning twice in that sphere recently. Strictly Art, a winner under today's rider already this season can claim third today.
