Wind Place And Sho¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: G Lee| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 83

16/1

Struggling for form at present and not won for over a year now. Probably wants faster ground to be seen at his best.

Form: 1700-59

Blue Hussar¹¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: P J McDonald| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 79| D

12/1

Consistent sort over hurdles but a bit more hit and miss on the Flat. Ran well over C&D last time out and gives the impression he's on a fair mark. Jockey rides this course well and is in good form currently so could run well.

Form: 44048-3

Shearling¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Ben Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 79| D

6/1

Winner of three of her first four starts but they were all in bumpers and she's yet to get her head in front on the Flat. Has run well in defeat and will find this easier than the Listed contest she tried here last time out.

Form: 3529

Kashmiri Sunset^p,t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 77| BF| C

5/1

Has been running well since he's been switched to this yard and step back up in trip likely to be in his favour. Has won off a higher mark than this at this course over 2m2f so can't be ruled out with a talented 7lb claimer in the saddle.

Form: 41/0-142

(7)

Graceful Lady⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 76| CD

6/1

Has won four races this summer and proved she's effective with cut in the ground with a C&D win last time. Has been given some time to recover from that latest effort so could run well if she doesn't loose too much ground from coming out the stalls.

Form: 211121

Transpennine Star^p³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽⁵⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 72

8/1

Winner of his first two starts and back to form with a runner-up effort at Carlisle last time out. Left on the same mark by the handicapper, gets a useful claimer taking off 5lb and ought to go well again.

Form: 8-97442

Zenafire^p⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Sammy Jo Bell⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 71| D

16/1

Winner off this mark in July but he's been disappointing since that run and no signs of a return to form at Chester last time out. Has won with cut in the ground so can't be ruled out but needs to bounce back.

Form: 131645

Di Alta³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: E Walker| OR: 82

6/1

Winner at Windsor in July but couldn't back that up at Salisbury last time out. Proven with cut in the ground but probably needs to improve for the significant step up in trip. Less exposed than most in here so she could improve.

Form: 1-56215

(4)

Attention Seaker^t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70| D

6/1

Arrives here in search of a hat-trick and both her most recent wins came on soft ground over similar trips. Versatile tactics wise and she's very consistent so should run her race again.

Form: 034/411

(14)

Cousin Khee²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-1| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 70| C| D

20/1

Not won for nearly two years now and badly out of form on three starts on the Flat this campaign. Well-handicapped on old form but hard to fancy in current mood.

Form: 18/0-755

(8)

Aramist¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: Sally Haynes| OR: 69

20/1

Has been out of form since joining this yard and it's well over two years since his last win. Hard to fancy having finished a tailed off last when last seen.

Form: 48-6437

(3)

Mysterial¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 64

25/1

Pontefract winner in July when dominating an eight runner field but not as effective when he doesn't get an easy time on the front end. Back below his last winning mark but others preferred.

Form: 655367

Forecasts

Kashmiri Sunset (5/1), Shearling (6/1), Graceful Lady (6/1), Di Alta (6/1), Attention Seaker (6/1), Transpennine Star (8/1), Airton (8/1), Blue Hussar (12/1), Zenafire (16/1), Wind Place And Sho (16/1), Waiting For Richie (16/1), Cousin Khee (20/1), Aramist (20/1), Mysterial (25/1)

BLUE HUSSAR could be the one to side with after running well here last time out. Kashmiri Sunset is on a fair mark and should run well but Transpennine Star may be the main danger with a useful claimer in the saddle and he returned to form last time out.
