Dixon¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: M H Tompkins| OR: 55

9/1

Best effort in four career starts came on AW bow at Chelmsford recently (1m2f) and has scope for better over this trip, one to note in the betting.

Form: 6004

(9)

Equal Rights^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 55

6/1

Best effort came over this sort of trip on sound surface at Lingfield in June, had a break and may have needed the run back there last month, potentially has more to offer over this distance.

Form: 8-44038

(10)

Alligator³²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55

50/1

A maiden after nine starts and the positives have been limited in truth, returns from 322 days off now making debut for new yard and best watched unless money arrives.

Form: 283097-

Mr C⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Joe Doyle| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 55

6/1

Winner of a maiden handicap at Pontefract in July over 1m2f on good ground, two runs since have revealed limitations and will have to bounce on first AW start.

Form: 7-93147

(4)

Masterfilly^v1³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: E Walker| OR: 54

9/1

Maiden has been completely tailed off on two most recent turf starts, both over this sort of trip, gets a visor added now and must bounce back. Has run well at this track before.

Form: 6-59388

(3)

London Grammar¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Tate| T: R J Smith| OR: 54

10/1

Capable of winning weak races on her day and fairly handicapped, AW record this year is decent and could bounce back to form after couple of poor turf efforts.

Form: 718973

(6)

Mistress Viz²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁷⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 54

22/1

Still looking for her first career win and on the evidence of a poor display at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) last time she will probably need a deal more assistance from the handicapper before that happens. First run for new yard now.

Form: 47-6779

(8)

Babette⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Joshua Bryan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Bailey| OR: 53| BF

7/2

Never a factor in her three maidens and similar tale on handicap bow at Yarmouth over 7f in August. Changed hands since and upped in journey for this AW bow, work to do.

Form: 7889

(5)

Born To Reason^b1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: K Frost| OR: 52

7/2

Nice-race maiden now, rather spoilt her chance with tardy start here in August over extended-mile, wears blinkers for the first time now upped in distance and must improve.

Form: 697370

Super Ruby⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 51

16/1

Just the four starts and on a lenient handicap mark having shown little in maidens. Never looked likely to take advantage at Thirsk over a mile (good) in August, makes AW bow now.

Form: 6660

(7)

Follow Me¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 51

20/1

Has improvement to find on anything she's done in six starts to date if hoping to make a mark now, most recent effort on turf at Brighton (1m2f, good) had some merits to it but still calls for more.

Form: 09-7896

Forecasts

Born To Reason (7/2), Babette (7/2), Mr C (6/1), Equal Rights (6/1), Dixon (9/1), Masterfilly (9/1), London Grammar (10/1), Queen Moon (14/1), Miss M (14/1), Super Ruby (16/1), Follow Me (20/1), Mistress Viz (22/1), Alligator (50/1)

Not an easy finale for punters and the market may prove informative. Dixon produced a better effort over this sort of trip at Chelmsford recently and could potentially build on that with scope for more over the trip while Mr C scored at Pontefract in July and might put a couple of tame efforts since behind now reverting to the AW. Similarly, London Grammar is up to winning races at this level and may benefit back on this surfrace but perhaps EQUAL RIGHTS can land this. His best effort so far came over this sort of trip on good to firm at Lingfield and he can be forgiven a tame show there last month on soft coming off a break. In a race where there are no outstanding candidates, he gets the nod.
