Danceintothelight^t¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 114| BF| D

4/1

Been in great heart of late and only just failed to expand on his profile at Kelso latest. Races from the same mark and, as confirmed front runner, he will be tough to deal with if on song again. Big player despite top weight.

Form: 434-P12

One For Billy^t¹⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 113| BF

10/3

Won a novice hurdle at Hexham in May but not so good on handicap debut latest; but races from the same mark and is still unexposed, so very feasible he can bounce back. Yard won this last year, so the market can guide in the follow up bid

Form: 633-19

Bonnet's Vino¹⁹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss Gina Andrews⁽³⁾| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 112| C| D

4/1

Dual C&D winner and shouldn't have too many issues with the predicted state of the ground. Off-putting effort last time out, however, and now looks weighted to his limit.

Fixed Rate^p1,t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Bannister| T: C J Mann| OR: 110

5/2

Just respectable efforts since winning at Kempton in April and may have needed the blow-out last time. Back on a winning mark and not too many miles on the clock over hurdles but yet to really convince over this trip.

Form: 5216-35

Knight's Parade^p,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Graham Carson⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 107

12/1

Another that likes to force the pace and very well treated on the pick of his Irish form. Consistent without winning since joining his current yard but still dangerous to overlook.

Form: 322464

Mamoo²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Teal⁽⁷⁾| T: N B King| OR: 104

10/1

Modest on the Flat but definite signs of ability now switched in codes for his new yard. Upped significantly in trip and a bit to prove on that score, so may be best watched on this occasion. .

Form: 235

Occasionally Yours¹⁷

Age: 13| Weight: 11-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁷⁾| T: A Blackmore| OR: 104| CD

25/1

Veteran that is closely matched with Knight's Parade on recent evidence but is still a maiden and has a little to prove over this new trip.

This is likely to be run at good clip but it will take a good effort to peg back DANCEINTOTHELIGHT if he continues to flourish. The gelding went close at Kelso last time out and has solid claims from the same mark against this similar level of competition. One For Billy also like to make the running and can ensure the selction doesn't have it all his own way, while Knight's Parade is on a handy mark and could very feasibly pick up the pieces if the front-runners happen to burn themselves out.
