Deep Challenger¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 73

6/1

Both wins have come on the AW, though twice placed on turf from four runs. Latest success came over 1m4f at Wolverhampton 13 days ago, benefitting from sprint finish. Up in trip again.

Mr Globetrotter^p1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 73| D

14/1

Dual purpose performer has three wins from eight Flat runs this year, latest over 2m at Catterick in June. 3lb higher but capable of having his say with first-time cheekpieces introduced.

Caged Lightning^p²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: S Gollings| OR: 70| D

5/1

Tends to save his best for artificial surfaces, returned from more than 500 days off with promising effort at Chelmsford last month, not enjoying great deal of luck at crucial moment. Interesting to see if he can build on that.

Form: 1132/7-6

Saved By The Bell²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁷⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 70| D

25/1

Is now on a 20-run winless streak, showing very little on debut for this trainer last month at Pontefract (2m1f, soft). Down in trip and winning form previously has all come on good/good to firm ground.

Montanna²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: G Lee| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 76

3/1

16/1 classified stakes winner on AW at Newcastle in June, held in both starts since, latest over 2m at that track last month. Could have a say on best form.

Ingleby Hollow^t1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 63

8/1

There have been some glimmers of promise this year but those have never really been built on and for the most part he looks on the downgrade. Again poor at Haydock last month (1m4f, heavy) and despite tongue tie going on, makes little appeal.

Big Time Dancer^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: B Ellison| OR: 63

11/1

Has done all his winning in Class 6 events, including last month at Leicester over 1m2f on good to soft. No impact in Class 4 here over that trip since, attempts a new trip now and has better chance seemingly.

Stanarley Pic¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Neil Farley| T: Sally Haynes| OR: 62| CD

15/2

C&D winner in August, only narrowly denied the follow up next time under 5lb penalty, not as good 19 days ago at Musselburgh but capable of challenging back at this venue.

Form: 374126

Sheriff Garrett^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69| D

11/2

Won twice in quick succession on the AW in the summer but handicapper appeared to have his measure of late. Best turf effort so far came last time at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) when close up in fourth of 13 off this mark. Cheekpieces restored here.

Midnight Warrior^t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: R E Barr| OR: 57| CD

33/1

Three of five career wins have come over this C&D, most recently landing apprentice contest on good to firm in July. Out of sorts since (including over C&D in August) and has bit to prove at the moment.

Forecasts

Montanna (3/1), Caged Lightning (5/1), So Celebre (5/1), Sheriff Garrett (11/2), Deep Challenger (6/1), Stanarley Pic (15/2), Ingleby Hollow (8/1), Waiting For Richie (8/1), Big Time Dancer (11/1), Mr Globetrotter (14/1), Saved By The Bell (25/1), Midnight Warrior (33/1)

SO CELEBRE has hit the crossbar in two recent AW outings off this mark and, with no worries over the longer trip, is taken to get some reward in this contest back on turf. Sheriff Garrett produced his best turf run last time at Musselburgh and is capable of mounting a challenge here with a repeat effort while Deep Challenger, Waiting For Richie and Big Time Dancer are others likely to throw their hats in the ring.
