St Mary's¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: William Cox⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 85

10/3

In excellent form currently and has an attitude to match. Up 3lb for her latest effort over C&D but down in grade and sure to prove a worthy opponent

Form: 621252

Whinging Willie^v³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: H Crouch⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 83

7/1

Took advantage of a good tactical ride to gain an overdue success a month ago. Now 5lb above that career highest winning mark and that demands a lot.

Form: 622671

Rydan^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 80

5/1

Has an excellent record for this rider who has partnered him to each of his three successes. Looking feasibly treated and down to this grade for the first time since registering last success a year ago.

Form: 325473

Swaheen^p³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Joe Doyle| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 79| D

12/1

Down the field in this 12 month ago when conditions would have been quicker than ideal. Down to his last winning mark and hard to discount with ground conditions looking ideal.

Form: 105434

Eurato^p²¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: S Gollings| OR: 74| D

20/1

Has developed into a consistent AW performer for this yard but looks fully weighted at present. Off the track seven months but has gone well fresh previously and handled soft ground when trained in France.

Form: 222313

Bertie Moon⁸²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 73| CD

10/1

Makes debut for new yard off a mark 8lb below that for his most recent success over a year ago. Shrewd handler capable of bringing out the best in him and worth noting there was support for him on Friday prior to his withdrawal.

Form: 7-86487

(10)

Master Archer^p⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 78| BF

5/2

Nine-race maiden who has been shifting up the weights whilst continuing to look one paced. Looks vulnerable in this company.

Form: 484222

Stormin Tom¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| C| D

12/1

Beat a good yardstick in Renfrew Street at Ripon (1m6f, good) in August. Seems to reserve his best for that venue and better on a sounder surface than forecast here.

Form: 261376

(5)

Saved By The Bell¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁷⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 70| D

25/1

Has gone 21 races without a win and has dropped 19lb in the weights this season. Appeared to be approaching his level last time but that was in a lower grade race than this.

Form: 727773

Forecasts

Master Archer (5/2), St Mary's (10/3), Rydan (5/1), Whinging Willie (7/1), Bertie Moon (10/1), Stormin Tom (12/1), Swaheen (12/1), Slunovrat (12/1), Eurato (20/1), Saved By The Bell (25/1)

Slunovrat and RYDAN are the two that arouse most interest under riders that know how to coax the best from them. Both are dropped in class with preference for the latter who is potentially the better handicapped now down to his last winning mark. Bertie Moon has his first run for Michael Appleby and earns respect as a result whilst St Mary's will not go down without a fight.
