AJA Amateur Riders' Handicap

Off time: 16:02 | Winning time: 2m 15.04s

(4)

Down Time^v⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 60

66/1

Well beaten on both starts for this yard. Has looked one paced over 3m3f over hurdles so this trip looks too sharp for him.

Form: 0/133-60

(5)

Different Journey^b1⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 60

10/1

Unloved when disappointing on latest starts which reflect the general overall form of the yard at that time. Blinkers go on, mark continues to fall and yard have been back amongst the winners lately.

Form: 3-47099

(13)

Mamnoon^b⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁵⁾| T: R Brotherton| OR: 59| D

50/1

Winner on firm ground at Bath and has run well there twice since. Poor here last time and given a break since. Unproven on an easy surface.

Form: 501339

(12)

Monday Club¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Patrick Millman| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 58| D

12/1

Runner-up in this 12 months and will strip fitter for his return to action two weeks ago. Rider has partnered 19 winners so one to note.

Form: 55122-6

(11)

Sakhalin Star^p,e/s,h²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: R C Guest| OR: 58| D

16/1

4-73 record with tow of those successes coming this year. Yet to make the frame under an amateur and recent efforts have not been encouraging.

Form: 1257F4

(8)

Top Diktat³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr B James⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 58| CD

16/1

Veteran has gone two years without a win and there have been no signs recently that trend is about to be reversed.

Form: 550-690

(9)

Quoteline Direct^h²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 58

16/1

Inconsistent type with a 2-21 record. On a career low mark but not one to put maximum faith in.

Form: 302465

(1)

Rock'n Gold^b1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr James King| T: A Wintle| OR: 57

15/2

Has hardly beaten a rival since switching to this yard from Luca Cumani. Hard to fancy despite the booking of a good amateur.

Form: 5-00800

(16)

Tingo In The Tale^p⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Jessica Cooley⁽⁵⁾| T: A Forbes| OR: 57| CD

18/1

Snapped a five year losing streak when scoring over C&D in August. Well beaten off his mark since and looks an unlikely type to follow up soon.

Form: 384719

(7)

England Expects^h⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-9| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 58

7/2

Good effort from out of the handicap last week under this rider who has a career record of 2-6 with three other mounts making the frame. Races off her correct mark here and unlikely to find a similarly well handicapped rival.

Form: 482532

(10)

Royal Cosmic¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-9| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 58

5/1

Has battled well to land two races over 1m4f at Musselburgh. Best efforts have come over that trip or on right-handed tracks. Young rider now 5-18 and so excellent value for her 5lb claim.

Form: 567211

(3)

Bigbadboy¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Abbie McCain⁽³⁾| T: C A Mulhall| OR: 54| D

13/2

Two successive victories this summer including one under this rider have resulted in stiff punishment from the handicapper. Should go well once again but others make more appeal for win purposes.

Form: 0-01163

(15)

Bob's Boy^t,v1¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr H Myddelton⁽⁷⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 53| D

66/1

Record of 1-19 and yet to produce his best for this yard. Visor fitted but remains of limited appeal.

Form: 605480

(14)

Ingleby Spring¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: R A Fahey| OR: 53| D

14/1

Landed a similar race at Redcar 12 days ago under Ella McCain (Royal Cosmic) when she seemed to benefit from the step up in trip. Had a hard race that day and a 3-31 record hardly suggests she is one to pin your hopes on for a repeat.

Form: 597871

(6)

Candesta¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr M S Harris⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 51

25/1

Has failed to trouble the judge since winning at Chelmsford last December. Best form has come over a mile and he looks too speculative a risk.

Form: 585670

Rock On Dandy¹⁶

Weight: 10-11| Age: 3

T: H J L Dunlop J: Miss Serena Brotherton

Forecasts

England Expects (7/2), Royal Cosmic (5/1), Rock On Dandy (6/1), Bigbadboy (13/2), Rock'n Gold (15/2), Different Journey (10/1), Monday Club (12/1), Ingleby Spring (14/1), Quoteline Direct (16/1), Top Diktat (16/1), Sakhalin Star (16/1), Tingo In The Tale (18/1), Candesta (25/1), Mamnoon (50/1), Down Time (66/1), Bob's Boy (66/1)

Monday Club was runner-up in this 12 months ago but his may be a better renewal with Richard Fahey saddling two recent winners, Ingleby Spring and Royal Cosmic, under very capable pilots. England Expects went well for this rider last time and should go close again but marginal preference is for ROCK ON DANDY. Harry Dunlop has managed to secure top amateur Serena Brotherton to partner his maiden whose two best career efforts have come in handicaps from this mark.
