Koditime²⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: R L Moore| T: C G Cox| OR: 91| D

11/4

A winner on debut but struggled in Group company thereafter. Not seen for some time and has a bit to prove at present; entitled to need this run on return.

Form: 1387-

Roundhay Park²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 90| D

5/1

Proved highly progressive as a juvenile and got back on track back over the minimum trip at Ripon last time. 9lb higher for that now in a tougher race but there could be more to come.

Form: 21310-1

Dotted Swiss¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 85| D

17/2

A winner of two of her last three starts including turf debut last time at Nottingham. May be even better on a faster surface here so not ruled out only up 4lb in the handicap.

Form: 772-131

Billy Dylan⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: C J McGovern⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 84| D

16/1

Well beaten second by Roundhay Park at Ripon two starts back and couldn't build on that when well beaten at Chester last time. Best efforts have come with cut in the ground and others preferred here.

Form: 320-928

Areen Faisal²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 84

20/1

Sole win in seven starts came at Pontefract in July. Shown very little for this yard in two starts so far and may do better when stepped back up in trip. Yard won this last year.

Form: 50130-4

Joegogo⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans| OR: 83| D

25/1

All four wins have come on AW and yet to get his head in front in nine turf starts. Better efforts have come on quick ground so has that in his favour at least but seemingly a bit more exposed than many of these.

Marnie James^t²¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Nathan Evans| T: I Jardine| OR: 82| CD

22/1

Made it two wins from his last three starts at Musselburgh last time out having been a surprise winner over C&D (20/1) three starts back. Inconsistent sort but not out of this if ready to go on return.

Form: 268181-

Fool For You¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: R A Fahey| OR: 80| D

10/1

Improved from her debut here to win at Catterick next time and ran well on return at Newcastle on return earlier this month. Live player if she comes on for that effort for a yard enjoying a fine week here.

Form: 41-2

Angel Force⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: S De Sousa| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 77| CD

12/1

C&D winner in July off a 12lb lower mark than this but lost her way towards the end of the campaign and shown very little in three starts this year. Seemingly needs more relief from the handicapper.

Form: 550-857

(14)

Dandy's Beano²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 77| D

25/1

Soft ground winner at Redcarlast year and all her best efforts have come with cut in the ground. May come on for a recent placed effort at Nottingham and gets a useful claimer taking off 5lb so not ruled out.

Form: 6281-3

Kimifive¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: J Tuite| OR: 76

9/1

Yet to win in eight starts but only narrowly denied last time when caught late and conditions in his favour here. Not ruled out.

Form: 22434-2

Misty Spirit²⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: P Hanagan| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 75

20/1

A winner at Leicester last year and ran well when placed in a valuable sales race towards the end of the campaign. Drop back in trip not certain to suit but respected on her debut for new yard who do well with their sprinters.

Form: 218034-

Bow Belles^h²¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75| D

40/1

Victorious on soft ground over 5f at Ripon in July and placed twice in handicap company since. May find conditions a little on the quick side here and entitled to need the run.

Form: 513832-

(5)

Charming Guest¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M R Channon| OR: 75| D

8/1

A winner over this trip at Bath on return this year but couldn't back that up at Doncaster (6f) earlier in the month when only third of seven. Drop back in trip could be in her favour and yard excel with their fillies.

Form: 8-13

(8)

Lord Of The Glen^v²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: J S Goldie| OR: 75| D

50/1

Three-time winner at Newcastle this winter and progressing well but yet to place in nine turf starts and needs to prove he can be as effective here.

Forecasts

Koditime (11/4), Roundhay Park (5/1), Charming Guest (8/1), Dotted Swiss (17/2), Kimifive (9/1), Fool For You (10/1), Angel Force (12/1), Rumshak (12/1), Billy Dylan (16/1), Areen Faisal (20/1), Misty Spirit (20/1), Marnie James (22/1), Joegogo (25/1), Dandy's Beano (25/1), Bow Belles (40/1), Lord Of The Glen (50/1)

Roundhay Park was impressive in his win at Ripon last time and with more improvement possible, he's not one to put a line through despite his higher mark. However, DOTTED SWISS is preferred for the Richard Hannon team with the filly likely to be capable of better on quicker ground here. Misty Spirit is an interesting runner on debut for "sprint king" Robert Cowell.
