6/1

Not yet got to grips with handicaps but won a Carlisle novice event (1m, good to firm) two starts ago. 2lb drop since latest handicap run at Brighton (1m2f), but not easy to fancy here on that evidence.

Where's Jeff⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 76| CD

2/1

C&D scorer on fast ground in July, when 11lb lower. Returned here over 1m1f to go very close from just 3lb lower. Held in a York lady amateurs' race last time but remains unexposed and handles soft ground. Could go close.

Form: 9-41126

Mametz Wood^p¹⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rhona Pindar⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 72

9/1

0-7, but had run some good races in defeat and goes well on soft. Out of sorts on his last two starts, but on the sort of mark from which he has previously been dangerous. Not ruled out.

Form: 33-2206

Rampant Lion¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 69

6/1

0-6 and beginning to drop to a more competitive mark. However, more is needed from him than he has been able to show in this sphere so far.

Form: 65-3445

Cascella²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 66| BF| D

11/2

Didn't appear comfortable on soft ground in Ireland and her sole success to date was on a fast surface at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last month, when 9lb lower. Respectable effort last time at Musselburgh, but more needed from this mark.

Kylie Rules^h³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 64

4/1

0-13 so far, but best effort was over C&D (soft) in June, when 3lb higher. That is heartening, though needs to bounce back from recent efforts.

Jimmy Geronimo¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: R J Osborne| OR: 58

20/1

Ran well here (1m1f, soft) on his handicap debut in June, when 4lb higher. Excuses since, being beaten back here in both a maiden and then over further last time. Interesting.

Forecasts

Where's Jeff (2/1), Kylie Rules (4/1), Cascella (11/2), Rampant Lion (6/1), Why We Dream (6/1), Mametz Wood (9/1), Havana Go (10/1), Jimmy Geronimo (20/1)

Jimmy Geronimo is very interesting from this mark on soft ground and a first win for the colt would not surprise. However, WHERE'S JEFF is an unexposed gelding who already has a course win to his name and goes on soft ground, and he might be the one for today. Mametz Wood and Cascella are not ruled out, while Havana Go merits a market check.
