Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Phil Dennis| T: N Wilson| OR: 61| CD

7/4

Back to form here last time, and has gone up 3lb for a short head success. Has not previously been able to back up a win and will probably need another career-best to follow up.

10/3

Hasn't won on turf since 2015, when 18lb higher. Has scored twice on Tapeta since then, both from higher marks than this. Losing run now at 12, but can't be ruled out if he did happen to produce his optimum effort.

Bonanza Bowls^b¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Russell⁽¹⁰⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 49

5/2

0-10. Claims based on his best run at Thirsk (6f, good to firm), which was in first-time cheekpieces in June. Not a bad effort in first-time blinkers last time, and interesting with 10lb claimed.

9/1

Won twice over C&D in 2016, the latter from 5lb higher, but has not added to that. Looks up against it here and likely to find a few too good.

Yet to make the frame from 21 starts. Readily opposed.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Ben Robinson| T: A Berry| OR: 45

14/1

Beaten less than 3L in third here last month, but has been unable to reproduce that twice since and carries plenty of risks.

Forecasts

Our Place In Loule (7/4), Bonanza Bowls (5/2), Groundworker (10/3), Ganton Par (5/1), Thornaby Princess (9/1), Zizum (14/1), Griffin Street (18/1)

The form pick here is Our Place In Loule. He may prove good enough to win again after a career-best last time, but the 10lb claimed off BONANZA BOWLS looks a very useful thing to have on our side and that might just help to tip the scales in his favour. Groundworker is not dismissed, and the same applies to Ganton Par, in what is a weak nightcap.
