Driver Group 40th Anniversary Selling Stakes

Four On Eight⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: A Mullen| T: G Peckham| OR: 82| D

20/1

Tailed off in handicap company on his latest start. Previous form gives him claims, but not easy to assess how much ability he retains. Market check.

Form: 6-27170

(4)

Metronomic²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Niven| OR: 55| CD

40/1

Has twice won sellers over this trip at Ripon. Acts on fast ground. More needed against a few of these but not written off.

Form: 188739

(5)

Warrior's Spirit^v1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: A D Brown| OR: 57

20/1

Well beaten in same amateur race as Palindrome last time. Visor now fitted to replace blinkers. Probably wants some rain.

Form: 966718

(12)

Moltoir¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 72

14/1

Out of sorts since a handicap success from this mark in the summer. Trip poses questions for him, but claims if he can get home.

Form: 419065

Remmy D^p³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 70

5/2

Stable debut for this 1m4f winner. Several pieces of form give him a chance in this field.

Form: 158387

Magnum^t⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: S Corbett| OR: 52

100/1

Remains a maiden on the Flat and has been well below his best this season. Can only watch.

Form: 63/0697

(1)

Prosecute⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Rachel Richardson| T: S Regan| OR: 40| D

100/1

Produced a career-best at Haydock in 2016, but has been on the slide since. Others readily preferred.

Form: 00-0989

(14)

What Wonders Weave¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: R J Osborne| OR: 70

7/1

Has won twice at this level at her beloved Hamilton. Has to prove she is as good elsewhere, but certainly not ruled out.

Form: 405-961

(13)

Alliteration¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: D Allan| T: J Hughes| OR: 62

14/1

Well held in a seller at Hamilton last time out. Could be given a chance if able to produce his best, but far from confident that he can produce that.

Form: 440584

(6)

French Flyer^h¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 60

5/1

Has put in some fair efforts in two of his more recent starts, but will need more than that even at this level. Nonetheless, can't rule him out in a weak contest.

Form: 099795

(3)

I'm Yer Man²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 60

9/1

Scored in novices' company on AW, but is a six-race maiden on turf. Ran well here in August. More needed, but not ruled out.

Form: 745050

(7)

Sunhill Lad^b1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Garritty| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 53

40/1

Yet to get his nose on front from 13 attempts. Tried in blinkers here for the first time, which could help to eek out some of the improvement needed even to win at this level.

Form: 396579

(10)

Thiobraid Arann⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P Hanagan| T: Micky Hammond

12/1

Ran well on debut at Hamilton in July, when 3L second in a novice event. Heads straight for this sphere and is interesting, being stepped up in trip and unexposed as he is.

Form: 2

(9)

See The Sea^p¹⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 70| BF| D

6/1

Scored at both Bath and Pontefract last year (1m2f), but well below that level in two runs this term. Leading player if she can get back to something like her 2017 form, but can't be confident she will.

Form: 7211-57

Palindrome¹¹

Weight: 9-8| Age: 5

T: Mrs Marjorie Fife J: Faye McManoman

Forecasts

Remmy D (5/2), French Flyer (5/1), See The Sea (6/1), What Wonders Weave (7/1), I'm Yer Man (9/1), Thiobraid Arann (12/1), Alliteration (14/1), Moltoir (14/1), Palindrome (14/1), Warrior's Spirit (20/1), Four On Eight (20/1), Metronomic (40/1), Sunhill Lad (40/1), Magnum (100/1), Prosecute (100/1)

A poor contest where See The Sea would have clear claims if able to get back to somewhere near last year's form, but she looks risky on recent evidence, while similar can be said of Four On Eight. What Wonders Weave and Palindrome are both of interest, Metronomic is not ruled out of the frame, but the suggestion is the unexposed THIOBRAID ARANN, who showed promise on debut and is interesting pitched in here.
