Kharbetation^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 80

12/1

Has twice won here over 1m and is on the sort of mark from which he can make an impact. However, this trip may be a bit far for him to show his best.

Form: 422549

Ghayyar^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78

12/1

Dual scorer over 1m this year. Conditions to his liking, but another who has so far failed to convince that this trip is ideal.

Form: 319540

Two For Two^p⁴⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 78

25/1

His best form over 1m this year entitles him to plenty of respect from this mark, but there remain stamina doubts over this longer trip. Bit to prove.

Form: 405427

Save The Bees⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: D Carroll| OR: 77| CD

22/1

Scored over this trip at Haydock in July and was beaten just 1L from this mark a month later. Out of sorts since then, but has claims if he can bounce back.

Form: 617270

Dawn Dancer^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: M Dwyer| T: A M Balding| OR: 80| BF| D

6/1

Scored at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in June and was improving until below par last time. Cheekpieces now fitted and he has claims if they can aid a revival.

Form: 433126

Duck Egg Blue¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 75

25/1

Hamilton looks to be her racecourse of choice after some decent form there in fillies' handicaps this season. Has to prove that she is as good here and in a field as strong as this, however.

Form: 828704

(5)

Accessor²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 77

11/1

10-1 but last of six on debut for this trainer. Has a bit to prove strictly on that, but in good hands and a much better effort can't be ruled out.

Form: 81-946

(3)

First Dance¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: T P Tate| OR: 73| D

14/1

Pontefract winner (1m2f, good to firm), when 4lb lower, in August. Well held from just 1lb higher than this on both runs since then. May be able to do better back on fast ground, but has that to prove now.

Form: 9-85168

(14)

Punkawallah^p⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 71| D

16/1

Dual 1m2f winner at Haydock last year (including on fast ground). 4lb higher than the better of those, but has not gone on this year and recent efforts suggest that he is playing for places.

Form: 11-8949

(15)

Winged Spur⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 75| D

17/2

Admirably consistent this season, winning three times from 1m-1m2f. Not beaten far from this mark last time. Each-way claims, but more needed for another success.

Form: 838444

(13)

Bit Of A Quirke⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford| OR: 71| D

33/1

Completed a four-timer at around this trip in June/July and remains 3lb higher than the last of those. Held both runs since. Soft ground a probable excuse last time, but more needed for another win.

Form: 111145

(11)

Echo Cove¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 72

7/1

Seven-race maiden. Unexposed, but has to prove he gets this far and needs to find improvement to have a serious chance.

Form: 74-4355

(9)

Bollin Joan^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 71| CD

12/1

Was 5lb lower when scoring over C&D in a 0-75 in August. Soft ground a possible excuse when well held from this mark last time. Return to fast ground can help. More needed at this level, but not ruled out.

Form: 211315

(10)

Rose Tinted Spirit²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 70

6/1

Came good at the seventh attempt when winning a 0-80 at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last time, when 5lb lower. Stayed on well there, so this extra furlong looks positive. Unexposed and looks a leading player.

Form: 53-7561

(8)

Archie Perkins¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: N Tinkler| OR: 70| D

12/1

Consistent performer in minor company, but held last time from this mark and might be stretched at this slightly better level.

Form: 422114

Forecasts

Rose Tinted Spirit (6/1), Dawn Dancer (6/1), Echo Cove (7/1), Winged Spur (17/2), Accessor (11/1), Archie Perkins (12/1), Ghayyar (12/1), Kharbetation (12/1), Bollin Joan (12/1), First Dance (14/1), Punkawallah (16/1), Save The Bees (22/1), Two For Two (25/1), Duck Egg Blue (25/1), Bit Of A Quirke (33/1)

ROSE TINTED SPIRIT is interesting now stepped up to this trip after breaking his duck last time. Unexposed, he may be capable of defying a 5lb rise. Dawn Dancer looks a threat, but he needs to get back on track after a blip last time. Winged Spur and Save The Bees are others with a claims at their best, while Bollin Joan and First Dance make some each-way appeal.
