Waarif¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 100| D

14/1

Well held from 1lb lower in the Cambridgeshire. In good form over this slightly shorter trip this season. No easy task from this draw and this mark, but each-way player if at his best.

Uae Prince¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 99

7/2

Both his wins have been over further. Good effort when 5L fifth from this mark n the Cambridgeshire last time. Cheekpieces retained and he looks to have claims now dropped even further in trip.

Form: 5440-25

Great Order¹⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 98| BF| D

12/1

Dual winner (1m2f/1m) in 2016, when he also went close here over the former trip fro this mark in a handicap. Doesn't look to have been the easiest to train, with only one run since then, but if fully firing he would have to be considered.

Form: 31122/4

Gulf Of Poets²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 98| D

33/1

Acts on good or slower and is effective from 1m-1m2f. However, looks to have a tough task on his hands here from 7lb higher than his last win.

Form: 3-11399

Chatez²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 98| D

10/1

You have to go back to 2015 for his last win in Doncaster's Spring Mile (good), which came from 2lb lower. Lengthy layoff after that, but looks to have retained his ability and trainer does well with his raids here. Poor draw, but not ruled out.

Form: 0301/2-4

Yuften¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: J Butler| OR: 97| D

25/1

Doesn't win often, but put up another respectable effort at Haydock last time and not ruled out of the frame.

Form: 30005-4

Get Knotted^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 97| C| D

8/1

Loves it here and has won the same Class 2 event at the track in July (7f) for the past three seasons. 2lb higher than this year's success, so a bit more needed, but effective over 1m and is considered.

Form: 322184

Lualiwa²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 93| C

20/1

Steps up to this trip for the first time. Has over 3L to find with Get Knotted on their running here (7f) in July. Went close next time (7f) at Chester, from this mark. Poor draw and can probably forgive his latest run. Not written off.

0-5 on turf and looks up against it in this line-up.

Alemaratalyoum¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: J Fanning| T: I Jardine| OR: 91| D

11/2

In good form this season and scored for the third time at Haydock (1m, good to soft) last month. Up 3lb for that, but remains unexposed and very much of interest here.

Nicholas T¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: J S Goldie| OR: 88| D

9/1

1m and a sound surface suit him well. Back to 1lb higher than his last win, in the summer of 2017. Needs to be at his best and if he is then he would come into the reckoning.

Breanski³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: A Fresu| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 88| D

11/1

Completed a hat-trick in the summer, the last of those on his first run for this trainer, when 3lb lower. Another respectable effort last time at Ascot. Bit more needed, but should be competitive.

Form: 421119

Barrington²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 87

33/1

Has raced only over sprint trips so far. Back on his last winning mark after some below par efforts. Worth a try over this far on pedigree, but has plenty to prove.

Form: 016006

Mikmak^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 87| D

12/1

Thirsk 1m winner (good to soft) when 7lb lower in August. Stays 1m2f. Went close from this mark at Ripon (also August), Heavy ground probably excuse last time. Tends to be held up and should be doing best work at finish. Each-way player.

Form: 231260

My Amigo^t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 86

28/1

Yet to win over further than 6f, although see out this trip. Could struggle in this grade, however.

Just Hiss^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| CD

9/1

Races from the same mark as his C&D win last year, albeit in a lesser contest. Has shown himself to be very competitive in defeat this season and from a decent draw he has each-way claims again.

Form: 7-03335

Forecasts

Uae Prince (7/2), Alemaratalyoum (11/2), Get Knotted (8/1), Just Hiss (9/1), Nicholas T (9/1), Chatez (10/1), Breanski (11/1), Mikmak (12/1), Great Order (12/1), Waarif (14/1), Lualiwa (20/1), Yuften (25/1), My Amigo (28/1), Gulf Of Poets (33/1), Barrington (33/1), Dommersen (50/1)

Another competitive heat, where plenty have chances if things drop right. The Tim Easterby pair Mikmak and Just Hiss are among those and both certainly make each-way appeal. Breanski is of interest, as are Waarif, UAE Prince and Chatez towards the top of the weights. Get Knotted can't be ruled out at this venue, but the suggestion is ALEMARATALYOUM, who in unexposed and in good form.
