Economic Crisis²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Billy Garritty⁽⁵⁾| T: A Berry| OR: 67| CD

17/2

Ayr winner in June, but has drawn a blank since. Has dropped to 3lb lower than when last successful, but recent efforts have been disappointing.

Form: 325966

Pavers Pride^b²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: N Wilson| OR: 64| CD

5/2

First-time blinkers when scoring over C&D in August and ran a blinder in the headgear when second of 20 at Ayr off 5lb higher last month. Up another 3lb, but is in form and progressive.

Form: 420012

Mable Lee¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-11| J: Ms S Brotherton| T: I Jardine| OR: 64| D

3/1

Generally running well and was a good second of eight over C&D last time. Has to enter calculations under her fine amateur rider, who is usually in demand for these types of races.

Form: 307262

(8)

One Boy^b²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 63| CD

4/1

Back to winning ways at Beverley in August and two subsequent displays off 7lb have been respectable. Down 2lb and claimer takes off 5lb so not out of it.

Form: 702195

Lexington Place¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Emily Bullock⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 62| CD

6/1

Out of the frame off higher marks on last three starts. Has won 12 times and knows where the winning post is so can't be discounted.

Form: 522857

(6)

Silver Starlight^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60| D

8/1

Bit out of sorts on recent starts but the handicapper has relented. Has won off a much higher mark than this and would be dangerous if staging a revival.

Form: 754350

Borders Dream¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Shannon Watts⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 45

25/1

Unplaced in seven starts and fitting of a visor last time had no effect. Readily ruled out with the headgear left off this time.

Form: 586050

Carlton Thomas^p1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 45

25/1

Four starts in which he has been beaten a long way. Tries his luck in a handicap, but even the fitting of cheekpieces for the first time is not persuasive.

Form: 0080

Forecasts

Pavers Pride (5/2), Mable Lee (3/1), One Boy (4/1), Lexington Place (6/1), Silver Starlight (8/1), Economic Crisis (17/2), Carlton Thomas (25/1), Borders Dream (25/1)

Mable Lee is interesting under her highly-competent jockey, but the form choice is PAVERS PRIDE, who is on the upgrade and can defy this higher mark. One Boy has a squeak at these weights and Silver Starlight has the ability to figure if returning to form, while Lexington Place knows his way around and cannot be written off.
