Mr Sundowner^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss S M Doolan⁽³⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 65| C| D

14/1

Likes this course but has a bit to prove after a moderate effort at Catterick last week. Stiff test under top weight.

Form: 757868

Decima⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 65| D

7/1

Yard always respected in races of this nature and the betting can be informative about any stable confidence. Held twice since winning at Carlisle in August but not ruled out at this level.

Form: 687165

Celtic Artisan^b,t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Ella McCain⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 64| D

12/1

Best on the AW and has to be a concern that he's 0-18 on turf. The trip and ground are also negative factors against his claims. Others preferred.

Form: 212145

Savannah Moon⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss H T Lees⁽⁵⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 63| D

5/1

Mixed fortunes of late but is on a winning mark and enjoyed a confidence-boosting spin at Nottingham last week. Ran on well near the finish on that occasion, so can be expected to be played late. One to bear in mind.

Form: 6497U2

Bollin Ted⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62| BF| D

12/1

Suited by the trip and drying ground would be in his favour. Possible a stiffer track would be more beneficial though.

Form: 133319

Almunther^p1,t⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 61| D

13/2

Won a maiden handicap at Pontefract in July but not seen out in public since being pulled up at the same course in his next start just over a week later. Second in a division of this race last year, so still worth a betting check.

Form: 32-241P

Stubytuesday²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Emily Bullock⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 60| C

8/1

Best form has been posted over shorter distances (has a 6f course win to his name but yet to impress over this sort of trip). The betting can guide again here.

Form: 488006

(5)

Grandscape⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Sophie Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 64

6/1

Has ability but still to get off the mark on turf (0-8 so far). Dropped to a handy mark but her latest effort was over 1m4f (on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton) and she has something to prove dropping back in distance.

Form: 564652

(10)

Amity Island²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss C Walton| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 63

25/1

Unexposed on turf but has been well held twice since finishing third at Thirsk in April. Doesn't look particularly well handicapped at present either (2lb above his winning mark on the AW). His rider has won this race twice in the last four years.

Form: 551375

(15)

Dutch Artist⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Miss B Johnson⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 57

100/1

Just one win from 26 starts under both codes and is currently on a long losing run. Has experience of the course but others make more appeal over this sort of trip.

Form: 30-8090

(12)

Dutch Coed²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Miss Samantha Pugh⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 57

10/1

Posted a sound effort in an amateur riders race at Beverley last month and gets on well with today's rider. Trip and ground not expected to be problematic; one to consider here.

Form: 105542

(14)

Mr Carbonator³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: P A Kirby| OR: 60

14/1

Won a brace on the AW early this year but has looked as if the handicapper has his measure in all subsequent starts. Has now been cut some slack and positive that his rider won a division of the 2017 renewal. The betting will again be informative.

Form: 653505

(7)

I'm Yer Man^p1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Amie Waugh| T: P A Kirby| OR: 60

14/1

Good effort to finish second in a C&D seller a fortnight ago but has become unpredictable and looks a risky option when the bigger picture comes into focus. The cheekpieces might help but a lot of guesswork is involved in trying to fathom him out.

Form: 450502

(6)

Metronomic¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Miss Nicole Wright⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Niven| OR: 55| CD

25/1

Not enjoyed any success since winning in selling grade at Ripon in May. Finished just over 6l adrift of I'm Yer Man here last time out and may struggle to reverse even that poor piece of form.

Form: 887395

Heirslookingatyou⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Miss Rachel Taylor⁽⁷⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 58

33/1

Raced just four times up until now and feasible he's better days are ahead of him. Has been off since July but does have experience of racing over this trip and a big run cannot be discounted if handles the ground. Place claims.

Form: 5545

The betting market can be informative in races of this nature. And, with that in mind SAVANNAH MOON appeals as the top contender after his very encouraging effort at Nottingham last week; he just edges the nomination as the one to be on. Amity Islandand Mr Carbonator are partnered by previous winners of this race and are respected accordingly. However, neither looks particularly well handicapped, so it may also be worth taking a look at how the market reacts to Almunther, who was second in a division of this race last year. He'll be a threat if he has shrugged off what was troubling him at Pontefract last time. Heirslookingatyou also appeals for a place.
