Dance King^p,t⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| CD

12/1

C&D winner who has dropped below his last winning handicap mark and put up a smart effort when fourth of 17 at York last time out. Ground no issue here but the wide draw is off putting.

Form: 800554

C Note^t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: H Main| OR: 85

20/1

Has been well below par this year on turf. Produced a slightly better effort at York last time but draw wide here and others preferred.

Armandihan^p³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 85| BF| C

7/2

Wide margin winner here over 1m4f in August and only narrowly denied at Thirsk last month. Well beaten at Ayr last time out on heavy ground and his best effort have come on a quicker surface than what he will get here.

Form: 244120

Lord Of The Rock^h⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: T Hamilton| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 83| BF

16/1

Won three times for Michael Dods but showed very little for Jedd O'Keefe. Produced a better effort on debut for this yard last time though and there could be more to come over this sort of trip.

Form: 086504

Fast Dancer¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: J Tuite| OR: 83| D

25/1

Just four wins from 42 starts but back on his last winning mark and put up his best effort since the start of the campaign at Nottingham last time. Draw may have scuppered his chance here though.

Form: 283863

Stonific^p1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81| D

33/1

Won twice earlier in the campaign but has lost his way a little since. Back on his last winning mark and ground no issue so can't be ruled out if first-time cheekpieces spark a revival.

Form: 626060

Wajaaha²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Dane O'Neill| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 84| BF

9/2

Has shown plenty of promise in a trio of starts on AW, most recently when runner-up at Kempton in October. That looked like a decent contest and the assessor has given him a chance on handicap debut.

Form: 3-22

(3)

Deja³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 84| D

7/2

Won a maiden for Jeremy Noseda and impressive on debut for this yard at Chester when making it two wins from three starts. Needs more to defy this mark but less exposed than the remainder of his rivals.

Form: 51-1

(10)

Dark Devil^p³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 79

20/1

Losing run starting to mount up now and while he's back below his last winning handicap mark, he's yet to win over this trip and he's a risky proposition at present.

Form: 274534

(2)

Framley Garth²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Paula Muir⁽⁵⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 79| D

9/1

Versatile with regards to conditions and found his form when joining this yard earlier in the campaign but the handicapper seemingly caught up with him. Still running well in defeat and can't be entirely ruled out, particularly for a place.

Form: 123645

Play It Cool⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: J L Eyre| OR: 78

20/1

Sole win came at Dundalk in November. Well beaten in two starts for this yard and while he's less exposed than most, he has a bit to prove at present.

Form: 312-50

(12)

Rayna's World²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: P A Kirby| OR: 82

33/1

Both her wins have come with plenty of cut in the ground but has been struggling on her last couple of starts and a mid season break didn't seem to work when she was well beaten at Haydock on return. Hard to fancy at present.

Form: 1-21397

(14)

Ghayyar^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 77

33/1

Has won twice since joining this yard and back on his last winning handicap mark but all his best efforts have come on better ground than what he's likely to get here. Others preferred.

Form: 195406

Dubai Empire³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 79

16/1

Won a maiden at Musselburgh in September but has looked poorly handicapped subsequently. Well beaten on AW debut last time and has a fair bit to prove at present.

Form: 6-34074

(8)

Quoteline Direct^h³²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Lauren Steade⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 74| CD

40/1

Two-time C&D winner, both those successes in July this year but the handicapper has caught up with him since and he's at his best on quicker ground.

Form: 211246

(4)

Ingenuity¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 76

12/1

Showed plenty as a juvenile but has struggled to hold his form this year. Steps up to this trip for the first time an needs to improve.

Form: 2-33636

(9)

Jo's Girl¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Nathan Evans| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 70| C

16/1

Sole win in 12 starts came here over 1m on his second start for this yard and ran to a similar level here last time when fourth of 15 and not beaten far. Clearly well suited to this venue and has place claims again.

Form: 76-1674

Forecasts

Deja (7/2), Armandihan (7/2), Wajaaha (9/2), Framley Garth (9/1), Dance King (12/1), Ingenuity (12/1), Jo's Girl (16/1), Lord Of The Rock (16/1), Dubai Empire (16/1), C Note (20/1), Dark Devil (20/1), Play It Cool (20/1), Fast Dancer (25/1), Ghayyar (33/1), Stonific (33/1), Rayna's World (33/1), Quoteline Direct (40/1)

LORD OF THE ROCK gave the impression a return to form may be imminent on debut for his new yard last time and he's unexposed at this sort of trip. Wajaaha and Deja have less miles on the clock than most in here and could be the main dangers.
