Rousayan^h¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 87| D

16/1

Without a win this season, but best run came on this sort of surface. Handicapper has cut him some slack and he is now only 2lb higher than his last winning mark.

Form: 872708

Tadaawol⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 85| CD

16/1

Redcar winner over this distance last month, but has not been so good in two subsequent outings over 1m and 6f. Return to this trip a plus, but handicap mark remains high.

Form: 596180

Rebel Assault³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 87| C| D

10/1

Winner of a handicap over this distance at Musselburgh in August. Not in the same form since, but is back down to that winning mark and is dangerous to dismiss.

Proud Archi²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 84| D

7/1

Successful twice off lower ratings this season and finished in mid-division on latest run at Ayr. Stable has gone a little quiet, but he cannot be ruled out.

Form: 712147

Parys Mountain^h,t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76

7/2

Best run for some time when a good third of 15 over C&D on latest outing. Runs off the same mark and should figure if taking another step forward.

Form: 035903

Our Charlie Brown¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| CD

6/1

Stable companion of Parys Mountain and was well behind him over C&D last time. Down 2lb, but has plenty to prove as he bids to repeat last year's success in this race.

Weld Al Emarat^b1²²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 72

4/1

Only win came on debut way back in December, 2014. Has shaped well in three of his four starts this season, latterly at Pontefract, and is down to a career-low mark in first-time blinkers.

Form: 98-3284

Penny Pot Lane¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 68

25/1

Nottingham winner over 6f in August and two runs since have been on the AW. Returns to turf 3lb higher than when last successful and has to cope with longer trip.

Form: 553156

Showboating²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 8-8| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Balding| OR: 67| CD

9/1

Approaching the veteran stage and losing streak has become a lengthy one. Not running too badly of late, but is clearly vulnerable.

Form: 685535

Inviolable Spirit¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 72| D

5/1

Mixed bag in handicaps this season, but ran respectably at Musselburgh recently. Down 2lb and is only 1lb higher than when scoring on heavy ground at Leicester in April. Fair claims.

Forecasts

Parys Mountain (7/2), Weld Al Emarat (4/1), Inviolable Spirit (5/1), Our Charlie Brown (6/1), Mujassam (6/1), Proud Archi (7/1), Showboating (9/1), Rebel Assault (10/1), Tadaawol (16/1), Rousayan (16/1), Penny Pot Lane (25/1), Luzum (25/1)

Stable companions Rousayan and Mujassam have slipped to appealing marks and need to be considered, but preference is for three-year-olds Luzum, Rebel Assault and INVIOLABLE SPIRIT. The latter is only 1lb higher than when successful in April and handles cut in the ground. Parys Mountain and Weld Al Emarat are others to note.
