Highland Acclaim^h¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Liam Keniry| T: D O'Meara| OR: 84| D

11/1

Winner over 7f at Epsom last month, but not to that level of form in two recent runs on the AW. Return to turf should suit and handicap mark is feasible.

Form: 749166

(10)

Buccaneers Vault⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley| OR: 77| D

10/1

Back to form over this distance on the AW at Newcastle last week. Turned out under a 6lb penalty and turf record is fine.

Form: 856041

(9)

Yes You¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 82| D

6/1

Fair record of 7-24 with his latest win coming at Thirsk last month. Out of the frame in three runs since, but handicap mark is inching back down.

Form: 251408

(2)

Bossipop^b¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80| D

10/1

Narrow Chester winner at the start of last month, and is back down to the same rating after some ordinary efforts over 5f. Chance if replicating that Chester display.

Form: 109036

Russian Realm⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 79| D

11/2

Second to stable companion Buccaneers Vault at Newcastle and repposes on 2lb better terms for a 1¼L beating. Each-way claims.

Form: 906602

Requinto Dawn^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 79| C

9/1

Winner over 5f at this venue in May and finds himself on a 5lb lower mark. Recent displays have been underwhelming, however.

Form: 227800

(12)

Guardia Svizzera^h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 78| CD

16/1

C&D success among a hat-trick of wins in August, but last two runs off higher marks have been most disappointing. Needs to produce his best to figure off this rating.

Form: 211100

(3)

Airglow^h¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 78

6/1

Back to form when runner-up in a recent 5f handicap at Nottingham. Unproven over this longer trip, but is feasibly weighted for last year's winning stable.

Form: 151502

(6)

Van Gerwen⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: P J McDonald| T: J L Eyre| OR: 75| D

5/1

Scored over 5f at Beverley last month and went close again over that distance at Pontefract last time. Competes off the same mark, but suspicion lurks that 6f stretches his stamina.

Form: 961772

(8)

Indian Pursuit^v²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 72| CD

16/1

Back-to-back wins over C&D and at Chelmsford last month, but held off higher marks since. May be in the handicapper's grip for the time being.

Form: 151140

(11)

Handsome Dude^b¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: J Fanning| T: T D Barron| OR: 70| D

10/1

Succession of poor runs before producing an improved display to finish third over C&D recently. Down 2lb and has claims if taking another step forward.

Form: 000003

(7)

Lucky Beggar¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: J F Egan| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 65| CD

28/1

On a long, losing streak and handicap mark has fallen in line with that lack of success. Not disgraced over C&D last time and is 3lb lower.

Form: 330564

Forecasts

Van Gerwen (5/1), Russian Realm (11/2), Airglow (6/1), Yes You (6/1), Requinto Dawn (9/1), Buccaneers Vault (10/1), Bossipop (10/1), Handsome Dude (10/1), Highland Acclaim (11/1), Indian Pursuit (16/1), Guardia Svizzera (16/1), Lucky Beggar (28/1)

Highland Acclaim is respected on his return to turf and Handsome Dude can get involved if building on an improved recent display, but this may be fought out by stable companions Russian Realm and BUCCANEERS VAULT, with the latter fancied to confirm recent Newcastle placings. Bossipop has prospects off his current mark.
