Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 67| D

12/1

Step back in the right direction when sixth at Chelmsford last week when trying front running tactics. This a touch weaker and a bold run wouldn't surprise.

Gun Case^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: A C Whillans| OR: 66| D

10/1

Does all his AW running at Newcastle and back at his optimum trip now but still above last winning mark and high draw to overcome.

Fingal's Cave¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: P A Kirby| OR: 65| CD

20/1

Well treated if coming back to best and all his form is on a turning track but generally below par this term and others preferred.

Form: 078508

Canford's Joy^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 66

7/1

Hampered latest so that run can be ignored but does his racing at shorter so stamina to prove at 7f.

Newstead Abbey³²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 64| CD

6/1

Lots of course form and comes here off the back of a creditable third in a stronger race at Musselburgh where the runner up has boosted the form. Plum draw and looks a serious player.

Shamlan^t¹⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 61| CD

10/1

Off since June but has run well after a break before. Goes well here and one to note if the market is positive.

Majdool^e/s¹⁰^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: J Garritty| T: N Wilson| OR: 55| CD

9/4

Took advantage of a plummeting mark on this surface when bolting up over C&D last week. That was a weak race but is 2lb well in now and overcame similarly wide draw then.

Form: 743501

Pass The Cristal⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: F Norton| T: W R Muir| OR: 60| D

14/1

Hopes rest on a return to this venue having performed well when fourth in similar event in July but form otherwise this year has been very disappointing.

Form: 4-87048

Grey Destiny⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 59| CD

8/1

Plenty of course form including a pair of wins at this time last year. Without a win since though signs of a return to best at Newcastle a week ago.

Form: 335655

Peachey Carnehan^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 58| CD

16/1

Has the ability to play a part but has never been the easiest to predict and others preferred in this grade.

No Approval¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 58

20/1

Dual Dundalk winner this time last year but not so good since switch in yards though entitled to come on for his latest run after a break.

Form: 733400

(9)

Rockesbury^b¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: D Loughnane| OR: 56

12/1

Front-runner who won a Chester novice event with little depth to it and has been below par in a couple of goes since.

Form: 066167

Forecasts

Majdool (9/4), Newstead Abbey (6/1), Canford's Joy (7/1), Grey Destiny (8/1), Shamlan (10/1), Gun Case (10/1), Rockesbury (12/1), Sultan Baybars (12/1), Pass The Cristal (14/1), Peachey Carnehan (16/1), Fingal's Cave (20/1), No Approval (20/1)

NEWSTEAD ABBEY ticks quite a few boxes and is preferred to Majdool who has to be feared after his romp here a week ago. Sultan Baybars makes most appeal of the remainder.
