Ezanak^v¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 61

10/1

Has to prove conclusively he stays this far and can be keen. This represents a drop in class but not at best so far this term.

Form: 460056

(1)

Make Good^b,t⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁵⁾| T: David Dennis| OR: 60

10/1

Yet to race beyond 1m4f and best form this season on the AW. Well beaten over hurdles when last seen in May and others preferred.

Form: 732266

(16)

Seaborough^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rhona Pindar⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 60| C

20/1

Placed twice over 1m2f this season but yet to race beyond 1m3f and needs to improve for the extra 3f here to trouble the best of these.

Form: 548280

(11)

Airplane¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60

7/1

Pontefract third over 1m4f in May would put him in the mix but not as good in two runs since and sole try at this trip didn't convince he stayed it.

Form: 4-08376

(6)

Bogardus¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: L Bailey| OR: 57| C

9/1

Sprang a 28/1 shock at Carlisle last August off a higher mark but well below that form in three runs this term though did win on sole previous run here in 2016 (1m2f) so hopes rest on return to venue inspiring him.

Form: 434-907

(8)

Affair⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Charlie Bennett| T: H Morrison| OR: 52| D

8/1

Didn't see out 2m on latest and although she knows how to win, isn't the easiest to predict. Partnered by rider tonight seeking first career win.

Form: 31-7046

(10)

Normandy Blue¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: J Quinn| T: L Allan| OR: 52

14/1

Still a maiden but ran creditable latest when third at 50/1 over 1m4f. Stays this far and a repeat effort would put him in the shake up.

Form: 395843

(9)

Banta Bay¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J R Best| OR: 51| D

12/1

Off the mark at the 27th attempt at Lingfield in May and then did too much too soon when tailed off at Bath last time. Claims if that run is forgiven.

Form: 224610

(5)

The Fiddler²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: George Wood| T: C F Wall| OR: 50

5/1

Still a maiden but Wetherby third over 2m on penultimate start would make him of interest but failed to build on that when disappointing at Kempton since.

Form: U58-738

(7)

Lazarus^t⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: David Egan| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 50

16/1

Won a claiming hurdle at Huntingdon in the autumn but has been really struggling under both codes of late and needs to bounce back to figure here.

Form: 70-9960

(15)

Roser Moter^p1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 48

40/1

Wolverhampton win over a year ago but has lost her way first for Dan Skelton and shown little since joining current yard. Not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 857-900

(2)

Artic Nel¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: M Dwyer| T: Ian Williams| OR: 45| CD

5/1

Well backed when taking this a year ago off the same mark and not disgraced when second to in-form rival at the track on penultimate start. This venue seems to bring out the best in her and looks set to feature again.

Form: 545-025

(13)

Sir Fred³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 45

10/1

Found 1m3f too sharp on latest and return to this trip will help. Relatively low mileage and has shown bits of form to make him of some interest back at this trip.

Form: 6396-75

(12)

Seventii²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 45| BF

14/1

Sole win was gained nearly two years ago. Has looked on recent efforts as though a return to this trip is now what she wants and could improve on what she has shown of late.

Form: 053365

(14)

Everlasting Sea⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: W S Kittow| OR: 45

50/1

Poor form and no better for a breathing operation. Hard to make a case for from 6lb out of the handicap.

Form: 83/40-00

Foresee¹²

Weight: 9-3| Age: 6

T: A W Carroll J: Tom Marquand

Forecasts

The Fiddler (5/1), Artic Nel (5/1), Foresee (6/1), Airplane (7/1), Affair (8/1), Bogardus (9/1), Make Good (10/1), Sir Fred (10/1), Ezanak (10/1), Banta Bay (12/1), Seventii (14/1), Normandy Blue (14/1), Lazarus (16/1), Seaborough (20/1), Roser Moter (40/1), Everlasting Sea (50/1)

A really weak contest and a fair chance that last years winner ARTIC NEL may get back on the winning trail at a track she seems to reserve her best for. Bogardus is another for whom the return here may help and the handicapper has given him a chance if that proves to be the case. Foresee is dangerous in this grade if in the mood and looks best of the rest.
