Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 72| CD

6/4

Has been successful over this C&D on both of his last two starts. He stayed on strongly inside the last 2f to work his way through the field to get up by 2L on his last run. Has gone up 8lb for his latest success. Big player again.

Has finished second over this distance at Carlisle on both of his last two starts. His last success came on heavy ground at Carlisle back in May over 5f. Has gone up 2lb but is running well so can't be ignored.

Red Pike¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 71

11/2

On a losing stretch which goes back to August 2015. Was much better last time when third of seven at Carlisle (5f) after going off at 20/1. Down 1lb since last run. Has to be respected off this latest career low mark.

Form: 37-2903

Gamesome¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 70| D

14/1

Experienced gelding who has been in the best form of his career recently. Was successful over this trip at Thirsk two starts back, while on his most recent outing, he prevailed at Carlisle over the same distance. Up 2lb. Leading contender.

Suwaan^h¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 67| D

5/1

Won twice in the early stages of his career but has not been able to add to that over the last couple of years. Was a close fourth off 11 last time at Carlisle (5f) behind Gamesome. Others make more of an appeal.

Form: 4-27934

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: J Quinn| T: S R Bowring| OR: 60| D

10/1

Both of his wins so far have come on the AW at Newcastle over this distance. Was third of 14 last time at Newcastle over 6f. Has struggled recently on turf so he has to try and transfer some of his AW form across here.

Four Wheel Drive²¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: G Lee| T: D H Brown| OR: 64

50/1

Remains a maiden after 10 races. Did show some promise at Mussleburgh (5f) at the back end of last year when fourth of 10. Has struggled on his two AW starts since then. First run for new yard. Needs to improve.

Burtonwood²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 59| CD

12/1

A C&D winner here who has been way below his best this year. Was fifth of eight last time at Doncaster (5f). Remains off the same mark so will need to improve to be in the frame. He is capable of more though.

Form: 17-4905

Moonlit Sands⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: B Ellison| OR: 57| CD

16/1

Won over this C&D in a seller in May 2018. Has gone close on a couple of occasions since then but his recent form has been poor. Was seventh of 14 over this C&D last time when going off at 50/1. Others preferred.

Forecasts

Ginger Jam (6/4), Suwaan (5/1), Red Pike (11/2), Afandem (11/2), Debawtry (7/1), Decision Maker (10/1), Burtonwood (12/1), Gamesome (14/1), Gorgeous General (14/1), Moonlit Sands (16/1), Desert Ace (33/1), Four Wheel Drive (50/1)

GINGER JAM has been in excellent form over this C&D here and he goes into this race on a hat-trick bid. This assignment will be tougher as he gone up 8lb, however, he is a sprinter who is worth sticking with so take him to complete his third success here in as many runs. The biggest challenge could come from Gamesome who is also looking for his third straight win following victories at Thirsk and Carlisle, respectively, while Afandem has been knocking on the door recently and should hit the frame again.
