Diamonique⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S A Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 74| BF| D

11/2

Kept very busy this month; already placed on successive days at Newcastle (5f, standard) and Musselburgh (5f, soft); enters the equation, albeit needs to find just a fraction more.

Form: 923332

Mr Buttons^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T Hamilton| T: Mrs L Stubbs| OR: 74| BF| D

5/1

Won on debut at Southwell (5f) for Richard Fahey in April 2018; regularly placed since but 0-6 for Linda Stubbs and vulnerable to anything remotely progressive.

Form: 262343

Timetodock^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 71| D

8/1

5lb higher than when a decisive winner at Catterick (5f, good to firm) three starts back; dropped out tamely at Doncaster latest, so needs to bounce swiftly back to form; adaptable in terms of ground conditions; stablemate of Autumn Flight.

Form: 152137

Four Wheel Drive^p⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: D H Brown| OR: 64| D

15/8

Posted a bold front-running display when finishing second on debut for this trainer (50-1) over C&D (good to firm) last month; took his chance when winning a 5f Ripon selling handicap (good to soft) last week; 4lb higher.

Form: 5499-21

(9)

Montalvan^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 66| BF

9/2

Deservedly off the mark after plenty of placed efforts when making all at Ripon (6f maiden handicap) in July; comfortably beaten at odds of 8-15f at Leicester just a few days later; drop back to 5f won't trouble.

Form: 742214

Swiss Connection^h1⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: R Ffrench| T: B Smart| OR: 64

22/1

All downhill since finishing 3L second to the Richard Spencer-trained Louis Treize in a 6f Newcastle novice last July; sports a first-time hood.

Form: 5278-00

Essenza¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 62

16/1

Won a 7f fillies' novice auction on Tapeta at Wolverhampton last December but has struggled to replicate that form on turf in 2019; easing in the weights but makes little appeal.

Form: 021-567

(5)

Autumn Flight^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61| D

8/1

Made virtually all when justifying favouritism at Hamilton (5f, soft) last September; 0-9 since and that initial promise is a fast fading memory; stablemate of Timetodock.

Form: 974475

Forecasts

Four Wheel Drive (15/8), Montalvan (9/2), Mr Buttons (5/1), Three Card Trick (5/1), Diamonique (11/2), Autumn Flight (8/1), Timetodock (8/1), Hawk In The Sky (14/1), Essenza (16/1), Swiss Connection (22/1)

A low-key and very winnable three-year-old sprint handicap. Diamonique makes her fourth start of the month and wouldn't need to find a great deal of improvement in order to return to winning ways for the Carluke handler Keith Dalgleish. Three Card Trick blew his chance at the start when a beaten odds-on favourite at Pontefract. Conversely, the selection FOUR WHEEL DRIVE has pinged the lids on both starts for David Brown and could take full advantage of the inside berth in a race which on paper appears to be no stronger than the selling handicap which he plundered last week at Ripon.
