Deeds Not Words^p⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: R Ffrench| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 57| D

25/1

Experienced gelding who has had 100 races now. Was successful twice on the AW earlier this year but has been unable to follow it up on turf. Could only finish eighth of 12 last time at Catterick (6f). Needs to bounce back.

Form: 580028

Dahik^b1⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: G C O'Neill⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 55

4/1

Yet to score since switching yards in 2018. Has yet to hit the frame this season, although he was better last time at Yarmouth (5f) where he was fifth of eight. Remains off the same mark but does have blinkers on for the first time. Each-way claims.

Form: 005-005

Alqaab^h¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 54

9/1

Lightly-raced gelding who has been disappointing on his last two outings, including latest at Thirsk (6f) where he was seventh of nine. Has been eased 3lb but does need to improve to be in the mix here.

Form: 509577

Lord Of The Glen⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 52

25/1

Is on a long losing stretch which goes back to February 2018. Has struggled for form this year. His latest outing was on the AW at Newcastle (5f) where he was eighth of 10. Has been dropped 2lb but others appeal more.

Form: 557798

Tavener^t³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: D Nolan| T: D Carroll| OR: 51| D

12/1

His sole victory in 2019 came on the AW at Lingfield (6f). Has struggled on his return to turf, with his latest run coming at Catterick (6f) where he had just two horses behind him in an 11 runner field. First run for new yard here. One to watch.

Sandytown⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Phil Dennis| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 50

33/1

Yet to prevail in six starts so far. Returned to action on turf at Doncaster (6f) where he was last of 11 after going off at 50/1. Has been eased 5lb but needs to take a huge step forward in order to be competitive at the finish here.

Form: 98/40-90

Tizwotitiz^h⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Hart| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 52

7/1

Still searching for his opening success after 15 starts. Has hit the frame on three occasions this season, including on his latest attempt at Nottingham (5f) where he was third of nine. Has deen dropped 2lb in the weights. Each-way claims.

Form: 243903

Grimsdyke¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 52| BF| CD

9/2

Was a winner over this C&D two starts back. Went close to following up last time at Thirsk over the same distance where he was second of 15 after going off as the 4/1 favourite. Gone up 1lb but is a leading contender once again.

Form: 98-0712

Jessinamillion^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: P Hanagan| T: J D Bethell| OR: 49| D

12/1

His sole success came at Hamilton (6f) in September 2017. Has had just the two appearances this year where he has been well held on both occasions. He was ninth of 16 last time at Ripon (1m). Needs to improve off this 2lb lower mark.

Form: 3080-89

(16)

Hey Jazzy Lady¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: D Allan| T: A Crook| OR: 50

50/1

Has shown very little in her seven racecourse appearances. Returned to action after almost a year off to finish 13th of 15 at Thirsk (6f). Hard to fancy on the evidence of what she has produced so far.

Form: 40500-0

Dalness Express^t⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁷⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 47| D

5/1

Is 0-11 on turf but he has scored on the AW. He has been second on three occasions this season. He was ninth of 13 last time at Chepstow (7f). Down 2lb. One to consider here on his first run for his new yard.

Form: 822889

Jessie Allan¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Corey Madden⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45| CD

16/1

Is on a long losing sequence which goes back to July 2018. Went close at Ayr (6f) three starts back where she was only ¾L away when third of 12. Has been well held on her last two runs. Each-way claims off this mark.

Form: 048374

Caledonian Gold¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

28/1

Yet to score after 57 races, however, she has not been far away on her last two starts, including latest at Thirsk (6f) where she was fourth of nine. She is down 6lb where she has to be respected off this latest mark.

Form: 800044

Nifty Niece²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: J Fanning| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 45| D

16/1

Was a winner at Catterick over this distance last year. Produced her best run of the season so far last time at Redcar (6f) when 2½L away in fifth place of 16. Has been eased 5lb in the weights. Each-way chance.

Form: 009-085

Epaulini^p1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: M Dods| OR: 48

14/1

Remains a maiden after eight starts. Was third of eight on his latest attempt at Leicester (7f), albeit 12L away from the winner. Down 2L and dropping in trip. Needs to improve and others stand out more.

Forecasts

Dahik (4/1), Grimsdyke (9/2), Dalness Express (5/1), Ticks The Boxes (6/1), Tizwotitiz (7/1), Alqaab (9/1), Ad Vitam (10/1), Tavener (12/1), Jessinamillion (12/1), Epaulini (14/1), Magical Molly Joe (14/1), Nifty Niece (16/1), Jessie Allan (16/1), Deeds Not Words (25/1), Lord Of The Glen (25/1), Mitchum (25/1), Caledonian Gold (28/1), Sandytown (33/1), Hey Jazzy Lady (50/1), Yorkshire Rover (50/1)

GRIMSDYKE has been in great form over this distance on his last two starts where he has been successful over this C&D and then second at Thirsk. This 1lb rise in the weights is unlikely to stop him so take the gelding to record his second victory. Ticks The Boxes was not far away at Newcastle on the AW and should be in contention once again from the same mark, while Dalness Express is very capable of hitting the frame off this latest mark.
