Andersons 'Denton Holme' Handicap (Div 2)

Off time: 15:25 | Winning time: 1m 16.09s

(5)

Flint Said No³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 69

8/1

Six-race maiden's best run to date came over this C&D on soft ground but not far off that level on quicker ground last time. Return to this trip should help and well handicapped. Leading contender.

Form: 4628-83

(10)

Ninjago^v¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 67| BF| CD

11/2

Placed on all three starts since winning over the C&D in July and now 7lb higher. Still remains well enough handicapped on old form and likely he'll be involved again.

Form: 121232

(11)

Penny Pot Lane^p²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 66| D

9/2

Winner off 3lb lower at Pontefract in June and matched that form when a narrow second over the same C&D last time. Has gone close here in the past and likely she can go well again.

Form: 616442

Hic Bibi¹¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁵⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 66| D

11/1

Gained back-to-back wins at Chelmsford (AW) and Wetherby in May but well below that at Goodwood off her revised mark the following month. Can go well fresh although high enough in the weights now.

Form: 437117

(6)

Shepherd's Purse¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 62| D

9/1

Infrequent winner managed to end a lengthy losing run off this mark at Ayr in June. Hasn't matched that level since while proving inconsistent. Others look more reliable contenders.

Form: 447409

(2)

I Know How^b1²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: K Stott| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 58| D

15/2

Yet to add to last year's maiden win and his last two runs, including following wind surgery, have been well below par. Easy to look elsewhere for now.

Form: 0-76308

(8)

Newstead Abbey^p²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 57| D

50/1

Gained AW win number seven in February but his last turf win came in 2015. Has run out of form on his last three performances and best watched on turf for now.

Form: 714760

(3)

Night Law^b²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Phil Dennis| T: K Scott| OR: 56| D

7/1

Gained back-to-back successes over 6f at Catterick on just her third and fourth starts for new yard. Up another 5lb and in grade but the blinkers have reignited her and she's well handicapped on old form. Rates a leading hope.

Form: 07-0011

(7)

Suitcase 'n' Taxi²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 56| CD

12/1

Former C&D winner has two wins at the track but despite rapidly falling mark, he's proved inconsistent this year. Capable of being involved but proving hard to predict.

Form: 083640

(9)

Round The Island⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: B A Curtis| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 54| D

4/1

His last four victories have come at Pontefract but was disappointing there last time. Falling to a very attractive mark now but does need to bounce back.

Form: 498855

Forecasts

Round The Island (4/1), Penny Pot Lane (9/2), Ninjago (11/2), Night Law (7/1), I Know How (15/2), Flint Said No (8/1), Kolossus (8/1), Shepherd's Purse (9/1), Hic Bibi (11/1), Suitcase 'n' Taxi (12/1), Bugler Bob (12/1), Newstead Abbey (50/1)

Flint Said No is lightly raced and on a good mark at a track that suits, so holds every chance of breaking his maiden tag. Ninjago and Penny Pot Lane are in fine fettle and it's hard to rule either out. In an open race narrow preference is for NIGHT LAW who remains well handicapped and her new stable have worked wonders to get her back to form and she's taken to land the hat-trick.
