Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 63| D

15/2

Winner on seasonal bow at Thirsk in April over this trip, hasn't really threatened since but another to be dropped in class here and could get involved.

Avenue Of Stars^v¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 63| D

3/1

Did well to finish second at Carlisle over this trip 12 days, having got off to a slow start. Can have a say here if breaking more alertly.

Guardia Svizzera^h¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Paula Muir⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 61| BF| C| D

5/1

Dual C&D winner has slipped markedly in the weights this year (well below his last winning mark). Produced his best effort of the season last time in a Thirsk selling handicap; not sure to be in same form (Engaged here on Sunday).

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60| D

6/1

Just held when beaten a head by Somewhere Secret in similar conditions at Haydock (6f, heavy) in June; nowhere near as productive since (mainly over further); place prospects if bouncing back to form.

Forever A Lady⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 58| D

11/1

Is now on a winnable mark but recent efforts must be improved upon if she is going to take advantage of it.

Kodicat^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 57| BF

15/2

Poor strike-rate (1-31) and recent Catterick run was a step in the wrong direction. Probably playing for places if bouncing back to form.

Form: 452337

Naples Bay¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Phil Dennis| T: K Scott| OR: 54| D

18/1

Narrow winner of an amateur riders race at Carlisle on penultimate run (first win for this trainer) but not as good as good back there since.

Carlovian^v¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: A Mullen| T: M Walford| OR: 54| D

12/1

Got back to winning ways when landing 12-runner handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Not renowned for consistency but will handle this ground and player if in same form.

Newstead Abbey^p¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 8-11| J: Jamie Gormley| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 54| D

40/1

Career record on turf reads 2-33, not in form in recent starts at Doncaster and Carlisle (50-1 chance both times) and hard to make case for here.

Form: 147608

Gilmer^b²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-6| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: Stef Keniry| OR: 49| CD

22/1

Winner of a C&D claimer in 2016, has also picked up a win in both years since but out of form recently. Drops back in trip and blinkers back on, could go well if finding his form.

I Know How¹²

T: Miss J A Camacho J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Avenue Of Stars (3/1), I Know How (7/2), Guardia Svizzera (5/1), Shortbackandsides (6/1), Kodicat (15/2), Lucky Beggar (15/2), Forever A Lady (11/1), Carlovian (12/1), Fumbo Jumbo (14/1), Naples Bay (18/1), Gilmer (22/1), Newstead Abbey (40/1)

A few of these arrive here in good heart. I Know How scored at Carlisle last time and is considered again despite being 5lb higher but AVENUE OF STARS might well have scored last time at that same venue bar a slow start. Karen Mclintock's charge runs from the same mark in this lower grade and can take advantage. Fumbo Jumbo and Carlovian are others with claims.
