Fast And Furious⁹⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: J D Bethell| OR: 75| D

50/1

Only outing since juvenile campaign saw him finish tailed off here in February 2017. Impossible to know what, if any talent remains, and best watched on return from another lengthy absence.

Form: 101940/

Magical Spirit⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 77| DWS

7/2

Won off a 6lb lower mark at Ripon in June, and has had wind surgery since disappointing twice since. Easy enough to see him bouncing back, but does need to improve on form if he's to defy his current mark.

Form: 1-22165

Buccaneers Vault¹⁰^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 71| CD

2/1

C&D winner who has hit form with a vengeance of late, landing 6f handicaps at Thirsk and Redcar on his last two starts. Not at all badly treated under a 4lb penalty for latest win, and should make a bold bid to bring up the hat-trick.

Form: 675511

Epeius^v⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 73| CD

7/1

Has won three times over C&D this season, and back to form with a couple of runners-up medals at Hamilton on recent runs. Edging up the weights, though, and never won off a mark this high.

Onebaba¹¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 73| BF

5/1

Both handicap runs have come over 1m in a visor, finishing sixth at Windsor and Chelmsford. Has since left Michael Bell quite cheaply, and could find this trip on the sharp side on debut for new connections.

Form: 0-6366

Final Go²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 70| D

6/1

Made an encouraging return at Ripon in May, but has disappointed since, albeit possibly in need of the run when seventh of 16 at Thirsk last time. Others have stronger credentials.

Form: 17-2057

Stewardess²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68| D

14/1

On the same mark as when winning at Nottingham in the summer, but three runs since have been dreadful, and she has plenty to prove at present.

Form: 541000

Almurr¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 70| D

33/1

Seems badly out of sorts this year, and no sign of a turnaround when sixth of 9 to Buccaneers Vault at Redcar last time, typically starting tardily.

Form: 507706

Raspberry⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: Olly Williams| OR: 68| D

40/1

Much better effort in handicaps when ¾L second of 7 to Sapphire Jubilee over 5f here (AW debut) last month. Form is rather patchy, though, and she must prove she can build on that promise here.

Forecasts

Buccaneers Vault (2/1), Magical Spirit (7/2), Onebaba (5/1), Global Hope (5/1), Final Go (6/1), Epeius (7/1), Oriental Lilly (12/1), Stewardess (14/1), Almurr (33/1), Raspberry (40/1), Fast And Furious (50/1)

BUCCANEER's VAULT is on a hat-trick after a pair of turf wins, and he is just as potent on Tapeta, so makes most appeal in an ordinary contest for the grade. Epeius tends to give his running here, and has solid place claims for all his current mark is stiff enough, while Oriental Lilly is another who could get involved assuming a busy recent schedule hasn't left a mark on her.
