Good Tidings¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

30/100

Looked green when third at Salisbury on debut but bettered that to win at Lingfield (1m2f) last time out. Still showed signs of inexperience but entitled to improve once again and hails from a top yard.

Form: 31

Spy Fi⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: J Garritty| T: J R Norton

250/1

Only a glimmer of ability shown in bumpers and was sent off a 150/1 shot when last of five in novice contest over 1m2f here last time. Readily opposed.

Form: 5

Abwab⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: G C O'Neill⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby

125/1

Wasn't expected to make an impact on debut and finished 18L sixth at Ripon (1m, good to firm) at the start of August. Unlikely to make an impact in this.

Form: 6

Final Orders^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 78

9/2

Has failed to go on since good second at Leicester on debut but showed glimmer of hope when 7L behind Good Tidings at Lingfield last time. Place claims but plenty to find with that rival.

Form: 243

Goobinator⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: D McCain Jnr

16/1

Hails from national hunt stable. Ran an excellent race on debut to finish third at Carlisle (1m1f, heavy) in August. Another step up needed in this company but not entirely discounted.

Form: 3

Lady Scatterley¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68

11/1

Rarely beaten far in handicap company this season and ran respectably when third in 1m4f Ripon novice last time. That looks a modest contest though so only has place claims.

Mother's Approach⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Fanning| T: G P Cromwell

22/1

Irish raider. Daughter of Dawn Approach who ran off the bend when seventh at Roscommon (1m2f) on her debut in August. Looks a quirky sort.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Good Tidings (30/100), Final Orders (9/2), Lady Scatterley (11/1), Goobinator (16/1), Mother's Approach (22/1), Wontgetfooledagen (66/1), Abwab (125/1), Spy Fi (250/1)

GOOD TIDINGS looked a horse who has a real scope of ability courtesy of his win at Lingfield last time. He may have showed signs of inexperience but the more racing will only help his cause and looks to have a class edge over his rivals. Final Orders was well behind him that day but has a 7lb pull at the weights this time around, while Goobinator remains an unexposed sort who should have wins in him in time.
