Show Palace³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: J Candlish| OR: 75| D

4/1

Experienced sprinter who has been successful twice in his last five starts, with his most recent victory coming at Nottingham over this distance. Could only finish ninth of 11 last time at Haydock (5f). Can't be discounted.

Form: 718139

Jewel Maker⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73

15/8

Scored on just the second start of his career at Cork (7f) but has failed to add to his tally since then. Was just a neck away last time at Redcar (5f). Has gone up just 3lb for that near miss. Leading contender.

Form: 456872

Militia²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70| D

7/2

Landed his first win of the year in a big runner field at Ayr over this trip on his latest start. Has been raised 5lb by the handicapper but he is capable of much more so he has to be considered to follow up.

B Fifty Two^p,t¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 8-11| J: Nick Barratt-Atkin⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 65| D

20/1

Scored over 6f at Catterick last time. Went close to another win for the year on his latest appearance at Ripon (6f) where he was second of seven. Others appeal more here as he returns to 5f.

Economic Crisis¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 8-10| J: T Eaves| T: A Berry| OR: 64| CD

20/1

Has won over this C&D five times, with her latest success here coming back in August. She has been below her best on her last two starts, including when she was fifth of seven at Musselburgh (5f) last time. Needs to bounce back.

Our Place In Loule²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Phil Dennis| T: N Wilson| OR: 62| CD

33/1

Has been successful three times over this C&D. His recent form has been very disappointing though. He has been a long way down the field on his latest three starts. Very difficult to make a case for.

Boudica Bay¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Jason Hart| T: E J Alston| OR: 62| CD

9/2

A three-time C&D winner who really enjoys running at this track. He was also second of seven over this C&D last time out, beaten 4L in a seven runner contest. Remains off the mark here. One to consider.

Astrophysics^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 59| CD

10/1

Took advantage of his handicap mark to score over this C&D last time out where he scored by 2¼L. Has gone up 5lb for that win but he has won off a much higher mark. One for the shortlist.

Forecasts

Jewel Maker (15/8), Militia (7/2), Show Palace (4/1), Boudica Bay (9/2), Gamesome (6/1), Ninjago (15/2), Astrophysics (10/1), Desert Ace (10/1), B Fifty Two (20/1), Economic Crisis (20/1), Our Place In Loule (33/1)

JEWEL MAKER was second over this distance at Redcar on his latest start, beaten by just a neck, but he can make up for that here as he is running well so the 3lb rise in the weights is not a concern. Boudica Bay can never be ruled out over this C&D and should once again give a good account of himself here, while Militia scored nicely last time out and can be competitive once again. from his latest mark.
