Western Dawn²³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 71

25/1

Early season progress appears to have leveled out a little in a couple of disappointing efforts recently. Leading ladies jockey, with over 40 career wins to her name in the last five years but is only three from 49 rides this term.

(12)

Firby¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Miss Rachel Taylor⁽⁷⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 66

33/1

Mixed messages in a number of starts over the summer. Well beaten and never a factor on most recent run at Doncaster last month and overall profile suggests that he is worth taking on again.

She's A Novelty¹³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Miss A Peck⁽⁵⁾| T: D L Williams| OR: 65

Glacier Fox^p1¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Miss Megan Jordan⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 62| D

66/1

Regressive sort in a number of starts toward the end of his time with trainer Tom Tate. Last of 13 on stable debut last month. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Forecasts

Gamesters Icon (2/1), Deinonychus (9/2), Luna Magic (9/1), Stormingin (10/1), Roudrapour (10/1), She's A Novelty (12/1), Bollin Ted (12/1), Don't Jump George (16/1), Bombero (20/1), Novelty Seeker (20/1), Spirit Of Sarwan (25/1), Western Dawn (25/1), Firby (33/1), Scrafton (50/1), Flight Officer (66/1), Glacier Fox (66/1)

The early pace of the David Loughnane-trained Glacier Fox could set the finale' up for a battle royale between the tough and genuine Bollin Ted, Luna Magic, who has finished in the first two in seven of her eight starts for current connections since July and the mud-loving winner of her last three starts GAMESTERS ICON. The four-year-old can get the better of her nearest pursuers with conditions very much in the daughter of Sixties Icon's favour here. C&D winner Deinonychus should not be taken lightly, while Don't Jump George could go well at a price.
