Hummingbird⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: D Loughnane| OR: 57

20/1

Broke her maiden last time out at Catterick (6f) where she scored by ¾L in an 11 runner contest. Will need to concede weight all round here as she steps up in trip but she was staying on strongly in her win. Big player.

Form: 060001

Bobby Joe Leg^v1¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 55| C

7/1

Scored twice in his opening four starts on the track but has not added to his tally since. He has been well held recently, including when he was seventh of 10 here (1m½f) last time out. Down 3lb and a visor is on for the first time. Best to watch.

Form: 556807

Brigand^p1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Joey Haynes| T: J Butler| OR: 55| D

11/2

Was successful for the second time in his career at Chelmsford (7f) back in July. Finished second over this C&D two runs ago, beaten by just ½L. Remains off a workable mark and cheekpieces are on for the first time. One for the shortlist.

Brockey Rise^b¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: B A Curtis| T: P D Evans| OR: 55| CD

9/2

Has been successful three times this year, with his latest success coming here over 6f. His form has dipped recently, including latest where he was 10th of 13 at Windsor (6f). Up in trip but is a C&D winner. Needs to bounce back.

Ishebayorgrey^h¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: T Eaves| T: I Jardine| OR: 55| D

7/2

Experienced gelding who is looking for his first success since January 2018. He has hit the frame on a number of occasions this year. His latest run came at Newcastle (7f) where he was fourth of 14. One to consider from this latest mark.

Mercury^p,t²¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: S Hanlon| OR: 49| C| D

14/1

Has been out of form this year, particularly on his last two starts. He was last of 14 runners at Dundalk (6f) on his most recent ouring. Set for his opening run for his new yard here and cheekpieces are on for the first time. Best to watch.

Form: 52-5600

Satchville Flyer¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Philip Prince| T: J M Bradley| OR: 47| D

80/1

Is on a long losing stretch which goes back to May 2018. He could only finish seventh of 11 over this C&D on his latest effort. Down to a career low mark now. Needs to try and return to form.

Chop Chop¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 51

100/1

Remains a maiden after 10 starts. Hit the frame on a couple of occasions over the summer, however, her recent form has been poor. She was 10th of 14 on her last outing at Kempton (1m). Drops down 2lb but she needs to improve.

Form: 338600

Maisie Moo⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: S L Keightley| OR: 54| D

11/4

Broke her maiden on her penultimate start at Kempton (1m) where she justified going off as the 10/3 favourite to prevail by a neck. Raced too keenly last time which resulted in her coming home last of 12 here (1m½f). Capable if she settles better.

Form: 605410

Peters Pudding^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 55

125/1

Is 0-16 on the track. Returned to action over this C&D last month for the first time since April but he could only finish seventh of eight. Has been eased 3lb in the weights but he will need to take a big stride forward.

Form: 784407

Sweet Forgetme Not^t,v⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 52

22/1

Scored for the first time at Yarmouth (6f) two starts back. Was unable to follow up at Chelmsford (7f) last time as she was fourth of six runners. Remains off the same mark so she does need to find more.

Forecasts

Maisie Moo (11/4), Ishebayorgrey (7/2), Brockey Rise (9/2), Brigand (11/2), Bobby Joe Leg (7/1), Coffeemeanscoffee (7/1), Mercury (14/1), Hummingbird (20/1), Sweet Forgetme Not (22/1), Satchville Flyer (80/1), Chop Chop (100/1), Peters Pudding (125/1)

HUMMINGBIRD can add to her maiden success at Catterick last time out over this longer trip here. She finished her race strongly so this new distance should actually suit here. Ishebayorgrey is down to a career low mark now which gives him a great opportunity to be competitive here, while Brigand remains off a mark he can work with so take him to fill the placings on his latest effort at this course.
