Glengarry⁴²

15/2

C&D winner on heavy last autumn. Better than ever when getting his head back in front at Haydock (7f again) last month. Only nudged up 3 lb and ought to go well again.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 78

17/2

Winning return at Thirsk in June. Not in the same form at York since but he is less exposed than these rivals and could bounce straight back.

Form: 1746-10

50/1

Course winner. Good second of 11 in handicap at Chester (6f, good to soft) in refitted cheekpieces (retained) 5 days ago. Return to 7f no problem.

Forecasts

Redrosezorro (10/3), Canford's Joy (6/1), Rux Ruxx (7/1), Zip (15/2), Dancing Rave (15/2), Proud Archi (8/1), Commanche Falls (17/2), Twin Appeal (10/1), Parys Mountain (11/1), Right Action (16/1), Glengarry (22/1), Glory of Paris (50/1), Big Storm Coming (66/1)

Several possibilities in this wide-open handicap. RUX RUXX is 1 lb lower than when scoring over C&D last autumn and gets the nod after taking a step back in the right direction last time. Zip, another with C&D winning form, Twin Appeal and last week's Chester runner-up Canford's Joy head the many possible dangers.
