Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: D Tudhope| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 69| D

13/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2019 but has hinted at a revival of late, doing too much too soon when eighth of 16 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Worth considering.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 69

100/1

Last of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 33/1). Off 10 months with plenty to prove so others appeal more.

(2)

Another Angel³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 69| CD

6-time C&D winner but (66/1) only tenth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 39 days ago. Others preferred on this occasion.

Royal Brave³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: T Eaves| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 67| CD

28/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2018, and (14/1) only sixth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 35 days ago. C&D winner so not totally dismissed off reduced mark.

Form: 675456

Dandizette⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 67| D

33/1

Yet to hit form since the restart, only twelfth of 13 in handicap (40/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 57 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 526-890

(11)

Ustath²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 65| D

10/1

25/1 and blinkered, last of 10 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good) 23 days ago. Fair 5f winner in 2019 but needs to bounce back.

Form: 10-0070

(7)

Boudica Bay²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Rachel Richardson| T: E J Alston| OR: 64| D

8/1

Latest win at Redcar in June and largely in good form since, fourth of 9 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, good) 20 days ago, nearest finish. Merits consideration.

Form: 510674

(5)

Rapid Russo¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 65| D

14/1

Form rather hit and miss since resumption, below-par seventh of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Catterick (6f) 17 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with bit to prove.

Form: 7-76727

(14)

Wade's Magic^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62| BF| D

3/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in August and good second off 6 lb higher there 11 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Solid claims off unchanged mark.

Form: 3-00212

(4)

Not On Your Nellie⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 62| D

18/1

Right back on song of late, scoring cosily in 5f handicap at Ripon 41 days ago. Up 4 lb and yet to prove he goes on tapeta but still quite low mileage so not dismissed.

Form: 6-04421

(13)

Hawk In The Sky²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Phil Dennis| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 60| D

28/1

Signed off for 2019 with 5f Catterick win but has resumed with two poor efforts, sixteenth of 19 in handicap at Thirsk (6f) 25 days ago. Risky proposition at present.

Form: 7401-00

(10)

Obee Jo^p³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60

25/1

Has failed to build on encouraging reappearance fourth at Wolverhampton, modest seventh of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces back on but hard to enthuse over.

Form: 866-467

(6)

Youneverletmedown^b1⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jessica Cooley⁽⁷⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 60| CD

28/1

C&D winner but (9/1) last of 9 in 6f handicap at Redcar 5 days ago. Blinkers on now with questions to answer.

Form: 674459

Forecasts

Be Proud (2/1), Wade's Magic (3/1), Dapper Man (13/2), Boudica Bay (8/1), Ustath (10/1), Rapid Russo (14/1), Not On Your Nellie (18/1), Another Angel (25/1), Obee Jo (25/1), Royal Brave (28/1), Hawk In The Sky (28/1), Youneverletmedown (28/1), Dandizette (33/1), Mutawaffer (100/1)

Marginal preference is for WADE'S MAGIC who has really found his form of late and should find this stiff track very much to his liking after rattling home late for second at Wolverhampton last time. Be Proud is always to be feared here so is sure to push Tim Easterby's 3-y-o close, while Not On Your Nellie is another with a decent shout if handling the synthetic surface.
