Canford Bay¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 80| CD

9/2

C&D winner here in July. Seventh of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 13 days ago, fading a touch final 1f. Not one to write off on balance.

Laith Alareen^t²⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Jane Elliott| T: I Furtado| OR: 75| D

22/1

50/1, last of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) back in November. Went the wrong way from his reappearance last year and would need to see market support to make him of interest on return.

Form: 11/5800-

Dark Shot^b⁸^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: S Dixon| OR: 69| D

10/3

Won 13-runner handicap at Southwell (5f, 9/1) 8 days ago, edging ahead near the line. Effective on turf and no reason why he won't go well with a repeat.

Form: 4-09001

Fox Hill⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rachel Richardson| T: E J Alston| OR: 72| CD

5/4

C&D winner. Latest win at Thirsk in June. 7/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Haydock (5f, soft) 4 days ago. Can give a good account again.

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: K Stott| T: P A Kirby| OR: 68| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2019. Visored for 1st time, 5¼ lengths fifth of 7 to Canford Bay in handicap at this C&D (good, 18/1) 48 days ago.

Gamesome¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 8-6| J: Barry McHugh| T: P T Midgley| OR: 65| D

7/1

Latest win at Haydock in July. Creditable tenth of 16 in handicap (20/1) at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago, left poorly placed. Not discounted but he does need things to fall just right.

Forecasts

Fox Hill (5/4), Thegreatestshowman (3/1), Dark Shot (10/3), Canford Bay (9/2), Gamesome (7/1), Alsvinder (11/1), Laith Alareen (22/1)

An open-looking sprint handicap despite the small field with a chance taken on THEGREATESTSHOWMAN. Amy Murphy's charge was quickly back to form on the back of his effort in the Great St Wilfrid when fourth at Newmarket recently and he appeals as being on a workable mark. Dark Shot and Fox Hill head up the dangers.
