Teruntum Star^p³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: D Allan| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 87| D

10/1

Bagged another couple of sprint handicaps last year but possibly found race coming too soon in Stewards' Cup at Glorious Goodwood last month, finding less than looked likely.

Form: 1-00750

(12)

Tanasoq⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: P T Midgley| OR: 84| D

25/1

Plainly unsuited by the step back up in trip when well-beaten at Ripon 8 days ago. Peak form certainly gives him claims off this mark but one or two make more appeal on this occasion.

Form: 079540

Queen's Order^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Tudhope| T: K A Ryan| OR: 84| D

11/1

Left muted reappearance behind with pair of creditable placed efforts in July. Run best overlooked at York 18 days ago after missing break (tried to anticipate start) and she can go well here.

Form: 80-8337

Line Of Reason²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: P Hanagan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 82| BF| D

9/1

Snapped losing run at Newmarket (5f) in June and clearly on good terms with himself judged on his ¾-length fourth at this C&D 25 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Claims once again.

Form: 717524

Manshood^v²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 82| D

14/1

Winner at Hamilton in June and hasn't been disgraced in 3 starts since, fifth of 8 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good) just over 3 weeks ago. Visor goes back on and he's not without hope.

Form: 68-1265

Glory Fighter¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 82| D

14/1

Arrived on the back of a pair of wins at Chester and Haydock but seemed unsuited by conditions when well-beaten at Musselburgh a fortnight ago, missing break. Needs to bounce back from same mark.

Form: 374119

Eeh Bah Gum⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jamie Gormley| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78| D

9/2

Prolific in 2018 and turned in comfortably his best effort of the season when a close fourth at Thirsk 5 days ago. Has fallen a long way in the weights and looks set for a big run.

Form: 40-8694

(8)

Shoot To Kill^b²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: W Buick| T: George Scott| OR: 77| D

7/1

Bath winner in June and returned to form in first-time blinkers there 4 weeks ago, travelling well back at the minimum trip. Must improve to feature but that's possible.

Form: 6-42172

(1)

Mid Winster²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 76| D

8/1

Unlucky not to finish closer when seventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk last month, keeping on when no room final 100 yds and finishing with running left. Makes yard debut and he's not taken lightly.

Form: 800867

(9)

Primo's Comet³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: K Stott| T: J S Goldie| OR: 73| D

10/3

Winer at Musselburgh in July but not in same form when seventh of 12 there 3 days ago. Needs to bounce back to play a part here.

Form: 170327

Sound Of Iona³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Ben Robinson| T: J S Goldie| OR: 71| D

12/1

Ayr winner in July but failed to capitalise on ease in grade back down in trip when fifth at Musselburgh on Sunday. May struggle again based on that effort.

Forecasts

Primo's Comet (10/3), Eeh Bah Gum (9/2), Dark Shot (6/1), Shoot To Kill (7/1), Mid Winster (8/1), Line Of Reason (9/1), Teruntum Star (10/1), Queen's Order (11/1), Sound Of Iona (12/1), Glory Fighter (14/1), Manshood (14/1), Tanasoq (25/1)

A chance is taken on EEH BAH GUM to snap a losing run having turned in comfortably his best effort of the season when fourth at Thirsk last week. He could be tough to beat if recapturing anything like some of his form in much better races last year. Dark Shot rates as a danger after his Southwell victory 9 days ago, while Line of Reason looks the pick of Paul Midgley's trio.
