Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: A Kirby| T: D O'Meara| OR: 96| D

11/2

Latest win at Thirsk in August. Down the field at York's Ebor meeting since but he does well on AW and could bounce back in this less competitive scenario.

7/2

Added to good AW record when scoring in good style at Wolverhampton last month. Last of 6 on turf since but much better expected back on AW.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 85| C

11/4

Course winner. Operating below his best in 3 runs on turf this year but wasn't beaten that far last time and is starting to look well treated. Keep an eye on in betting back on AW.

Form: 400-996

16/1, 6 lengths sixth of 9 to Benny And The Jets in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 29 days ago. Something to find on form.

Drakefell^b¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 75| D

8/1

Off 17 months but showed he retains his ability when narrowly denied at Southwell only 10 days ago. Second run in quick succession after absence a slight worry but he is able to race off same mark.

Forecasts

Thegreatestshowman (9/4), Breathless Times (11/4), Benny And The Jets (7/2), Watchable (11/2), Drakefell (8/1), Dazzling Des (16/1)

A useful handicap. BENNY AND THE JETS added to his good AW record with a cosy success at Wolverhampton last month and is taken to bounce straight back from a lesser effort on turf and resume winning ways. Drakefell may provide the chief threat if he can reproduce the form he showed when a close second at Southwell on his recent return from a long absence.
