Make My Day³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 90| BF

6/4

Improved to defy his opening mark with authority on first start for this yard at York in July. Ran perfectly respectably in a similar event there last time and could yet get back on the up.

Form: 241-16

Glasses Up²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: P Mathers| T: R M Smith| OR: 88| C

4/1

6-time course winner who proved at least as good as ever when fourth in a competitive handicap at York (10.2f, good, 25/1) 13 days ago. Only respectable effort here on Thursday. Second try at trip.

Form: 211745

Multellie⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 82

15/2

Improved on recent efforts to win 6-runner handicap at Haydock (11.8f, soft) 9 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Likely to find life tougher back up in the weights.

Form: 5-62641

Goobinator^h²⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 82WS

9/1

Fairly useful form over hurdles, twice successful in 2019/20. Still lightly raced on the Flat and probably capable of better. Has had a wind operation since last seen.

Form: 321-

Bronze River¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 81

3/1

Fourth of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 14 days ago. His mark is workable but he may prove best at 1¼m.

Form: 382444

Forecasts

Make My Day (6/4), Bronze River (3/1), Glasses Up (4/1), Elysian Flame (7/1), Multellie (15/2), Goobinator (9/1)

This race is undoubtedly not as competitive as the one MAKE MY DAY contested at York in Ebor week, so he's fancied to resume winning ways. Elysian Flame has the potential to have a big say if turned out quickly following a respectable effort on return from a break here on Friday.
