Edgar Allan Poe^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Phil Dennis| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 64| CD

9/1

C&D winner but cheekpieces tried when only seventh of 10 in handicap at Redcar (10f) 22 days ago. Yet to fire this season.

Form: 59-0067

(7)

Spirit Of Sarwan⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Shane Gray| T: Stef Keniry| OR: 64| CD

18/1

Unreliable type who beat only one in 1m handicap here 50 days ago when very slowly away. C&D winner but others appeal more.

Form: 1500-40

Elixsoft^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Gemma Tutty⁽³⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 62| BF| C

4/1

Course winner in July who has continued in good form, sixth of 13 in handicap (11/4) at Musselburgh (8f) 14 days ago. Claims.

Ghayyar^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: K Stott| T: A C Whillans| OR: 61

9/2

Twenty one runs since last win in 2018, but good third in first-time blinkers at Musselburgh (8f) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on now and in the mix for his new yard.

Form: 640-893

Liberty Power^t1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65

15/2

Has hinted at promise all three starts, ninth of 11 in Wolverhampton novice (9.5f) last time when left poorly placed. Tongue strap on and better to come now handicapping so worth a market check.

Form: 679

(8)

Reaver^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: J Hodge| OR: 58

7/2

Eighteen runs since last win in 2017, but (20/1) recorded good second of 14 in handicap over C&D 19 days ago. Up 3 lb though so bit more needed if he's to end his losing streak.

Form: 475872

Dutch Coed¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: P Hanagan| T: T Davidson| OR: 55| CD

12/1

C&D winner but he ran poorly on his first run since leaving Nigel Tinkler when twelfth of 14 in handicap over C&D 19 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 70-4090

(6)

Sir Havelock^p⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: R A Fahey| OR: 56| BF

9/2

Arrives on back of creditable fifth of 12 to Elixsoft in handicap here (8.3f) 66 days ago. Needs to step forward however if he's to gain his first win at the eleventh attempt.

Form: 529-725

Forecasts

Camile (3/1), Reaver (7/2), Elixsoft (4/1), Ghayyar (9/2), Sir Havelock (9/2), Liberty Power (15/2), Edgar Allan Poe (9/1), Dutch Coed (12/1), Spirit Of Sarwan (18/1)

LIBERTY POWER has been brought along very steadily and is fancied to provide his trainer with yet another winner now he goes into handicaps off a lenient mark. Elixsoft can boast a course win and arrives in good form too so is feared most, although Ghayyar can also have a say if building on his good recent third at Musselburgh for his new handler.
