Echo Of Lightning^p¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-10| J: B A Curtis| T: Ian Williams| OR: 57

12/1

Off 10 months, first run since leaving Roger Fell when eighth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Will need to leave that well behind.

Form: 14800-8

(6)

Red Bravo^t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 54

5/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2018 but placed twice this summer and not seen to best effect after a sluggish start when sixth of 13 in handicap at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago.

Form: 463736

(12)

Carlovian^v¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 53| D

7/1

Second win of the campaign when leading late on at Catterick (6f, heavy) 13 days ago. Likely to remain very competitive after a 4 lb rise.

Form: 156561

(9)

Lucky Beggar¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 53| D

15/2

Eighteen runs since last win in 2019. 33/1, shaped as if back in form when fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 13 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Starting to look dangerously well treated.

Form: 349805

Josiebond⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S H James| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 53

13/2

From a yard in form and she scored pretty readily at Musselburgh (7f, good) 9 days ago. Raised 7 lb but she went close off similar marks last season.

Form: 966-631

(11)

Someone Exciting¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 51| D

11/1

Off 7 months, likely needed the run when 7 lengths fourth of 10 to reopposing Carlovian in handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy, 7/1) 13 days ago. Well capable off this mark.

Form: 97-9664

(8)

Rockley Point¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 50| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in March. Also second at Musselburgh in July but well below form twice since.

Form: 381200

Harry's Ridge^p⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: E J Alston| OR: 49| BF

85/40

Maiden but hard to knock his placed efforts on his last 4 starts. Likely he'll be in the shake-up again.

Form: 673223

(10)

Bevsboy^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 47| D

28/1

40/1, left previous efforts this year behind when second of 12 in handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy) 13 days ago, running on. Needs to prove she can string good runs together now.

Form: 91-0892

(7)

Picks Pinta^b³²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 8-12| J: Jamie Gormley| T: J Riches| OR: 45| CD

66/1

C&D winner but ended 2019 out of sorts and has a 10-month absence to overcome. Likely it's best to look elsewhere.

Form: 469006-

(4)

Laoise¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: G Lee| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 45

10/1

Maiden who went close over 5f here on Sunday. No banker to follow up on that.

Form: 734892

Indiaro⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 45

50/1

Has beaten only a couple home in 4 runs this season. Likely booked for another struggle.

Forecasts

Harry's Ridge (85/40), Red Bravo (5/1), Josiebond (13/2), Carlovian (7/1), Lucky Beggar (15/2), Laoise (10/1), Someone Exciting (11/1), Echo Of Lightning (12/1), Jessie Allan (14/1), Rockley Point (20/1), Guardia Svizzera (25/1), Bevsboy (28/1), Jordan's Chris (33/1), Indiaro (50/1), Picks Pinta (66/1)

LUCKY BEGGAR caught the eye a bit on AW last time and might be worth chancing from his reduced mark. Josiebond was comfortably on top over 7f at Musselburgh last time and has plenty of form over 6f so she rates an obvious threat despite a 7 lb rise. Harry's Ridge and recent Catterick scorer Carlovian are also on the shortlist.
