33/1

C&D winner. 16/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (12f) 8 days ago. Another who is seemingly working his way back to fitness following a lengthy absence and the assessor is relinquishing his grip.

12/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Not disgraced when seventh of 11 in handicap at York (11.8f, good, 8/1) 20 days ago and worth treating as still in form.

Form: 3-24227

Forecasts

Strawberry Rock (6/5), Benadalid (11/2), Glenties (13/2), Cockalorum (13/2), Bollin Joan (11/1), Firewater (12/1), Sociologist (22/1), Mutamaded (22/1), Mukhayyam (33/1)

On the back of his Beverley debut success, STRAWBERRY ROCK was faced with no easy task under a penalty when third at Kemtpon in July. However, he duly showed improved form that day in a race that is working out well and he's fancied to go well on handicap debut with the prospect of more to come. Bollin Joan and Benadalid both go well at this venue and head up the dangers.
