Magical Effect^p¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 74| CD

28/1

Latest win at Thirsk in June. Wasn't disgraced after 10 weeks off when sixth of 8 in handicap over C&D (heavy) 11 days ago. C&D winner can make his presence felt.

Form: 25-4166

After John³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jamie Gormley| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 74| CD

17/2

Returned to best on only his second run for new yard when landing 6f handicap at Redcar on heavy going 37 days ago. Up 3 lb but this C&D winner is expected to be bang there.

Form: 5037-01

Buccaneers Vault¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley| OR: 73| D

16/1

Scored at Redcar in June and largely in good form since though below-form seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 10 days ago. Sort to bounce back.

Form: 345057

Musharrif^t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: P Hanagan| T: D Carroll| OR: 73| CD

16/1

Right back on song when landing 5f handicap here in the mud 11 days ago. 2 lb higher now and not easiest to catch right though.

Nearly A Gonna²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73| D

10/1

Six-furlong winner at Ripon in July but only eleventh of 16 in handicap (40/1) at York (6f) 29 days ago. Still lightly raced so not written off.

Form: 44010

(10)

Kind Review¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 72

15/2

Latest win at Leicester in June and has continued in good form, fourth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 10 days ago when not ideally placed. Must enter calculations off 1 lb lower mark.

Form: 190374

Twist Of Hay²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 72| D

11/2

Much improved on back of breathing op when opening her account in 6f handicap at Redcar 20 days ago. Proven on an easy surface and still unexposed so she holds good claims despite 4 lb rise.

Form: 83-341

(14)

Monsieur Patat²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: R Brisland| OR: 72| BF| D

9/1

Winner at Windsor on soft ground in August but never able to land a blow when sixth in 6f handicap at Windsor last time. This stiffer test of stamina will suit so he's not dismissed.

Form: 45416

(12)

Airglow¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 70| D

10/1

Quirky sort who is on a long losing run. Below-form sixth at Newcastle (6f) 10 days ago so others make more appeal.

Form: 272996

(2)

What A Business²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 70| D

9/2

Winless since the restart but arrives in good form, no extra late on upped to 7f when third of 12 in handicap at Catterick last time. Worth considering.

Form: 949523

Paddy Power¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68| C| D

12/1

Course winner but back in 2017 and his recent form is far from encouraging too. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 870000

(7)

Zeyzoun⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 68

33/1

Well below form after 6 months off when ninth of 11 in 10f handicap (66/1) at Chepstow 51 days ago. Significantly back down in trip but very hard to enthuse over.

Form: 8-89659

(11)

Sendacard²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Garritty⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden who beat only one on handicap bow at Musselburgh (7.2f) 29 days ago. Easily opposed.

Form: 252-70

(5)

Penny Pot Lane^p⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Phil Dennis| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 66| BF| CD

11/1

C&D winner who is knocking on the door again, runner-up at Ripon (6f, soft) 9 days ago. Sure to be in the mix off unchanged mark.

Form: 60-9922

(17)

Lairig Ghru^b1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: G Lee| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 67

80/1

Fair juvenile maiden but he failed to beat a rival in 1m handicap at Hamilton 14 days ago. Back down in trip with blinkers fitted and lots to prove now.

Form: 336-8

(9)

Lady Calcaria^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64| D

18/1

It's now thirteen runs since her last win in 2019, and she came in only seventh of 9 in 7f handicap at Leicester 28 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

What A Business (9/2), Twist Of Hay (11/2), Captain Jameson (13/2), Kind Review (15/2), After John (17/2), Monsieur Patat (9/1), Nearly A Gonna (10/1), Airglow (10/1), Penny Pot Lane (11/1), Paddy Power (12/1), Musharrif (16/1), Buccaneers Vault (16/1), Lady Calcaria (18/1), Magical Effect (28/1), Zeyzoun (33/1), Sendacard (66/1), Lairig Ghru (80/1)

Lots with chances here but Michael Dods is a dab hand with sprinters and his TWIST OF HAY looks another lightly-raced improver worth following after she got up late to score at Redcar. She can fend off in-form C&D winner After John while Penny Pot Lane, What A Business and Kind Review are all much respected too.
