20/1

3 wins from 8 runs this year. 18/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good) 21 days ago, staying on well. Seems to stay this far, though all wins have come over shorter.

Good View¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 74

9/2

Winner at Pontefract in September. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (14f, good) 10 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Latest effort boosted and return to this distance will suit.

Donnachies Girl⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Rowan Scott| T: A C Whillans| OR: 62| BF| C

12/1

Course winner. Creditable second of 14 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good, 7/2) 9 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Should give another good account, though has little in hand.

22/1

Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at this course (12.4f, 40/1) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Something to prove.

Forecasts

Trumpet Man (8/11), Al Kout (7/2), Good View (9/2), Donnachies Girl (12/1), Zihaam (20/1), Ravenscar (22/1), The Resdev Way (50/1)

TRUMPET MAN was well on top when scoring at Nottingham a week ago so, provided the race doesn't come too soon, he should be capable of defying a penalty. Good View may resume progress back up in trip, so he could pose the main threat ahead of the consistent Donnachies Girl.
