11/1

15/2, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, soft) 26 days ago. Now operating 4 lb below last winning mark and underfoot conditions will hold no fears.

25/1

6/1, ran one of this season's lesser races when ninth of 13 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f) 24 days ago. Had previously gone close in handicaps at around 10f and no surprise to see him bounce back.

12/1

16/1, bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good) 24 days ago, not ideally placed. Given a chance by the assessor.

Form: 075356

18/1

Seventh of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, soft, 7/1) 25 days ago. Yet to fire this term but his mark is easing all the time.

Form: 006767

Bawaader^h¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Abbie McCain| T: D Thompson| OR: 58| BF

9/1

18/5, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 18 days ago. Proved largely consistent so far this summer and he's one to consider.

Form: 6542D4

Langholm^t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss C A Dods⁽⁷⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 56| D

25/1

Below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (8f, heavy, 40/1) 8 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Back up in trip.

Form: 23-0406

(1)

Bad Rabbit⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: R Menzies| OR: 59

10/3

Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, heavy) 4 days ago. No reason why he won't give another good account.

Form: 5-85924

(4)

Kyoto Star^b¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss C R Crane⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 55

11/1

Below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 12/1) 10 days ago, hampered home turn and not quicken. Has come down a long way in the weights but sole success to date came on AW.

Form: 84-0534

(7)

Temper Trap⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-4| J: Mr William Easterby| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58

4/1

Latest win at Hamilton in August. 12/1, respectable fifth of 16 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 9 days ago. Likely he has more to offer over this sort of trip.

Form: 211755

(5)

Whitwell^p1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-4| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 58

50/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, fourth of 5 in minor event at Beverley (9.9f, good) 24 days ago. Boasts little in the way of solid form but not one to write off now handicapping for shrewd yard.

Form: 504

(6)

Seaborough²¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Amie Waugh| T: D Thompson| OR: 53

14/1

Unreliable type. 25/1, eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (16f, good). Off 7 months. Down in trip. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Forecasts

Bad Rabbit (10/3), Temper Trap (4/1), Menin Gate (11/2), Bawaader (9/1), Royal Shaheen (11/1), Kyoto Star (11/1), Thorntoun Care (12/1), Seaborough (14/1), Utopian Lad (14/1), My Painter (16/1), Edgar Allan Poe (18/1), Contrast (25/1), Langholm (25/1), Stittenham Wood (40/1), Whitwell (50/1)

A wide-open finale with the vote in favour of 3-y-o TEMPER TRAP. A dual winner over shorter trips earlier this term, he ran respectably from a tricky position when fifth at Nottingham 9 days ago and he remains low-mileage over this sort of trip. Menin Gate and Bawaader head up the dangers, along with Bad Rabbit.
