Our Little Pony¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 81| CD

7/2

Won this 12 months ago and could be set to make a bold bid to stage a repeat after shaping well from a poor position at Redcar 16 days ago. Player.

Poyle Vinnie⁹³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 81| CD

33/1

Veteran who scored at Glorious Goodwood last year. In better form that his results this summer might suggest and he's handicapped to go well if primed after a 3-month break.

Form: 960-490

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: William Pyle⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 80| D

22/1

On a winning mark but hasn't really shown enough of late to suggest he's ready to take advantage.

Form: 506406

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 80| D

Jill Rose¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 67

13/2

In common with a few from her stable she's found some form of late, winning twice in the mud at Catterick. Further 7 lb rise unlikely to prevent a prominent showing on hat-trick bid.

Form: 427411

Van Gerwen¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-2| J: J Fanning| T: P T Midgley| OR: 65| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Ripon in August but he's been below par on recent starts.

Forecasts

John Kirkup (11/4), Our Little Pony (7/2), James Watt (13/2), Jill Rose (13/2), Mid Winster (8/1), Bossipop (11/1), Wasntexpectingthat (14/1), Abate (16/1), Quick Look (22/1), The Bell Conductor (25/1), Van Gerwen (25/1), Poyle Vinnie (33/1)

OUR LITTLE PONY caught the eye at Redcar last time and is taken to land this race for the second year running. Mid Winster could easily have more to come for the Paul Midgley yard and rates a threat along with the hat-tricking seeking Jill Rose.
