The Great Heir^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 80| CD

7/2

Capped off fine 2-y-o season with a fine win in a Sales race here in 2018. Unable to add to tally since, but has offered a bit more of late in cheekpieces.

Form: 008335

(3)

Parallel World²³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 80| BF| D

22/1

Won a brace of novice events at Southwell in 2019 and improved again when runner-up back at that venue (1m) in March. Off since and has to prove he's as effective on turf.

Form: 011-2

(5)

Archaeology²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 79| C

7/1

Landed a 1m handicap from 1 lb higher in May 2019. Unable to strike since, though shouldn't be judged too harshly on last 2 runs.

Form: 84-2650

Bobby Shaft¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: A Mullen| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 77| D

16/1

Left Richard Fahey cheaply but caused a surprise to win Newcastle maiden last month and improved again when third in a big-field handicap at York 2 weeks ago from this mark.

Form: 222-013

(6)

Super Den²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: T Kent| OR: 78

11/1

Stepped up on his debut in July when fourth at Kempton a month later despite still showing signs of inexperience. That race worked out well but he was never really a factor on handicap/turf debut.

Form: 446

(7)

Eligible¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: G Lee| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 75

66/1

Landed a Sandown handicap from 1 lb higher in July 2019 for Clive Cox but yet to find his feet for current yard.

Form: 1334-05

(11)

Maysong¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 76| BF| D

9/1

Signed off 2-y-o season with a nursery win over 7f at Kempton in December. Gradually found his feet this term, keeping on well from an unpromising position at Wolverhampton latest.

Form: 51-0865

(8)

Velma²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 75

14/1

Put her experience to good use when off the mark in a 13-runner novice at Newcastle 3 weeks ago. Quite a bit more needed back in a handicap.

Form: 762261

(2)

Ugo Gregory^b,t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73| D

11/1

Better than ever when landing a brace of 7.2f handicap at Ayr this autumn. Found only one too good in hat-trick bid 12 days ago and he remains of interest.

Form: 535112

(10)

Magical Effect^p¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Jamie Gormley| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 73| D

50/1

Latest win at Thirsk in June and quickly back on that mark following a trio of lesser efforts, the last couple back over 6f.

Form: 5-41660

(14)

Jump The Gun³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Havlin| T: I Jardine| OR: 74

16/1

Has just a Southwell maiden win to his name but is in better heart than hisd form figures for this yard would suggest, not ideally placed at Ayr last time.

Form: 33-0570

(12)

Capla Berry^t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: Rae Guest| OR: 71| CD

4/1

Hit the ground running with a brace of 7f wins this summer, latterly at this venue. Tongue tie fitted and back on her game when third at Yarmouth, which makes her of interest.

Form: 8-11U83

(1)

Corndavon Lad^v⁴²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70

100/1

Maiden who has been off the track for 14 months. In good hands but not hard to have reservations.

Form: 824380-

(13)

Dawn Breaking⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Phil Dennis| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 63| D

8/1

Third win of 2020 in a 14-runner handicap at Pontefract (8f, heavy) at the beginning of this month. Just a respectable effort back at 7f last week.

Form: 686016

Forecasts

The Great Heir (7/2), Capla Berry (4/1), Archaeology (7/1), Dawn Breaking (8/1), Maysong (9/1), Ugo Gregory (11/1), Super Den (11/1), Velma (14/1), Bobby Shaft (16/1), Jump The Gun (16/1), Parallel World (22/1), Magical Effect (50/1), Eligible (66/1), Corndavon Lad (100/1)

Following an unfortunate experience at Newbury, CAPLA BERRY looked back on track when third at Yarmouth 12 days ago and this C&D winner retains potential at this sort of level, She receives the vote at the chief expense of Archaeology and Bobby Shaft.
