Dirchill^b²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 64| CD

10/1

C&D winner who arrives on back of all-the-way 6f handicap success in the mud at Catterick 20 days ago by ¾l from Wots The Wifi Code. Up 4 lb but still greatly respected.

Form: 0-61501

Real Smooth¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Georgia Dobie| T: R M Smith| OR: 63

17/2

Claims on best form but (11/2) below-form sixth of 13 in 7f handicap here 10 days ago. Goes well in the mud so not ruled out if shrugging off latest effort.

Form: 009826

Turanga Leela^b²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Laura Coughlan⁽³⁾| T: J Mackie| OR: 62| D

20/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2019, but took step back in right direction when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 27 days ago. In the mix if building on that run.

Form: 249-906

(11)

Reckless Endeavour⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 61| D

33/1

Arrives out of sorts, tenth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Plummeting in the weights but still needs to show lot more.

Form: 146900

(7)

Round The Island^p⁷^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 57| D

9/2

Has proved unreliable but arrives in excellent form and landed 6f handicap at Pontefract (heavy) 7 days ago, forging clear late on. Expected to be bang there under 4 lb penalty.

Form: 952231

Redzone⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Miss Jade Goodwin⁽⁷⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 61| D

18/1

Winner at Doncaster in June but (9/2) unsuited by step up in trip when fading sixth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 48 days ago. Respected back at 6f.

Form: 471226

(13)

Raadea¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 60

50/1

33/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 16 days ago. Back down in trip but needs to step forward if he's to open his account at the seventh attempt.

Form: 8-52090

(14)

Pattaya^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ella McCain⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58

22/1

Failed to build on previous promise when (10/1) only ninth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 19 days ago. Others are preferred.

Form: 982059

(6)

Wots The Wifi Code^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 58| BF

10/3

Yet to win but knocking on the door, runner-up in handicap at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 7 days ago. Can make presence felt again off unchanged mark.

Form: 0-87232

(12)

Sheepscar Lad¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Aiden Smithies⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 55

18/1

Thirty one runs since last win in 2018, but he posted creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Dropped a handy 3 lb so he's shortlisted.

Form: 808644

Highjacked²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Aidan Redpath⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Davies| OR: 52| BF| CD

10/3

C&D winner in July who has continued in decent form, third of 10 in handicap (2/1) at Catterick (6f, heavy) 20 days ago. Each-way claims once more.

Form: 8-81323

(9)

Supercali^v1⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Kieran Schofield⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 50

125/1

Looked none too keen when last of 9 in C&D novice 41 days ago. Visor on now for her handicap debut with lots to prove.

Form: 799

(17)

Highlight Reel¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Owen Payton⁽⁷⁾| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 46

50/1

Unreliable type who arrives on back of last of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Twenty five runs now since his last win in 2018 so others lot more persuasive.

Form: 008590

(3)

Kibaar¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: Rhiain Ingram| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 45| D

25/1

On a long losing run and only ninth of 13 in 6f handicap at Newcastle 13 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: 788729

(1)

Tomahawk Ridge^b⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: J Gallagher| OR: 45

7/1

Only one win from 22 runs but he got back on track in first-time blinkers when second of 11 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Not taken lightly if headgear does the trick again.

Form: 907672

(16)

Oriental Splendour^b¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: William Humphrey⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 45

80/1

Out of sorts at present, never-dangerous seventh of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 995097

Forecasts

Highjacked (10/3), Wots The Wifi Code (10/3), Round The Island (9/2), Tomahawk Ridge (7/1), Real Smooth (17/2), Dirchill (10/1), Sheepscar Lad (18/1), Redzone (18/1), Turanga Leela (20/1), Pattaya (22/1), Kibaar (25/1), Reckless Endeavour (33/1), Banksea (33/1), Highlight Reel (50/1), Raadea (50/1), Oriental Splendour (80/1), Supercali (125/1)

Lots in with a shout in this apprentice sprint but ROUND THE ISLAND gets in with just a 4 lb penalty for his convincing Pontefract win in the mud last week so is hard to side against with excellent claimer William Carver up. Sheepscar Lad is well worth considering despite being on a long losing run and both Wots The Wifi Code and Dirchill are worth a second look too.
