Restive^t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Ms S Brotherton| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 65| CD

7/2

First run since leaving Michael Appleby when respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 31 days ago. Tongue strap back on so last year's winner can't be ruled out.

Form: 727-376

War Empress^p,e/s¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 61

4/1

Stil a maiden, but knocking on the door and (cheekpieces on) when third of 14 in 2m handicap at Newbury 11 days ago. Form has been franked so another bold showing is on the cards.

14/1

Course winner but below-form sixth of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 6 days ago. Back up in trip and needs to step forward.

Form: 1-44396

Russian Rumour^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-4| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: J G Portman| OR: 61| D

6/4

Winner at Bath in August and good second of 10 in handicap over C&D 7 days ago on fibresand bow. Not taken lightly off unchanged mark.

Form: 542182

Kyoto Star^b⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss C R Crane⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 53

6/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2018, and arrives on back of seventh over hurdles (125/1) at Wetherby only 4 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 4-05340

Hugoigo^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Mr Patrick Millman| T: J S Goldie| OR: 52

14/1

Only one win from 33 runs, but creditable fourth of 14 in 2m handicap at Newbury 11 days ago. Makes fibresand debut with cheekpieces back on and needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 437274

Angel Of The North⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Mr Eireann Cagney⁽⁵⁾| T: A Phillips| OR: 45

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 45| D

33/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2018, and only ninth of 12 in 2m handicap at Catterick 28 days ago. Hard to enthuse over.

Form: 24-0009

(10)

Scrafton¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Miss S L Bowen⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45| CD

66/1

C&D winner but his losing run now stands at thirteen and she came in last of 13 in 2m handicap (50/1) at Wolverhampton 17 days ago. Easily opposed.

Form: 789800

T: A Watson J: Miss Brodie Hampson

Forecasts

Russian Rumour (6/4), Restive (7/2), War Empress (4/1), Keane's Kingdom (11/2), Kyoto Star (6/1), Grandscape (14/1), Hugoigo (14/1), The Resdev Way (20/1), Duke Of Yorkshire (33/1), Scrafton (66/1), Angel Of The North (200/1)

WAR EMPRESS is proven on fibresand and fancied to gain a deserved first victory after her excellent recent third at Newbury. Russian Rumour rates an obvious threat after posting a good first effort on the surface over C&D last week, although last year's victor Restive can't be ruled out easily either in a tight-knit handicap.
