Ejtilaab^h³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 87| BF

4/1

Hasn't added to last year's debut success but he did post a useful effort when narrowly denied at Chester (7f, good) in September. 3 lb rise fair enough.

Form: 1-63372

Golden Force^v³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 85| D

16/1

Won twice around 1m in midsummer but the handicapper has looked in charge since. Down in trip.

Form: 331107

Extrodinair²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 85| CD

6/1

Landed back-to-back C&D wins this year and posted another good effort here when second over 6f last month. Probably worth putting a line through his run on soft turf at Haydock latest. Player.

Form: 211420

Nigel Nott^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Appleby| OR: 85| C

11/1

Gained a third sprint win of the year when battling well to shade tight finish over 6f here 12 days ago. Likely to remain competitive after 5 lb rise but stamina has to be taken on trust back at 7f.

Form: 350071

Split Down South²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁵⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 83| CD

13/2

Four-time course winner. Three wins from 12 runs this year. Creditable seventh of 15 in C&D handicap 21 days ago. Yard won this race twice in recent years. Not taken lightly.

Form: 248747

Higher Kingdom⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: A Watson| OR: 83| D

7/1

Back from 4-month break to make it 2 wins from 3 starts in 6f Newcastle novice in September. Has the odd quirk (flashed tail latest) but evidently well regarded as he's gone off at odds-on each time.

Form: 1-41

(2)

Gloves Lynch^b1⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: M Wigham| OR: 81

9/1

12/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (7f, soft) 49 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Blinkers on first time. Has edged down the weights and needs keeping an eye on in the betting.

Form: 4-67080

(1)

Tilsitt²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: I Furtado| OR: 81

50/1

Maiden winner in France. Probably needed the run when well held in C&D handicap on British debut 3 weeks ago. Needs to have come on a lot.

Form: 5-8410

(4)

Highfield Princess¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D C Costello| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 77| CD

11/2

Progressive sort who made it 3 wins in her last 4 starts when seeing off 12 rivals over C&D 14 days ago. 4 lb rise unlikely to prevent another prominent showing from this improving filly.

Form: 431121

(5)

Aweemaweh¹³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: M R Channon| OR: 76

11/2

Form of AW maiden win in March has worked out well. Didn't get close to reproducing that in a couple of turf in handicaps in June but may fare better back on AW after a break.

Form: 47-106

Forecasts

Ejtilaab (4/1), Highfield Princess (11/2), Aweemaweh (11/2), Extrodinair (6/1), Split Down South (13/2), Higher Kingdom (7/1), Gloves Lynch (9/1), Nigel Nott (11/1), Golden Force (16/1), Tilsitt (50/1)

It isn't hard to forgive EXTRODINAIR his latest run on turf and he might be the answer back at a track where he does so well. Highfield Princess has also shown a liking for this place and rates an obvious danger. Split Down South is feasibly treated for a yard which has won this twice in recent years, while Higher Kingdom must be well regarded having gone off at short odds on all 3 starts.
