Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 65| BF| D

5/2

Latest win at Newcastle in June. Good second of 6 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 5/4) 11 days ago, very slowly away. Cheekpieces back on. Due to go up 3 lb and can strike again.

10/1

22/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) 38 days ago, running on. No more than an each-way squeak.

Form: 7675-74

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Smart| OR: 63| D

5/1

13/2, fourth of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive from a win point of view.

Rose Bandit^p²^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Russell⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 53| BF| CD

11/4

C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in July. 10/3, below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Beverley (5f, soft) 2 days ago. Looks vulnerable on the back of that rather disappointing display.

Form: 583118

Mr Trevor¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: T Hamilton| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 57

9/2

Good third of 7 in handicap (16/1) at Carlisle (5f, good) 12 days ago, running on. Reproduction of that effort would see him involved in the finish here.

Form: 247-083

Rain Cap^b,h²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁵⁾| T: J Riches| OR: 45

80/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Seventh of 14 in handicap at this course (6f, good, 125/1) 21 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 059-597

(5)

Lady Of Desire⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 47

18/1

22/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 9 days ago, needing stiffer test. Looks vulnerable.

Forecasts

Tanasoq (5/2), Rose Bandit (11/4), Mr Trevor (9/2), Debawtry (5/1), Captain Corcoran (8/1), Auckland Lodge (10/1), Lady Of Desire (18/1), Rain Cap (80/1)

This race revolves around TANASOQ, who regained the winning thread at Newcastle in June and a sloppy start ultimately proved his undoing when going close at Ayr recently. He is 3 lb 'well-in' and should take plenty of beating, providing he's quicker off the blocks here. Mr Trevor's latest effort represented a step forward and he is preferred to Captain Corcoran for forecast purposes.
