11/2

Returned to winning ways at Carlisle in July earlier in the month, deserving extra credit after racing closer to the pace than ideal. Had excuses at same track last time, so worth another chance.

10/1

Confirmed promise of last run when winning 6-runner handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 11/1) 17 days ago, but isn't an obvious type to follow up.

11/2

16/1, stepped up on reappearance run when fourth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Looks one to be interested in again.

4/1

16/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 5 days ago, no match for winner but proving she's every bit as effective on turf.

Form: 10339-2

(3)

Sfumato⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 55| CD

7/2

Dual C&D winner who again shaped better than the bare result at Wolverhampton (7.2f) last week, keeping on after meeting trouble. Not one to write off.

Form: 404-057

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 53| CD

12/1

5-time C&D winner who has been below form on his last 3 outings, though did have an excuse at Beverley last time having been poorly drawn.

Form: 7-25750

The Grey Bay²³³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: C Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 45WS

14/1

Modest maiden who ran poorly on his final 2 starts last year, but has since had a wind operation and it's worth noting he ran well on reappearance last season.

Forecasts

Sfumato (7/2), Alex Gracie (4/1), Gullane One (11/2), Lincoln Gamble (11/2), Redzone (11/2), Stronsay (8/1), Alsvinder (10/1), Indian Pursuit (12/1), The Grey Bay (14/1), Foad (14/1), Jungle Inthebungle (20/1), Qaaraat (28/1)

REDZONE stepped up on his reappearance run when fourth at Thirsk 3 weeks ago, so he looks one to be interested in again all of a sudden, especially with his yard going well. Gullane One can have his latest effort at Carlisle easily excused having set an overly-strong gallop, with Stronsay and Sfumato others to bear in mind.
