16/1

Established as a smart sprinter, adding pair of handicaps to his tally last year (latterly over 5f here). Well held on return and posed no threat in listed contest here latest but this more suitable.

Gulliver^p,t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 98| CD

7/1

Ended losing run in Coral Sprint Trophy over C&D in October. Shaping up well back on turf of late, fifth in the Wokingham prior to being drawn on unfavoured side at the Curragh latest. Not discounted.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: C G Cox| OR: 96| D

9/1

Low-mileage 4-y-o who added fourth success to his tally at Wolverhampton (6f) in March. Good fourth at Newcastle in June and respected back on turf.

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 95| D

33/1

Successful at Doncaster (5f) in October and rattled off 4 subsequent victories on AW during the winter. Creditable effort on turf and AW of late and the handicapper has afforded him a chance.

Mondammej^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 91| D

7/1

Evidently quirky, but now more tractable than he was earlier this year and ran best race to date when close-up third in solid-looking Ascot handicap (5f) 2 weeks ago. Can go well again back at 6f.

16/1

Landed this race 12 months ago and went in again on the Knavesmire over 5f in October. Efforts decidedly mixed in recent months but capable it putting it all together. Blinkers replace visor.

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| D

15/2

Model of consistency this campaign, back to winning ways at Pontefract (6f) in June prior to narrow defeats on 2 of 3 starts since. Up 4 lb as a result but he looks as good as ever at present.

Form: 201202

Flying Pursuit^t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| CD

33/1

Produced best effort for some time when scoring on return at Ripon (6f) in May. Not disgraced on 3 of his 4 starts subsequently but suspicion is handicapper has him about right at present.

Form: 7-13743

George Bowen^v¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 8-9| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85| CD

25/1

Capitalised on a career-low mark at Hamilton in June. Strong at the finish when just touched off at Thirsk (6f) later that month but never fired over C&D 2 weeks ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 441520

Admirality⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Harrison Shaw| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 85| D

11/1

Runner-up 4 times in a row last season and filled that same position over 7f at Doncaster 2 starts back. Not at same level when fifth back there last week but no doubting he's lurking on a good mark.

Form: 7-06625

Manigordo^t⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: T D Easterby| OR: 84| D

14/1

Scored at Thirsk in April and back to that sort of form going from the front when headed late on at Redcar (6f) on Sunday. No sure thin to be in the same form here, though.

Giogiobbo^p²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 8-2| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 78| D

20/1

On a roll at present, rattling off a Doncaster hat-trick in determined style last month, making all and battling well when challenged. More on his plate in this field but good showing not ruled out.

Form: 648111

Blind Beggar¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: F Norton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 83| D

4/1

Gained breakthrough win in fine style when nine-length winner of 6f Ripon maiden in May. Not seen to best effect over C&D thereafter but not in same form at Newmarket 16 days ago. Eased 2 lb since.

Blind Beggar (4/1), Mondammej (7/1), Gulliver (7/1), Music Society (15/2), Golden Apollo (15/2), Streamline (9/1), Admirality (11/1), Manigordo (14/1), Typhoon Ten (14/1), Muscika (16/1), Lahore (16/1), Mokaatil (16/1), Giogiobbo (20/1), George Bowen (25/1), Venturous (33/1), Flying Pursuit (33/1)

A typically competitive renewal, with the vote in favour of STREAMLINE. He missed the whole of last year but proved as good as ever when resuming winning ways at Wolverhampton in March. Far from disgraced on the back of 3 months off at Newcastle in June, he's still unexposed on turf and he's fancied to go close. Mondammej, last year's winner Muscika and Gulliver head up the dangers.
