Toronto¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 75

11/2

Arrives on a losing run but did shape as if back in form when staying on for fifth at York (11.8f) earlier this month. Mark continues to ease but strike rate tempers enthusiasm.

Form: 670495

Ring Of Gold²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 67

11/1

Signs of encouragement last year and possible he's needed each of his 2 starts this term, travelling as well as any but finding little at Doncaster (1m) 3 weeks ago. Up markedly in trip.

Form: 2340-67

(3)

Outback Boy²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 75

6/5

Australia gelding who was first past the post but subsequently demoted to second having carried Carriglillihy left throughtout at Ripon (12f) 3 weeks ago. Should be close between the pair again.

Form: 835-2D

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75

6/4

Winner at Chepstow (10f) in June. 11/4, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 13 days ago. Longer trip may unlock a little more improvement.

Forecasts

Outback Boy (6/5), Charging Thunder (6/4), C'mon Kenny (15/8), Carrigillihy (3/1), Toronto (11/2), Ring Of Gold (11/1)

A competitive-looking handicap with the vote in favour of C'MON KENNY. He continued his theme of race-by-race progress when scoring at Sandown on Wednesday and he looks a big player again if taking up this engagement. Carrigillihy and Outback Boy, who fought out a tight finish at Ripon recently, are others to consider.
