Zlatan¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Sophie Smith⁽³⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 71| D

7/2

Temperamental sort who put his best foot forward for once when scoring at Sandown in July and has followed it with a couple of solid placed efforts. Likely to give another good account.

Menin Gate^p²⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 71| D

9/2

Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Redcar, forging clear. Not seen for 9 months subsequently, but scored on reappearance last year and shrewd yard should have him spot on again.

Form: 91/1641-

My Thought⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss C R Crane⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61

10/3

Two from his last three and wasn't all out at Redcar 9 days ago. Longer trip is an unknown but he's an obvious player if he stays.

Dance King^p⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-1| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64| D

10/1

Just ticking over lately and, while his latest third at Carlisle (4 days ago) was a respectable effort, he was never a serious threat. Others make more appeal.

Le Bayou^b¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Miss Emily Bullock⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Eyre| OR: 52| D

7/1

Consistent this season and gained some reward when landing a 10-runner event having been well positioned at Beverley last time. Looks vulnerable under a penalty, though.

Das Kapital^b1⁷⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Miss Amy Collier⁽⁵⁾| T: John Berry| OR: 55

3/1

Unreliable type who pulled clear of the remainder when a good second, albeit looking ungainly, when supported at Lingfield 78 days ago. Could take a hand if able to back that up.

Form: 38/126-2

New Look⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Amie Waugh| T: L Williamson| OR: 46

50/1

Long-standing maiden who is typically hard to fancy.

Leannes Lady¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Miss Danielle Mooney| T: A Berry| OR: 45

250/1

Little sign of ability, including over hurdles. Easy to discount.

Forecasts

Das Kapital (3/1), My Thought (10/3), Zlatan (7/2), Casilli (4/1), Menin Gate (9/2), Le Bayou (7/1), Irv (7/1), Dance King (10/1), New Look (50/1), Leannes Lady (250/1)

MENIN GATE signed off with an impressive victory at Redcar when last seen 9 months ago and he's still not had much racing for Archie Watson, so a chance is taken on him to make a winning return for the second year running. Casilli could resume progress, so she makes plenty of appeal under Serena Brotherton, while My Thought can take a hand if he stays the longer trip.
