Rose Bandit^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 60| C| D

5/1

Back-to-back winner of sprint handicaps this summer, latterly over 6f here in July. Quickly back from lesser effort at Beverley when second at Hamilton, but any easing of the ground may not suit.

Form: 831182

(3)

Alsvinder^v⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: P A Kirby| OR: 58| CD

2/1

C&D winner early last month who turned in a creditable effort when fourth of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Catterick (6f, good) 4 days ago. Should be thereabouts in present groove.

Form: 753134

(5)

My Friend Stan³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 55

10/3

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 9/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (5.6f, good to soft) 30 days ago. That was his first start for 6 months, so this should reveal more.

Form: 5004-88

Lola Rebel⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: C J Teague| OR: 55

15/2

Dandy Man filly who ran up to best without being seen to best effect when fourth in 8-runner Musselburgh handicap (5f) last month, denied a run over 1f out and unable to recover. One to bear in mind.

Form: 664064

Scarboroughdebut^p1³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 54

14/1

Ninth of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 36 days ago, weakening final 1f. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 4346-09

(6)

Lord Of The Glen^b⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Ben Robinson| T: J S Goldie| OR: 48| D

9/2

Latest win at Musselburgh (5f) in May. Proved consistent subsequently, creditable effort when keeping on for third at Carlisle (5f) on Monday. No surprise to see him go well again.

Form: 124433

(8)

Corton Lass⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: S H James| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 45

16/1

Ungenuine type. Remains a maiden after 38 Flat runs. 12/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 394645

(7)

Glen Lomond¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good, 33/1) 12 days ago. Yet to kick on from his debut effort and he needs to show more before becoming of interest.

Form: 58706

Forecasts

Alsvinder (2/1), My Friend Stan (10/3), Lord Of The Glen (9/2), Rose Bandit (5/1), Lola Rebel (15/2), Scarboroughdebut (14/1), Corton Lass (16/1), Glen Lomond (66/1)

A competitive sprint handicap in which it may pay to take a chance on the low-mileage LOLA REBEL. Not for the first time she shaped better than the bare result when fourth at Musselburgh 8 days ago and the suspicion is she has a bigger effort in her locker. Lord of The Glen, Rose Bandit and Alsvinder are dangers.
