Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Fern O'Brien| T: F O'Brien| OR: 62| D

9/2

Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, good to firm, 11/2) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. On the face if it, minor place money appears to be the most likely scenario.

Form: 4-00324

Mahanakhon Power^b⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: B Roberts| T: M Appleby| OR: 60

3/1

Winner at Yarmouth in June. 10/3 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 9 days ago, doing too much too soon. Place possibilities.

10/1

22/1, below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 29 days ago, barely adequate test. This step back up in trip will help and he's entitled to strip fitter this time.

Form: 00304/5

My Brother Mike¹⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Adam O'Shea⁽³⁾| T: J T Stimpson| OR: 60| D

25/1

Latest win at Southwell in March. Bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 9/2), not ideally placed. Off 140 days and back up in trip. Others make greater appeal.

Dream Point^h¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Miss Violet Barton| T: L Morgan| OR: 58

4/1

Latest win at Catterick in July. Good third of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (13f, good to firm, 8/1) 14 days ago. Should be in the mix, providing she gets a strong pace to aim at back down in trip.

Risaalaat^p²⁰

12/1

Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 13/2) 20 days ago. Up in trip and cheekpieces back on. Given a chance by the handicapper and she's worth a second look.

Beepeecee^b²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr J Reddington| T: T Gallagher| OR: 52

100/1

33/1, eighth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 24 days ago. Readily passed over.

Purple Paddy¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr P Thomas| T: J C Fox| OR: 48

25/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. 28/1, creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 10 days ago, never nearer. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 863-846

Quoteline Direct^h⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr James Waggott⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 48| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Thirty-three runs since last win in 2018. Sixth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Pontefract (10f, heavy) 9 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Each-way shout.

Form: 980306

Celtic Force²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Jessica Llewellyn| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 47

4/1

Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap (15/2) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 24 days ago. This nine-race maiden is probably capable of picking up a race, but may again find one or two too good here.

Form: 0090-46

Jeddeyd^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr Cameron Hillhouse| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 46

33/1

13/2, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Others preferred.

Point Of Honour^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Pippa Brown⁽³⁾| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 46| D

28/1

One win from 29 Flat runs. Ninth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 17 days ago, left poorly placed. Chances are, he will again be found wanting.

Form: 4-65759

Cash N Carrie¹¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Taylor Bradburn⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 45| D

66/1

One win from 21 Flat runs. Seventh of 10 in minor event at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 28/1). Off 115 days and the percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Mahanakhon Power (3/1), Dream Point (4/1), Celtic Force (4/1), Lockdown Dream (9/2), Bigbadboy (8/1), Firby (10/1), Risaalaat (12/1), Quoteline Direct (20/1), My Brother Mike (25/1), Purple Paddy (25/1), Point Of Honour (28/1), Jeddeyd (33/1), Cash N Carrie (66/1), Beepeecee (100/1), Time Zone (150/1)

Having caught the eye over an inadequate trip on his comeback run at Hamilton, FIRBY could be the way to go. That spin will have blown away the cobwebs (first start for 21 months) and moving back up in trip will be very much in his favour. Michael Dods's charge may have most to fear from Dream Point, who arrives here in better form than most. Risaalaat is third choice ahead of Bigbadboy.
