Daniel Deronda⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| BF| D

2/1

Built on reappearance effort when successful over 7f at Leicester last month and not disgraced when third back there from 4 lb higher mark on Monday. Entitled to go well again.

Form: 241-513

Athollblair Boy²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 74| CD

8/1

C&D winner who ended losing run at Newcastle (7f) in April. Largely consistent in defeat since, holding every chance when close fourth at York (6f) last month. Should give another good account.

Form: 167274

Gowanbuster^t⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 73

33/1

Dual winner of 5f handicaps last summer but below his best in 2 starts this term, albeit not knocked about when seventh of 8 at Musselburgh (7f) 8 days ago. Remains unproven at this trip.

Form: 9540-07

(3)

Harbour Vision^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D H Brown| OR: 73| CD

6/1

Good start for this yard last summer, landing handicaps over C&D/Chelmsford. Form rather mixed in recent months but his latest Newmarket third over this trip was a creditable effort. Not ruled out.

Form: 858473

Hajjam¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: D Nolan| T: L Bailey| OR: 73| D

14/1

In-and-out this year and, having produced one of his better efforts when second at Ascot (7f) in July, he failed to build on the promise of that run at Lingfield 2 weeks ago. Mark is easing at least.

Form: 460824

Oso Rapido¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 70| D

28/1

Won Redcar nursery on final 2-y-o start but never kicked on from his reappearance third as a 3-y-o. Similarly well held on yard debut/return from 10 months off at Pontefract 10 days ago.

Form: 61/360-8

(5)

Harvest Day^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Gray| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 68| D

20/1

Strong in betting and proved far too good down in grade at Musselburgh (7f) in May. Slow starts haven't aided her cause on 2 of 3 starts since but not entirely ruled out.

Form: 531475

(9)

Nat Love¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: G Lee| T: J Mackie| OR: 67| D

12/1

Losing run mounting up prior to causing an 18/1 surprise at Newcastle (7f) 12 days ago. 4 lb higher mark to contend with now but not discounted if he can replicate latest display here.

Form: 528-081

(10)

Musahaba^b⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: A J Farragher⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 62| BF

16/1

Ran as well as he ever has for this yard when second in first-time blinkers at Newcastle (7f) 2 starts back. However, disappointed at Thirsk (6f) since and return to 7f needs to have positive effect.

Form: 668423

(8)

Tamaska^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: D O'Meara| OR: 66| D

6/1

Kept busy since the spring and added third career success to his tally at Redcar (7f) 2 starts back. Not in same form at York last time but this ease back down in class rates a likely plus.

Form: 123417

(4)

Royal Prospect^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 56

22/1

Losing run stretches back over 2 years but he did turn in one of his better efforts when keeping on for third off a strong pace at Carlisle (5.8f) 12 days ago. Now operating from career-low mark.

Form: 943993

Enderman²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Ben Robinson| T: P T Midgley| OR: 60

15/2

Redcar nursery winner (6f) last summer who turned in easily his best effort since when runner-up to Tamaska over 7f at that venue last month. Can go well again on that evidence.

Form: 51-8752

Forecasts

Daniel Deronda (2/1), Tamaska (6/1), Harbour Vision (6/1), Enderman (15/2), Athollblair Boy (8/1), Nat Love (12/1), Hajjam (14/1), Musahaba (16/1), Harvest Day (20/1), Royal Prospect (22/1), Oso Rapido (28/1), Gowanbuster (33/1)

A winner at Redcar 2 starts back, TAMASKA struggled to make an impact in a better race at York last time. However, this drop back in grade rates a plus for David O'Meara's 3-y-o and it would come as no surprise to see a much better showing. Enderman was one place behind the selection at Redcar and can feature again, along with Daniel Deronda and Harbour Vision.
