8/1

Form: 357975

(7)

Just For Yuse¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 74| CD

7/2

C&D maiden winner in June and not disgraced when third of 6 in handicap at Ffos Las (8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Still lightly raced, so he can't be discounted eased 2 lb now.

Form: 36163

(9)

Wise Judgement²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 73| CD

8/1

C&D winner in June but has failed to match that form in three runs since, last of 5 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 77-1545

(8)

Irv^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: G Lee| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 67| D

6/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2019, and showed signs of temperament when fifth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on but others are preferred.

Form: 523435

(5)

Kylie Rules^p³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 61| CD

8/1

4-time C&D winner but it's now eighteen runs since her last win in 2019. Only ninth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 34 days ago so it's easy to look elsewhere. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 444759

Motarajel^p⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58| D

10/3

Winless since 2019 but he arrives in decent nick, sixth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Back up in trip and no forlorn hope.

Form: 882836

Dark Spec²⁴

Weight: 9-10| Age: 6

T: Mrs P Sly J: D C Costello

Forecasts

Dark Spec (5/2), Motarajel (10/3), Just For Yuse (7/2), Irv (6/1), King's Pavilion (7/1), Perfect Swiss (8/1), Irreverent (8/1), Kylie Rules (8/1), Wise Judgement (8/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest, and Pam Sly's in-form DARK SPEC looks to have been found a good opportunity to gain his breakthrough victory. Just For Yuse also has relatively few miles on the clock and can boast a C&D win too so is next on the list. Motarajel can't be discounted either now stepping back up in trip despite arrving on a lenghty losing run.
