Strongbowe^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 77| C| D

11/1

Course winner over 6f in June. Not at his best on his last 2 starts but is favourably treated if bouncing back t form, particularly with Ella McCain taking 5 lb off.

Form: 312498

(3)

Central City²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Mr Bradley Furniss⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 77

100/1

Latest win at Chelmsford in February but well held back on turf at Haydock 4 weeks ago after a 5-month break. Hard to fancy after that.

Form: 531439

(12)

Mossbawn⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 76| CD

9/4

Has returned from a break an improved performer, second over 1m here before going one better over C&D 8 days ago. Drawn wider than ideal but still much respected.

Form: 333-621

(8)

Oso Rapido¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 75| D

5/1

Good start for this yard last month, winning over 7f at Musselburgh 10 days ago. Likely to remain very competitive after a 5 lb rise.

Form: 360-831

(4)

Harry Love^p1²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 75| C| D

20/1

Course winner but below par in 2 comeback runs at Beverley this summer. First-time cheekpieces will need to make a difference.

Form: 7237-87

(10)

Daniel Deronda²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| BF| D

12/1

Latest win at Leicester in July. Creditable third back there next time and may have found run coming too soon when down the field at Doncaster just 6 days later.

Form: 41-5130

(13)

Trinity Lake^t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁷⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 74| D

7/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2019. 11/2, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (1m, good) 12 days ago, although he again carried his head awkwardly under pressure. Tongue strap back on.

Form: 028266

Soaring Star^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 73| BF

7/1

4/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Each-way claims from a handy inside stall.

Form: 537495

True Blue Moon^t⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73| D

12/1

3¼ lengths seventh of 11 to Mossbawn over C&D (good, 12/1) 8 days ago, not enjoying the smoothest of passages. 4 lb below last winning mark so can't be discounted.

Form: 947407

(7)

Parys Mountain^h,t¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| D

25/1

18/1, 4½ lengths fourth of 7 to Oso Rapido in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good) 10 days ago, headed when hampered entering final 1f.

Form: 830584

(11)

Late Arrival¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 70| D

11/1

Showed a good attitude from the front when just clinging on at Newcastle (7f) 15 days ago. Only nudged up 2 lb but both his wins have come on AW.

Form: 080941

(6)

Cowboy Soldier²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Rowan Scott| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 70

50/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2019. 6/1, last of 6 in handicap at this course (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Remains to be seen if this first attempt beyond sprint trips sparks a revival.

Form: 560006

(2)

Equidae^p,t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 64| D

22/1

Latest win at Ayr in August. 16/1, below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 15 days ago, not clear run.

Forecasts

Mossbawn (9/4), Oso Rapido (5/1), Trinity Lake (7/1), Soaring Star (7/1), Strongbowe (11/1), Late Arrival (11/1), Daniel Deronda (12/1), True Blue Moon (12/1), Harry Love (20/1), Willie John (20/1), Equidae (22/1), Parys Mountain (25/1), Cowboy Soldier (50/1), Central City (100/1)

A chance is taken on STRONGBOWE returning to form as he's back on a workable mark and has the added bonus of Ella McCain taking 5 lb off his back. Last-time-out scorers Mossbawn and Oso Rapido are both fresh for the time of year and merit respect, while the selection's stablemate True Blue Moon didn't enjoy the rub of the green here last time and is well treated on his form in the spring.
