Bashosh³⁰

6/5

Looked smart prospect when bagging Leiester maiden and Doncaster novice in summer. Not seen to best effect when last of 3 in 10f handicap at Redcar since, so well worth another chance now up in trip.

Form: 113

7/2

Scored at Nottingham in July before good second of 4 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good) 20 days ago. Much respected on tapeta debut for last year's winning yard.

Form: 91-2412

Forecasts

Bashosh (6/5), Possible Man (7/2), Big Team (6/1), Sky Defender (6/1), Fair Star (7/1), Snow Ocean (16/1), Petite Jack (200/1)

BASHOSH lost his unbeaten record at Redcar last time but wasn't seen to best effect in a tactical affair there and is fancied to get back to winning ways on his first attempt over 1m4f now. Sir Michael Stoute took this contest 12 months ago and his Possible Man is rated next best ahead of in-form course winner Snow Ocean.
