13/8

Doubled career tally when scoring over C&D in August. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (7f) 7 days ago, no extra only late on and no surprise to see him in the mix again.

16/1

6f winner as a juvenile who knocked on the door in handicaps at up to 7f earlier this year. Recent exploits not so inspiring though, soon beaten when ninth of 10 at Thirsk last month. Tongue tie added

Glinbury¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70

10/1

9/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f) 16 days ago, merely closing up late. Previous Haydock second over 6f was a good effort but he may need plenty of give underfoot to been seen at his best.

Forecasts

Oso Rapido (13/8), Shawaamekh (11/4), Gometra Ginty (4/1), Fred (11/2), Three Saints Bay (15/2), Glinbury (10/1), Tommy Tittlemouse (16/1), Newbolt (22/1)

OSO RAPIDO has made a good start for his new yard, successful over C&D prior to a good fourth from this mark at Thirsk 7 days ago. He looks sure to go well again and earns the vote. Gometra Ginty is enjoying a fine season and should give it another good shot, whilst the likely good gallop could see Shawaamekh play a part late in the day.
