The Thin Blue Line⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 70| D

4/1

AW nursery winner last November but has struggled to make a significant impact this term, finishing well held at Ayr latest. A 6-week break needs to have done him some good.

Form: 435460

Water Of Leith²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Menzies| OR: 70| D

9/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. 5/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 20 days ago. Was runner-up off 4 lb higher at Haydock in July and Oisin Murphy takes the ride.

Impeller^p,t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69| D

16/1

Bounced back to best to gain first win on turf in 6f Leicester handicap (good to firm) hasn't beaten a rival in his 2 outings since. Hard to know what to expect.

Patsy Fagan⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64| D

16/1

On the up when last seen out in March, bagging two 6f Lingfield AW handicaps. Possibly needed the run when well held on turf return in July but he's been off another 2 months since.

Form: 24-4117

Iris Dancer¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Phil Dennis| T: T Davidson| OR: 63| BF| D

4/1

Been in good form since joining this yard, finishing runner-up 4 times at this course. Another prominent showing is on the cards.

Form: 423222

Basharat¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Beasley| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 62| D

8/1

Free-goer who was suited by a switch to front-running when getting off the mark in 6f Catterick novice 12 days ago. Ought to be competitive back in a handicap.

Form: 324491

Elladora³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: K Scott| OR: 60

14/1

Good second of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) a month ago. The task now is to back that effort up as he's struggled for consistency so far.

Form: 370702

Kats Bob⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 60

9/2

Unreliable type. 15/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft) 44 days ago, finishing well. No guarantees he'll be in the same form this time.

Form: 2-06562

(7)

Dandy's Max²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: P Mathers| T: E J Alston| OR: 51

9/1

Musselburgh second in June very much a standout for Stella Barclay in 2021 but it's possible new yard could get more out of him. Needs keeping an eye on in the betting.

Form: 702609

(3)

Toshack¹⁰⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine| OR: 45

125/1

Poor form in 3 qualifying runs earlier in the year. Clearly more chance now handicapping back from a break but she is 6 lb out of the weights and would need to see market support to consider.

Form: 785

Forecasts

Iris Dancer (4/1), The Thin Blue Line (4/1), Kats Bob (9/2), Water Of Leith (9/2), Basharat (8/1), Dandy's Max (9/1), Elladora (14/1), Sixcor (14/1), Patsy Fagan (16/1), Impeller (16/1), Toshack (125/1)

IRIS DANCER has had a good spell since joining Tristan Davidson and is taken to gain reward for her consistency. The booking of Oisin Murphy for Water of Leith takes the eye and he's feared most ahead of recent Catterick novice winner Basharat.
