85/40

3/1

Latest win at Musselburgh in August. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (13/8) at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Jordan Electrics¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 75| D

16/1

Latest win at Hamilton in July. Twelfth of 17 in handicap at Haydock (6f, firm, 10/1) 11 days ago. Seems to have lost his form for the time being, so not easy to make a case for.

Lady Nectar^h1²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Gray| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 73| D

15/2

Latest win at Thirsk in April. 13/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Type to bounce back quickly.

Form: 0-13038

Mutanaaseq^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 72| D

7/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good, 6/1) 9 days ago. Not discounted for all this track doesn't really play to his strengths.

Form: 362562

Penny Pot Lane⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Phil Dennis| T: S Whitaker| OR: 68| CD

33/1

3-time C&D winner. 9/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 77 days ago. Generally gives his running at this track, so not a forlorn hope.

Form: 0-63836

Forecasts

Cottam Lane (85/40), Oso Rapido (3/1), Bowman (9/2), Mutanaaseq (7/1), Lady Nectar (15/2), Bossipop (14/1), Jordan Electrics (16/1), Penny Pot Lane (33/1)

BOWMAN wasn't on top form at Ayr last time but had been thriving previously and has the opportunity to get quite an easy lead back down in grade, so he gets the marginal vote in a tightly-knit contest. Oso Rapido and Cottam Lane arrive in good order and have favourable draws, so they also make the shortlist.
