Bardykes Farm Nursery School Handicap

(3)

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 88| C| D

Course winner. Latest win at Ripon (9.7f) in August. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Ayr (10f), racing closer to the pace than ideal. Better showing not ruled out but career high mark to defy.

Form: 946217

Bashosh²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 91| BF

Lightly-raced winner. Latest win at Doncaster (1m) in June. 6/5, fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 23 days ago. Remains early days with him and that may not prove his limit.

Form: 1134

(6)

Glasses Up⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: R M Smith| OR: 85

Bounced back to form when second of 8 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good) 9 days ago. Return to shorter will hold no fears if he can back that up now.

Form: 517002

Poet's Dawn²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 83| D

Seventh of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good, 6/1) 24 days ago. Has been given more of a break since so a better showing not ruled out.

Form: 204437

Jump The Gun⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 81| C

Course winner. Latest win here in June. 9/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 9 days ago, albeit never looking the likely winner. Handicapper slowly relinquishing his grip.

Form: 619365

(2)

Tarroob^t⁶⁹

Lightly-raced winner. 7/4, good second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in July, headed on the line. Undergone wind surgery since and possible she can do better again back on turf.

Form: 314-22

(4)

Tilsitt^p,t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁵⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 78

3 wins from 13 runs this year. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Ayr (8f, good to firm, 7/4) 10 days ago. Tongue strap back on, cheekpieces back on. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 332121

(5)

Kraken Power¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine| OR: 77| C

Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. 25/1, last of 5 in handicap at Musselburgh (16f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Drops back down markedly in trip now but others make more appeal.

Form: 383305

Forecasts

Tarroob (11/4), Tilsitt (7/2), Glasses Up (9/2), Bashosh (5/1), Poet's Dawn (8/1), Howzer Black (10/1), Jump The Gun (12/1), Kraken Power (20/1)

TARROOB boasts a positive profile, twice finding only one too good in all-weather handicaps earlier this year, and, on the back of a wind op, she's fancied to be a lead player given her low-mileage profile on turf. Tilsitt is in excellent form and feared, along with Roger Varian's Bashosh.
