Casilli³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 78| D

4/1

Bagged a fourth win of the year (all under Joanna Mason) when seeing off 5 rivals at Beverley (1¼m) last month. Did that fairly readily so a 5 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid.

Form: 142311

Myristica²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80| BF| D

13/8

Showed improved form when doubling career at Ripon (1¼m) in August and has recorded 2 solid efforts in defeat there since. Likely to give another good account.

Form: 443123

(4)

Noble Crusade¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 78

4/1

Doubled career tally under a change of tactics at Carlisle (9f) in July. Not at the same level in her 3 outings since but as a result she has dropped back to that Carlisle mar/.

Form: 341366

Silvestris²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 73

14/1

Respectable fourth of 7 at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm, 16/1) 21 days ago but she is now 0-8 in handicaps this year so others are preferred for the win again.

Form: 425264

Finally Mine¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Shane Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 64

10/1

Not disgraced at Ayr last time but she's still a maiden and the suspicion is she'll find the odd one too strong again. Engaged 4.20 Hamilton Monday.

Form: 440465

(3)

My Little Queens¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 61

5/1

A winner at Musselburgh and Hamilton this summer but wasn't able to complete the set of Scottish Flat track victories over C&D last time, albeit she was only beaten a length into sixth.

Form: 5-61156

Forecasts

Myristica (13/8), Noble Crusade (4/1), Casilli (4/1), My Little Queens (5/1), Finally Mine (10/1), Silvestris (14/1)

CASILLI has gone from strength to strength this year and is fancied to defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. Tim Easterby's Myristica can give her most to do ahead of My Little Queens.
