Mews House¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 62| CD

11/8

Successful on yard debut over C&D in August and creditable efforts on 3 of his 4 starts since, bumping into one at the top of his game at Hamilton (5f) 10 days ago. Sound claims under Simon Walker.

Strike Me A Pose^b1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 61

15/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 25/1) 11 days ago, making late headway having been left poorly placed. He may yet have more to offer for good yard. Blinkered.

Form: 22455

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Taylor Bradburn⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 53| C| D

16/1

Veteran campaigner who regained winning thread over 6f here in May. Below that level all 5 starts since though, dropping away back here on his latest outing. Usual visor re-fitted.

So Grateful^b⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 52

9/2

Blinkered for 1st time, ran best race for some time when third of 12 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago, no extra only late on. Claims if headgear has desired effect once more.

Bluella¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Lewis Kent⁽⁵⁾| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 47| CD

7/2

Latest win over C&D in April. Runner-up on 3 of her 4 starts since, no match for the winner but keeping on at Musselburgh (5f) 17 days ago. No reason why she won't go well again.

Form: 512622

Angel Eyes¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Mr Matthew Ennis⁽³⁾| T: J Riches| OR: 45

14/1

Remains a maiden after 34 Flat runs. Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft, 40/1) 10 days ago. Others make much more appeal.

Form: 779388

I'll Be Good²²

Age: 12| Weight: 10-6| J: James Robottom⁽⁷⁾| T: A Berry| OR: 45| CD

50/1

Veteran who arrives on a long losing run and having ran well when third at Thirsk (6f) in August, he failed to back that up when last of 9 over 6f here 3 weeks ago. Others preferred.

Tiltilys Rock^p⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss Sophie Smith| T: A Crook| OR: 45| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2020. 125/1, fifth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 5 days ago, never a threat. Cheekpieces refitted now but recent efforts don't inspire confidence.

Form: 009065

Forecasts

Mews House (11/8), Bluella (7/2), So Grateful (9/2), Strike Me A Pose (15/2), Angel Eyes (14/1), Tiltilys Rock (14/1), It Must Be Faith (16/1), I'll Be Good (50/1)

A winner on yard debut over C&D in August, MEWS HOUSE has essentially remained in good order since, finding only one firmly on the up too strong at Hamilton last time, and he gets the nod to come out on top partnered by Simon Walker. So Grateful was perked up by blinkers when third over 6f at Redcar recently and holds claims with a repeat. Bluella completes the shortlist.
