5/4

14/1

Failed to build on previous promise when only seventh of 10 in handicap at Ayr (1m, good to firm, 8/1) 18 days ago. However, return to softer ground may help operating 1 lb below last winning mark.

4/1

Course winner who goes well with give underfoot but never figured either start for Adam West during the spring. Has since switched yards/fallen in weights so interesting what the market makes of him.

Form: 80U3-70

Xcelente^p⁹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 71| D

66/1

Winless on turf since debut and been below par in this headgear on each of her last 2 starts, fading over 1f out when sixth of 8 at Doncaster (1m) in July.

Form: 42-0346

Frankelio³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: G Lee| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 68| CD

28/1

C&D winner who returned in good nick, placed in handicaps at Thirsk/York back in May. Not threatened in 2 subsequent outings though, and he's not the easiest to predict.

Form: 00-3240

Gainsbourg⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: E Bethell| OR: 70| BF| D

10/1

Winner at Hamilton (8.3f) in July. 11/4, sixth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 53 days ago, making little impression. Remains early days though, and he may yet get back on the up.

Form: 938316

Tahonta^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 69| C

33/1

Course winner. Last of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Ayr (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago, beaten over 2f out. First-time cheekpieces may sharpen him up and underfoot conditions will hold no fears.

Form: 075730

North Of Amazing¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 69

17/2

11/1, good second of 13 in handicap at Ayr (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago. That effort was with the aid of a good position on the front end but his mark is workable if he can replicate that here.

Form: 454052

Mikmak^p¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Beverley in August. 9/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 412180

Pallas Lord¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 64

28/1

Winner at Carlisle (6.9f) in May. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 13 days ago, not helped by making effort on far side. Back up in trip now but consistency not his strong suit.

Form: 517605

Wots The Wifi Code^p³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁵⁾| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 58| BF| D

16/1

Winner at Ripon (1m) in August. 9/4, well below best when fifth of 6 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Needs to leave that effort in his wake to feature.

Form: 39-8125

Forecasts

Coase (5/4), Regular Income (4/1), North Of Amazing (17/2), Mikmak (9/1), Gainsbourg (10/1), End Zone (14/1), Wots The Wifi Code (16/1), Frankelio (28/1), Pallas Lord (28/1), Tahonta (33/1), Xcelente (66/1)

COASE arrives having found only a thriving sort too strong on his latest start at Ayr (1m) 6 days ago and, equipped with a first-time visor, he's fancied to confirm the promise of that run and come out on top with conditions holding no fears (sole career success gained on heavy). Gainsbourg and North of Amazing are another couple to consider in the finale.
