Saras Hope^h⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Gallagher| OR: 70| D

25/1

Eighth of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Nottingham (5f, good) 9 days ago. Seems to be in a lull for now so easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 474608

Fine Wine^b⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 68| D

16/1

Shaped better than the distance beaten suggested when fourth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Nottingham (5f, good) 9 days ago, going off too hard. Not one to write off making his tapeta debut.

Form: 11-5794

(11)

Our Little Pony¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 68| D

16/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Hinted at revival when seventh of 14 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, heavy, 40/1) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 865-007

(10)

Triple Jaye^p,h³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| CD

11/2

4 wins from 15 runs this year. 4/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D 39 days ago, leading around 1f out and just kept up to work. Up 3 lb and should remain competitive.

Form: 211151

(14)

Lost My Sock^p,t⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67| D

12/1

Ninth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Must improve.

(13)

Impressor^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 67

12/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good, 14/1) 9 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 704800

Strong Power³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 67| D

11/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2020. Shaped much better than the bare result when fourth of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 32 days ago, nearest finish. Merits consideration.

Form: 453464

Tanasoq²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 65| CD

8/1

C&D winner. 40/1, returned to form from out of the blue when second of 14 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago, running on. Every chance if building on that effort.

Form: 683462

(9)

For Peat's Sake^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 63| CD

6/1

C&D winner. 18/1, good third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago. His 2 best efforts for yard have come at this venue so he has to be taken seriously.

Form: 210743

(4)

Van Gerwen¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley| OR: 60| D

14/1

3 wins from 16 runs this year. Latest win at Redcar in October. Again below form when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, heavy, 22/1) 18 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 472100

(8)

Sugar Baby¹²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: P D Niven| OR: 58

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 50/1). Off 126 days. Looks up against it once again.

Form: 35670

(6)

Koropick^v³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: C J Teague| OR: 57| C

4/1

Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2017. Visored for 1st time, creditable second of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 3 days ago, running on. Quick turnaround here but respected.

Form: 294052

(12)

Qaaraat^v²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 53| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (6f, 18/1) 21 days ago. On a long losing run, but has slipped to a workable mark and shouldn't be too far away.

Form: 707250

T: K Dalgleish J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Koropick (4/1), Strong Power (11/2), Triple Jaye (11/2), For Peat's Sake (6/1), Tanasoq (8/1), Denzil's Laughing (8/1), Lost My Sock (12/1), Impressor (12/1), Van Gerwen (14/1), Fine Wine (16/1), Qaaraat (16/1), Our Little Pony (16/1), Saras Hope (25/1), Sugar Baby (33/1)

An open-looking finale with several in with a shout. However, the vote goes to FOR PEAT'S SAKE, whose best efforts have come at this track, and having shown a better attitude than previously when third here 17 days ago, he can double his career tally. Strong Power heads the dangers having shaped much better than the bare result when fourth at Wolverhampton last month, ahead of Triple Jaye.
