Spider's Bite^v1¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: A Nicol| OR: 105| D

20/1

Unreliable type who remains with one standout effort in the last 3 years, so looks best left alone.

Form: 52P4UP

Raecius Felix¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 105

6/1

Been some time since he scored and makes limited appeal after running poorly here last time.

Form: 5-53333

Tokaramore^p⁸⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Miss Alisa McClung⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 101| C

11/1

Chasing a hat-trick after victories at Cartmel (21.2f) and Hexham (20.1f) and must be taken seriously despite 4 lb higher mark for latest success.

Form: 454411

Rapid Raider²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 93| D

15/8

Backed up Bangor success when taking 10-runner handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, good) 21 days ago, staying on well. 7 lb higher now but looks sure to go well again.

Form: 577411

Six One Nine^v²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C Grant| OR: 90

4/1

Back to form when creditable second in Sedgefield handicap (17f, good to soft, 11/4) last month and looks worth a try at this longer trip.

Form: 51-2462

Lastofthecosmics^p,t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 87

7/2

Modest 20f winner over hurdles who left chase debut form behind when second here (22f, good to soft) earlier this month. May be capable of better yet.

Form: 133-862

Shanbally Rose⁸⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Dylan Johnston⁽⁷⁾| T: R Dobbin| OR: 72

11/1

Still to get her head in front, but she recorded respectable fifth in 20f Perth handicap hurdle in September. Faces no easy task from 7 lb out of the handicap on her chase debut though.

Form: 926F-85

Saint Jude^p¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wilson| OR: 70

50/1

No impact in either start this term and plenty more required if he's to gain a first win here from 9 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 4376-60

Scorpo^b¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Thomas Dowson| T: V Thompson| OR: 64

200/1

Little impact in 5 runs since a fortunate success at Sedgefield in April. 15 lb out of handicap.

Form: 1P-P679

Forecasts

Rapid Raider (15/8), Lastofthecosmics (7/2), Six One Nine (4/1), Raecius Felix (6/1), Shanbally Rose (11/1), Tokaramore (11/1), Spider's Bite (20/1), Saint Jude (50/1), Scorpo (200/1)

RAPID RAIDER is going the right way and is taken to complete the hat-trick. Tokaramore and Six One Nine rate the principal dangers.
