Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75| D

33/1

Won at Catterick in May but hasn't made any impact in 3 starts since. Notably strong in the betting last time, but others are more persuasive.

John Kirkup³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Thompson| OR: 74| C

80/1

Spacer^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: D Loughnane| OR: 79| D

4/1

Shaped well when second of 4 in handicap (11/2) at Leicester (7f, good) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Merits consideration from same mark.

Form: 130-462

(7)

Deputy^h²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 71| D

9/1

Landed pair of 7f handicaps for Charlie Fellowes last season and ran well when third at Ayr on penultimate outing. Possibly stretched over 1m last time and isn't completed ruled out.

Form: 122-735

Beltane¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Shane Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 77| C

18/1

Course winner. 14/1, returned to form after wind-op when third of 6 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good) 10 days ago. Back up in trip. Only looks averagely treated on form.

Form: 231-803

(4)

Grigadale²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: T D Barron| OR: 70| D

7/2

Winner at Listowel in June. First run since leaving Jarlath P. Fahey when creditable third of 8 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D (good) 21 days ago, sticking to task. Claims from same mark.

Form: 306143

Huraiz^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 68

80/1

Twenty three runs since last win in 2019. 66/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 21 days ago. Back up in trip but hasn't shown much for current yard and is tough to fancy.

Form: 52-5767

(13)

Obee Jo^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66| D

14/1

Seemingly a bit of a lull at present, only fifth of 8 in handicap (17/2) at this C&D (good) 21 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 540955

(5)

Vince Lombardi²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 72

10/3

Shaped encouragingly on stable debut at Newcastle and did well under the circumstances when fifth of 8 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good) 23 days ago, conceding first run. Shortlist material for yard that excels with similar types.

Form: 4314-35

(11)

Classy Al^h⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 63| C

10/1

Has won twice over 6f here this season, most recently in July. Creditable fourth of 12 in a deeper event under same conditions 7 days ago, nearest finish. Should give good account up in trip.

Form: 018414

Spitting Feathers³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 69WS

40/1

Hasn't really threatened to win a race this term and remains opposable despite sliding mark.

Form: 05-6097

(8)

Judgment Call^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: G Lee| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 58

25/1

Again ran creditably when fourth of 6 in handicap at this course (8f, good to firm) 14 days ago but probably needs further respite from the handicapper to be of serious interest.

Form: 8-70544

Forecasts

Vince Lombardi (10/3), Grigadale (7/2), Spacer (4/1), Starshiba (9/2), Deputy (9/1), Classy Al (10/1), Obee Jo (14/1), Beltane (18/1), Judgment Call (25/1), Parys Mountain (33/1), Spitting Feathers (40/1), John Kirkup (80/1), Huraiz (80/1)

VINCE LOMBARDI has shaped with promise on both starts since joining Grant Tuer and can get off the mark for his new yard here. Several others merit consideration, chiefly Starshiba and Spacer, with Grigadale and Classy Al also in the mix.
