Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 75| D

15/2

Three wins from 7 runs this year, latest of them at Redcar in June. Good second of 9 in handicap (11/2) at York (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago and a repeat of that will see him involved.

Form: 211192

The Cookstown Cafu^p1⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 75

3/1

Backward step when last of 7 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to soft) 55 days ago, having run of race from the front but he carried his head awkwardly. No surprise headgear is on.

Form: 742-357

12/1

Latest win at Doncaster in June. Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 6 days ago, never nearer. Worth a shot at 7f.

Burning Emotion²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 71

4/1

Good second of 6 in handicap (8/1) at this course (6f, good) 21 days ago, though she did hang left late on.

Form: 21-3432

(3)

La Feile²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68| D

6/1

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm, 3/1) 26 days ago. 3 lb rise won't prevent a bold follow-up bid.

Form: 0-55541

(6)

Cobra Kai⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Billy Garritty| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 58| D

5/2

First run since leaving Ben Haslam and landed a punt in 7-runner handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good) 8 days ago, well on top finish. Carries penalty but likely there's more to come.

Forecasts

Cobra Kai (5/2), The Cookstown Cafu (3/1), Burning Emotion (4/1), La Feile (6/1), Ey Up Its The Boss (15/2), Raydoun (12/1), Sweet Mist (18/1)

COBRA KAI landed a gamble in some style making his debut for Keith Dalgleish and on that evidence there's every chance he will shrug off a penalty. Ey Up Its The Boss and La Feile can offer most resistance.
