Red Alert⁷⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| CD

4/1

C&D winner back in January but form has completely gone the wrong way, seventeenth of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 70 days ago. Others are preferred.

Polam Lane^p1²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Robinson| T: T D Barron| OR: 58| D

7/2

Latest win at Carlisle in June. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Can hang left, so hopes that could be allayed by application of cheekpieces.

Form: 773135

Freedom Flyer^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 57| CD

3/1

C&D winner was good third here last month but underlined inconsistency when only seventh of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 404037

Steelriver⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 9-7| J: Harrison Shaw| T: M Herrington| OR: 56| CD

15/2

4-time C&D winner. Blew his chance at the start when sixth of 9 in claimer at this C&D 5 days ago. Needs to improve on bulk of recent efforts.

Form: 758266

Prophecy²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: N Callan| T: S Durack| OR: 54

5/1

Shaped encouragingly on return (also yard debut) but went backwards from that when only sixth of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Probably best watched.

Form: 0260/56

Peachey Carnehan^v¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 51| CD

6/1

3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Hamilton in May. 15/2, again ran creditably when sixth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Holding form well recently and holds solid claims.

Form: 416336

Secret Potion^p⁸⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: T E Whelan| T: R Harris| OR: 49| C| D

28/1

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Kept on gradually when sixth of 12 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 9/1) 85 days ago. Handicapper has given him bit of a chance.

Forecasts

Freedom Flyer (3/1), Polam Lane (7/2), Red Alert (4/1), Prophecy (5/1), Peachey Carnehan (6/1), Portelet Bay (6/1), Mops Gem (7/1), Steelriver (15/2), Tom Tulliver (14/1), Secret Potion (28/1)

PEACHEY CARNEHAN has a decent C&D record and arrives here on the back of a series of creditable efforts, so is the pick to get the better of Polam Lane, who could well improve for the application of headgear.
