Turbo Command^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Phil Dennis| T: Mrs A C Hamilton| OR: 65| D

22/1

All-weather maiden winner (at 7f) in Ireland. Little impact in trio of hurdle starts for present yard last year and not at best on Flat more recently, sixth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 12 days ago, fading from 2f out. Mark is easing at least.

Form: 154-646

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 63

12/1

Dual winner on AW back in December who twice went close in handicaps at Southwell/Wolverhampton this spring. However, yet to beat a rival in 2 starts on turf, including when last of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in June. Has switched yards ahead of this.

Far From A Ruby¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 62

7/2

6/4, confirmed previous promise when landing 5-runner handicap at Ayr (1m, good) 11 days ago. Very much having run of race then but she's clearly in good heart at present and possibilities once more.

Mr Strutter¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: T Eaves| T: D Thompson| OR: 61| BF| CD

11/2

3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Musselburgh in June. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 5/2) 19 days ago, never nearer. Should give another good account returned to this venue.

Form: 213534

Key Look^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: G A Harker| OR: 58| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Good second of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 13/2) 16 days ago, fairing best of those that raced near side. One to be interested in from a handy mark.

Clotherholme^p,h¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 57| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good, 5/1) 14 days ago, suited by way race developed. Proving largely consistent this term and good gallop to aim at will aid his cause.

Form: 311562

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: G Lee| T: D Brooke| OR: 54| D

18/1

Twenty one runs since last win in 2019. Tenth of 13 in handicap (17/2) at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Visor back on. Has good chance on pick of form.

14/1

40/1, stepped up on reappearance when close-up sixth of 14 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in July, staying on strongly final 100 yds. Not discounted from this mark.

Magical Effect^p¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 8-11| J: Jamie Gormley| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 48| D

12/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form third of 11 in minor event at this C&D (good to soft, 13/2) 13 days ago, running on late having been caught much further back than front 2. Each-way possibilities.

Form: 0-60453

Audit^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: P J McDonald| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 52

9/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Thirsk (8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Needs to back that up now but possibilities if doing so.

Form: 857362

Forecasts

Far From A Ruby (7/2), Key Look (5/1), Clotherholme (5/1), Mr Strutter (11/2), Audit (9/1), Without Delay (11/1), Patontheback (12/1), Magical Effect (12/1), Josiebond (14/1), Flavius Titus (18/1), Turbo Command (22/1)

KEY LOOK has eased in the weights and arrives having run well when runner-up at Doncaster (7f) 16 days ago, comfortably faring best of those that came stand side. She gets the nod to confirm the promise of that run, with Ayr-scorer Far From A Ruby and 3-y-o Audit just a couple of others to consider.
