Dapper Man^b¹⁰

15/2

C&D winner. Below-par third of 4 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good, 9/1) 10 days ago. Blinkers back on and needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 365653

Dream Deal¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J Garritty| T: D Brooke| OR: 62

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 6 in handicap (28/1) at Ripon (5f, good) 14 days ago. Can give another good account.

Golden Gal¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 61| CD

9/2

3 wins from 10 runs this year. 9/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 13 days ago. Well in the mix once more.

Astapor¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: J Riches| OR: 57

4/1

Winner at Hamilton in June. Good second of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Expected to be bang there despite a 2 lb rise.

Red Allure^v¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 56| D

9/2

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (6/1) at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Up 5 lb but still very much one to consider.

Brazen Belle²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: G Lee| T: C J Teague| OR: 54| C| D

33/1

Course winner. Latest win at Ripon in June. 22/1, only tenth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to soft) 21 days ago so needs to get back on track.

Form: 571900

Hot Scoop^t,v⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁵⁾| T: S England| OR: 54

10/1

Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. Visored for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm, 14/1) 7 days ago, not ideally placed. No forlorn hope.

Form: 532068

King Crimson¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 8-13| J: K Stott| T: J Butler| OR: 50| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Very good second of 9 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good, 5/1) 10 days ago. Solid claims.

Mrs Bagerran^p1⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: D Swift| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 48

6/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 8/1, good third of 12 in minor event at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 9 days ago, just failing. Cheekpieces on 1st time and not ruled out.

Form: 563403

(6)

Tiltilys Rock¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: A Crook| OR: 45| CD

100/1

C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2020. Last of 8 to Golden Gal in handicap (66/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 13 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 990098

Forecasts

Astapor (4/1), Red Allure (9/2), Golden Gal (9/2), King Crimson (11/2), Mrs Bagerran (6/1), Dapper Man (15/2), Hot Scoop (10/1), Dream Deal (16/1), Brazen Belle (33/1), Tiltilys Rock (100/1)

A few with chances but the vote goes to ASTAPOR who looks the pick of these weights on the form of his excellent recent Redcar second and can go one better now. Red Allure is next on the list on the back of her Carlisle success, although C&D scorers King Crimson and Golden Gal both seem sure to be on the premises too.
