Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 66| CD

7/4

2 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 7/2) 10 days ago, keeping on well. Should give bold show in bid to defy penalty.

Form: 071361

Zig Zag Zyggy^b¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: T P O'Shea| T: J S Goldie| OR: 62| CD

9/1

4-time course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 25/1, best effort for this yard when 2¾ lengths fourth of 7 to Burj Malinka in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 10 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form.

Form: 000-594

Basholo⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S A Gray| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 61| D

22/1

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm, 15/2) 76 days ago. Unexposed over this trip and bred to better than this grade, so looks an interesting candidate.

Form: 538-831

(2)

Quanah⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: L Bailey| OR: 58| CD

10/1

3-time course winner, most recently over C&D in May. 7/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to soft) 70 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Merits consideration on earlier efforts this season.

Form: 0-01324

Kraken Power⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 57| C

12/1

Twenty one runs since sole win in 2020. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (firm, 13/2) 48 days ago. Seemingly going the wrong way.

Form: 040695

(6)

Red Allure^v¹¹

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

9/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Carlisle in August. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter to defy this mark.

Form: 621514

(8)

Slainte Mhath²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Phil Dennis| T: K Scott| OR: 55

7/2

Improved when off mark at Ayr in May. 8/1, returned from break with creditable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 23 days ago. Looks competitive on form and could strip fitter this time.

Form: 555213

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 49

Has gone wrong way since encouraging seasonal return and arrives here with lots to prove.

Burtonlodge Beauty^p³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Mark Winn⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 47

50/1

Good third at Ayr on stable debut in June but hasn't shown anywhere near that form otherwise this season. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 055300

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 45

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 on handicap debut at Ayr (5f, good, 33/1) 25 days ago. Looks poor at this stage.

Forecasts

Burj Malinka (7/4), Slainte Mhath (7/2), Impressor (7/1), Red Allure (9/1), Zig Zag Zyggy (9/1), Quanah (10/1), Kraken Power (12/1), Hot Diggity Dog (12/1), Nodsasgoodasawink (16/1), Basholo (22/1), Burtonlodge Beauty (50/1), Kaze Wo Atsumete (66/1)

BURJ MALINKA carries a penalty for last week's C&D success but should have enough in hand to follow up. Slainte Mhath ran well enough on her return and can pose a threat with a recent run under her belt. Basholo is preferred to Quanah to complete the placings.
