5/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 9/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (1m) 35 days ago. Handicapper has relinquished his grip a little more and ease in class rates a plus. All wins on turf gained on ground softer than good.

Antagonize¹¹

4/1

Front runner who is winless this campaign but ran respectably despite doing too much too soon when fourth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Drop down in class a plus if he can channel his energy a little more efficiently.

Silver Dust^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Phil Dennis| T: G Boanas| OR: 63| D

28/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Still, bettered previous efforts this term when sixth of 8 in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Mark has fallen plenty if he can build on that now.

9/1

Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good, 14/1) 7 days ago, pushed along under 2f out and running on. Now operating 1 lb below last winning mark and not out of things.

7/1

Latest win at Beverley in July. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm, 11/2) 23 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Clearly in good heart at present and not ruled out.

Forecasts

Royal Prospect (2/1), Antagonize (4/1), Little Jo (5/1), Stoney Lane (7/1), Fergie Time (15/2), Ayr Empress (9/1), Bastille (12/1), Silver Dust (28/1), Sixstar (50/1), Capple Girl (66/1)

ROYAL PROSPECT arrives here in rude health, pulling clear with a next-time-out winner when registering another C&D success 8 days ago, and another bold showing could be in the offing again partnered by Paul Mulrennan under a 4 lb penalty. Ayr Empress, on the back of a respectable run at Hamilton, Little Jo and Stoney Lane head up the dangers.
