9/2

Latest win at Nottingham (8.3f) in July. 6/1, showed similar form when creditable third of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, soft) 8 days ago, no extra final 1f. Not out of things for all his draw could well make things tricky.

15/2

One win from 25 Flat runs. Twenty one runs since last win in 2019. Thirteenth of 16 in Leger Legends race at Doncaster (1m) 13 days ago, racing closer to the pace than ideal. Cheekpieces back on.

Captain Corelli¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 65| D

6/1

Latest win at Pontefract (1m) in August. Creditable second of 5 in handicap (11/4) at Carlisle (7.8f, good to soft) 13 days ago, no match for the winner. Finished runner-up from 5 lb lower mark in this race 12 months ago and expected to give another good account.

Motarajel^p⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63| CD

4/1

C&D winner. 10/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 5 days ago, suited by way race developed. Finished out of places just once from 7 starts here and he's a live each-way player operating from last winning mark.

Girl Inthe Picture^v³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: A J Farragher⁽⁵⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 65| D

25/1

Largely consistent this term, adding to May's Bath success at Brighton (1m) last month. 7/4, ran below best when third of 4 in handicap back at that venue (9.9f) 30 days ago but rider takes off handy 5 lb if she can bounce back here.

Bearwith²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: H Bethell| OR: 59

4/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year. 8/1, improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Worth considering in this sort of form.

Harry Love²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 58| C

11/1

Course winner who hit the frame 3 times on AW earlier this season. Recent exploits have been mixed but he arrives here on the back of a respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 22 days ago. Mark has eased a little more.

33/1

8-y-o who tasted success on third start back here (10f) last July. Disappointed at Nottingham (10.2f) later that month and absent since. The betting may well prove a useful guide now.

Fifty Sent²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M L W Bell| OR: 61

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Visored for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap (25/1) at Thirsk (8f, good) 25 days ago, looking awkward and never landing a blow. Headgear discarded now.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Murtagh| T: J Mackie| OR: 55| D

12/1

Latest win at Yarmouth (1m) in August. 7/2, good 1¼ lengths second of 5 in handicap back at that venue (1m, good to firm) 30 days ago. Can give another good account.

Stripzee^b⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58| CD

25/1

C&D winner in July but operating below best more recently, last of 10 in handicap at Redcar (1m, good) 7 days ago. Needs to bounce back if she's to play a prominent role here.

Big Muddy^p²³

20/1

40/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (9.9f, good to firm) 23 days ago, slowly away. Others more persuasive.

Sun Rising¹⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P Hanagan| T: D H Brown| OR: 52| C

50/1

Course winner. Last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March, off bridle before most and heavily eased off. Probably best watched having been absent since.

20/1

Fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (9.9f, good to firm, 22/1) 23 days ago, weakening final 1f. Others make greater appeal.

Forecasts

Motarajel (4/1), Bearwith (4/1), Zumurud (9/2), Anglo Saxson (11/2), Captain Corelli (6/1), Dogged (15/2), Harry Love (11/1), Available Angel (12/1), Selfish Brian (16/1), Captain St Lucifer (20/1), Big Muddy (20/1), Stripzee (25/1), Girl Inthe Picture (25/1), Contrast (33/1), Fifty Sent (40/1), Sun Rising (50/1)

BEARWITH arrives in good order, making it 2 wins from his last 4 starts when seeing off another in-form sort at Ripon (9.7f) 3 weeks ago, and he could be up to defying a 3 lb higher mark. Captain Corelli, who was runner-up in this race 12 months ago, Motarajel and Zumurud head up the dangers in the finale.
