Strawman⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 83| CD

9/2

C&D winner in June. Five wins from 17 Flat runs. Shaped as if still in good form when third of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good, 5/1) 59 days ago. Now just 1 lb above his last winning mark, he merits consideration.

Form: 501663

Knightswood²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 82| CD

9/4

C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Not seen to best effect when last of 5 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 11/2) 25 days ago, eased off after no room inside final 1f. Remains early days and this front-runner should give a good account.

Gatecrasher Girl²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: W J Knight| OR: 81

9/1

Improved model when rattling off a quick-fire hat-trick upon returning in handicaps this year, latterly at Doncaster (1m) in June. Has possibly gone off the boil though, only ninth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 20 days ago.

Freak Out³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: G Tutty| OR: 76| CD

8/1

Won this corresponding event from 1 lb lower last year and not disgraced back on all-weather when fourth of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 33 days ago. Good chance of emulating last year's success with Sam James on board for the first time.

Form: 2-30574

Cubana Habana²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 80

12/1

Winner on second start at Hamilton in May but looked uncomfortable on the track when fifth of 6 in handicap (14/1) at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 23 days ago, hanging right from over 2f out. More required.

Sagauteur²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Latest win at York in June. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm, 5/1) 22 days ago, unable to land a blow after very awkward leaving stalls. Worth a second look from easing mark.

American Flag^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: E Walker| OR: 79

3/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, improved when second of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Looks well up to winning from this sort of mark so he's one to consider.

Bollin Margaret^p⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| CD

10/1

C&D winner. 25/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 6 days ago. Seemingly just going through the motions and others make more appeal.

Form: 785746

Forecasts

Knightswood (9/4), American Flag (3/1), Strawman (9/2), Freak Out (8/1), Gatecrasher Girl (9/1), Bollin Margaret (10/1), Cubana Habana (12/1), Sagauteur (18/1)

Gemma Tutty won this contest last year with FREAK OUT and he looks to have an excellent chance of repeating the feat today from just a 1 lb higher mark. Stablemate Strawman won over C&D in June and he may well emerge as the main danger, while American Flag and Knightswood are also fancied to go well.
