Night Bear^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: A W Carroll| OR: 72

5/1

Inconsistent overall but to his credit he arrives having posted best effort of the campaign when landing 10-runner handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 11 days ago, making all. Claims if arriving in same form.

Form: 104301

Pub Crawl¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽³⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 76

15/8

Remains a maiden but largely consistent and not seen to best effect when sixth of 12 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, good to soft) 15 days ago, not clear run over 2f out. Fancied to feature.

Form: 224526

Golden Keeper^p⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: S Woods| OR: 74| D

17/2

Off the mark in 4-runner Beverley handicap (12f) in August and possibly not 100% when trailing home last of 4 back at that venue 18 days later. However, form of his victory doesn't look all that strong.

Form: 84514

Wholeofthemoon¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: R Hughes| OR: 74| BF

6/5

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (2/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 19 days ago, headway over 1f out and keeping on. Should give another good account stepping back up in trip.

Form: 44-2322

Gerrots²¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: H J Evans| OR: 67

50/1

Maiden who ran up to best for present yard when runner-up in a C&D handicap back in February but not in the same form when well beaten last of 9 over extended 2m back here the following month. Absent since.

Forecasts

Wholeofthemoon (6/5), Pub Crawl (15/8), Arclight (5/2), Night Bear (5/1), Golden Keeper (17/2), Gerrots (50/1)

Competitive despite the small field with the narrow vote in favour of ARCLIGHT. Successful on her sole start on AW to date, she caught the eye with her move into contention when finishing a close-up fourth at Newmarket (12f) 8 days ago and she could be ready to strike back on an artificial surface. Pub Crawl may emerge next best, ahead of Wholeofthemoon.
