Lovely Mana^p⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: K Stott| T: G Boughey| OR: 91| C

16/1

Course winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year, the latest at Sandown in July. 9¼ lengths last of 8 to Manaccan in listed race at Doncaster (5f, good, 22/1) 41 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and claims back in handicap company off a workable mark.

Form: 114678

Aasser¹⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 89| D

4/1

Latest win at Lingfield in April. 10/1 and visored for 1st time, bit below form eighth of 19 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm), unsuited by emphasis on speed. Off 103 days and likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 1-16228

Rathbone^p³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 88| D

22/1

Latest win at Hamilton in July. 66/1, twenty-fourth of 25 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 31 days ago. Needs to bounce back in a major way.

Devil's Angel³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 86| CD

18/1

Three-time C&D winner. Latest win at Haydock in August. Twentieth of 25 in handicap (28/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 31 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 815150

Equiano Springs³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: D Tudhope| T: T P Tate| OR: 86| CD

7/1

10/3, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago, cosily. More needed up 5 lb but boasts a good strike rate on the AW and he merits respect.

9/2

Quest For Fun²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: G Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 83| D

10/1

Two wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Ayr in July. 9/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 24 days ago. Went close twice over C&D as a 2-y-o and he's not ruled out.

Oso Rapido³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 82| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Catterick in July. Twenty-first of 25 in handicap (20/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 31 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Others preferred for win purposes.

Form: 168420

Spartan Fighter^v³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 81| CD

28/1

Five-time C&D winner. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 33/1) 35 days ago. Will be a threat were he to bounce back.

Form: 114487

Asadjumeirah^p,t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 80| CD

9/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 17 runs this year. 12/1, below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good) 24 days ago. Others more persuasive on this occasion.

Form: 872400

Fast And Loose^b1³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 81| D

14/1

Winner at Catterick in July. 40/1 and blinkered for 1st time, very good second of 24 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 32 days ago, sticking to task. Major player if able to back that up now returned to the AW.

Tothenines²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 78| D

12/1

Winner at Ripon in June. 5/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Ayr (6f, soft) 21 days ago, running on. Improvement will be needed if he's to bag this prize.

Form: 612773

(6)

Jordan Electrics²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Rowan Scott| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 74| D

18/1

Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Ayr (6f, soft, 9/1) 21 days ago, folding. Wasn't far behind Fast And Loose when fifth in the Ayr Bronze Cup on penultimate start and will be in with a shout if on-song.

Form: 894950

(7)

Water Of Leith²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: S H James| T: J S Goldie| OR: 74| D

10/1

Three wins from 23 runs this year, the latest at Ayr in August. Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Ayr (6f, soft) 21 days ago, missing break. Possibilities if he gets away on terms here.

Forecasts

Aasser (4/1), Runninwild (9/2), Equiano Springs (7/1), Asadjumeirah (9/1), Water Of Leith (10/1), Quest For Fun (10/1), Tothenines (12/1), Fast And Loose (14/1), Lovely Mana (16/1), Devil's Angel (18/1), Jordan Electrics (18/1), Oso Rapido (20/1), Rathbone (22/1), Spartan Fighter (28/1)

JORDAN ELECTRICS came from further back than the two that beat him on the near side when fifth of 24 in the Ayr Bronze Cup, including the re-opposing Fast And Loose, and he meets that rival on 6 lb better terms here, despite finishing just a length adrift of him. The 6-y-o failed to fire back at Ayr next time but will have every chance if he puts his best foot forward here. Fast And Loose can be expected to give another good account and is shortlisted, along with Equiano Springs and Lovely Mana.
