14/1

Unreliable sort. Tongue strap on for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Catterick (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Blinkers back on and he needs to bounce back.

10/1

Latest win at Carlisle in August. 7/2, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter if she's to emerge on top but she shouldn't be far away.

10/3

Two wins from 6 runs this year. 9/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D 22 days ago. This 6 lb higher mark demands more but she may well be equal to the task.

Forecasts

Cheese The One (10/3), Variety Island (4/1), My Boy Jack (13/2), Minhaaj (17/2), Starsong (9/1), Ramdon Rocks (9/1), Willing To Please (10/1), Merry Secret (14/1), Zen Dancer (20/1), Foreseeable Future (22/1), Atrafan (28/1), Astapor (40/1), Fylingdale (50/1), Quanah (50/1)

CHEESE THE ONE has clicked since joining the Rebecca Menzies yard, making it 2-4 for the stable with a pretty decisive C&D victory under Owen Lewis last month. She could have enough in the locker to take this 6 lb higher mark in her stride and complete the hat-trick. Fellow 3-y-o filly Starsong showed ability in Ireland and is respected on debut for new connections. She is second choice ahead of Foreseeable Future and Variety Island.
