Latin Five⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 63| D

50/1

50/1

Winner at Redcar in September on penultimate start for Michael Dods. Only poor efforts since, most recently eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 80/1) 17 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Tantastic⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 62| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in April. Largely creditable efforts in defeat since, though ran poorly when eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 51 days ago. Better over this trip but wide draw will make life difficult again.

John Kirkup^b⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: D Thompson| OR: 62| D

14/1

Won at Musselburgh in May and shaped better than the result when sixth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 48 days ago, short of room over 1f out. COuld be worth keeping an eye out for after that effort, though isn't easiest to catch right and is drawn wide.

Form: 348606

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 61| D

50/1

Winner at Wolverhampton and Goodwood this season. Rare poor effort when seventh of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 41 days ago. Has to overcome disadvantageous draw here.

5/6

C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year, all at this course. Latest win here in August. Another good effort when runner-up over 6f here on Tuesday and should make his presence felt.

Form: 115152

50/1

Arrives below par, only twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (6f, 28/1) 20 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 356260

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Rowan Scott| T: W J Knight| OR: 51

40/1

50/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 23 days ago, badly hampered. Tongue strap on 1st time. Going through motions at present and others are more persuasive.

Age: 9| Weight: 8-8| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 50| D

25/1

Latest win at Doncaster in July but has been down the field on each start since, more than once hinting at temperament. Others are easier to recommend.
