Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68| C

13/2

Proved largely consistent this year, making the frame again when third of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Widest stall could make life awkward.

Form: 425633

Late Arrival²⁸

6/1

Creditable efforts first 2 outings this year and had an excuse last time (stumbled and nearly unshipped rider start). Can make a bold bid to win this race for the second year in succession.

Form: 060-340

Corinthia Knight^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 67| CD

13/2

Five-time C&D who made a sound return from a 4-month break when fourth of 10 over C&D 3 weeks ago. Has to enter calculations.

Form: 896-794

Kath's Toyboy^b²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: D Nolan| T: K Frost| OR: 66| D

Patontheback⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Tutty| OR: 65| D

4/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 6 days ago, suited by way race developed. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 364-263

(7)

Atomise²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 63| D

17/2

Not at best in 2 comeback runs for new yard but could still be building up her fitness and she's been cut a bit of slack by the handicapper. No shock were she to go well.

Form: 2747-57

Impeller^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63| D

South Dakota Sioux⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 68| D

14/1

Career best when comfortably winning 10-runner handicap at Wetherby (5.5f) in June. Creditable efforts on both starts since and ought to be competitive again.

Form: 873132

(11)

Mostallim^b¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 60| D

28/1

Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Another who can't be dismissed.

Form: 597743

Princess Savannah²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 64| D

25/1

Stuck in the mud on Thirsk handicap debut/reappearance but different proposition on a quicker surface when winning a 6-runner seller there next time. More will be needed back in a handicap but she is much less exposed than the majority of these.

Form: 8634-81

(13)

Magical Effect^b¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 57| CD

Forecasts

Patontheback (4/1), Late Arrival (6/1), Gannon Glory (13/2), Corinthia Knight (13/2), Fiscal Policy (7/1), Atomise (17/2), Kath's Toyboy (9/1), Magical Effect (10/1), South Dakota Sioux (14/1), Round The Island (16/1), Wreck It Ryley (18/1), Atlantic Heart (22/1), Princess Savannah (25/1), Mostallim (28/1), Vaunted (33/1), Impeller (40/1)

Plenty with chances in this big-field finale. Course specialist CORINTHIA KNIGHT ran his best race of the season when fourth back here last time and can strike for in-form Archie Watson. Last year's winner Late Arrival had an excuse last time and had been in form prior to that so he's second choice. Kath's Toyboy, South Dakota Sioux and Fiscal Policy are others with plenty to recommend them.
