9/2

Landed this race from a 5 lb higher mark 12 months ago. 11/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap back at this course (11.2f, soft) 15 days ago, meeting some trouble. Has good chance on pick of form and this is easier back in trip.

3/1

Course winner. Good second of 9 in handicap (11/4) at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago, edged out final 50 yds. Likely player again in present groove.

Form: 4-27432

Tremendous Times¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 70| BF

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden who fared better than previously when second on return/handicap debut at Haydock (10f) in May. However, he does need to shrug off a lesser display back at that venue last month.

Form: 446-28

10/1

Hooded for 1st time, bit below form third of 7 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 15/2) 16 days ago, making only laboured progress from 2f out. Others preferred.

Form: 532-453

Forever Proud²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Gray| T: James Horton| OR: 65

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm, 7/1) 28 days ago, plugging on final 1f. This stiffer test promises to suit on that evidence and she may yet have more to offer.

Form: 87-386

Dandy's Angel¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 53

10/3

Latest win at Beverley in June. 18/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good) 10 days ago. Consistency is proving hard to knock and each-way possibilities once more.

Form: 463132

Distinction^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: F Norton| T: J Mackie| OR: 49

9/2

One win from 40 Flat runs. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 12/1) 14 days ago. May just find a few too good again here.

Form: 442345

Forecasts

Strangerontheshore (3/1), Dandy's Angel (10/3), Distinction (9/2), Jewel Maker (9/2), Tremendous Times (13/2), Camusdarach (10/1), Forever Proud (11/1)

Successful in this race from a 5 lb higher mark 12 months ago, JEWEL MAKER can probably have his run in the Cumberland Plate here last month overlooked and, having previously highlighted he's coming to the boil, Tim Easterby's 8-y-o could well be ready to strike back at this more suitable trip. Strangerontheshore and Forever Proud, who looks worth a try at this longer trip, head up the dangers.
