Insolente^p,t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Menzies| OR: 57| CD

5/1

C&D winner in May and in good form since, leading long way when fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago. That form has worked out really well so she has to be taken seriously eased 1 lb.

12/1

Took a step back in the right direction from her tumbling mark when third of 8 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. One to consider.

8/1

C&D winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, good third of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Koropick^t¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Gray| T: C J Teague| OR: 45

50/1

Thirty nine runs since last win in 2017 but not disgraced when fourth of 10 in minor event (20/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good) 13 days ago, never nearer. Others still more persuasive though.

Forecasts

Mehmo (15/8), Insolente (5/1), Jazzagal (13/2), Autumn Flight (15/2), Muatadel (8/1), Hot Scoop (17/2), James Watt (17/2), Jack Of Clubs (10/1), Your Spirit (12/1), Toptime (22/1), Koropick (50/1), Turbo Tiger (80/1), Iconicdaay (100/1)

Plenty with chances but INSOLENTE can boast a C&D win and races off a 1 lb lower mark than when a good fourth here (form proving strong) last time so edges the vote. Tim Easterby took this event 12 months ago and his Jazzagal is feared most on the back of a good C&D second. Paul Midgley's pair Your Spirit and James Watt need factoring in too.
