Min Till^h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 67| D

11/1

Twice a winner at around 7f during second half of last season. Reappearance run best excused at Doncaster in June and faded out of things tackling soft ground when sixth of 11 in handicap at Chester (7f) 18 days ago. Forecast better ground here rates a likely plus.

Form: 12D9-06

Nefyn Dawn⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 66

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 28/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 40 days ago, shaping as if better for the run following 4 months off/on back of wind op. May well be sharper with that under his belt down in trip.

Panama City^t1⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mathers| T: I W McInnes| OR: 65| CD

100/1

C&D winner. 100/1, first run since leaving Tim Easterby when last of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, soft) 5 days ago, dropping away quickly.

Form: 599-000

Powdering²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 69

4/1

Showed improved form to make a winning return/handicap debut at Hamilton (8.3f) in June. Not in quite the same form when third in 6-runner handicap here (8.4f) 24 days ago but eases in class now and drop to 7f may help.

Form: 354-13

(8)

First Greyed^v¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 63| D

4/1

Fallen below last winning mark and ran best race of the campaign when second in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago, headway 2f out and keeping on. Live player with a repeat.

Form: 170-082

Sassoon^p²⁹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: B Haslam| OR: 57| D

40/1

Ended 2021 with success in a Redcar seller (1m, soft) but disappointing confined to just 2 starts last term. Returns from 9 months off with plenty to prove.

Form: 0001/00-

Purple Martini¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: G Lee| T: B Haslam| OR: 63| D

5/2

2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Musselburgh in May. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Chester (7f, soft) 18 days ago, making eye-catching late headway. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 4-14153

Mister Sox^b1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58

7/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at this course (8.4f, good to firm) 25 days ago, weakening final 1f. Blinkers on 1st time.

Form: 83-3675

Clotherholme^p,h⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: P Hanagan| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 51| C| D

5/1

Course winner. Good third of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 52 days ago, keeping on well. Hood back on. Can give a good account again.

Form: 5-57643

(11)

Girl From Italy¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: M Walford| OR: 52

22/1

Maiden who ran best race to date when runner-up in a C&D handicap in June. Not managed to replicate that in 2 starts since though, fourth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Operates from career-low mark now at least.

Form: 76-4254

Forecasts

Purple Martini (5/2), First Greyed (4/1), Powdering (4/1), Clotherholme (5/1), Mister Sox (7/1), Min Till (11/1), Spells At Dawn (20/1), Girl From Italy (22/1), Nefyn Dawn (40/1), Sassoon (40/1), Panama City (100/1)

Already twice a winner this season, PURPLE MARTINI quickly returned to form and was noted doing good late work when third at Chester 18 days ago. Operating from a 1 lb lower mark, she earns the vote to come out on top, with First Greyed and Powdering heading up the dangers. Girl From Italy is another to note having run her best race to date over this C&D.
