10/3

2 wins from 5 runs this year. 10/3, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 34 days ago, well on top finish. Shortlist material.

Hostelry^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 56| D

7/2

Latest win at Ayr in May. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Doncaster (8f, soft) 14 days ago, clear of rest. Going through a good spell at present and is likely to be on the premises again.

Forecasts

Time To Rumble (9/4), My Honey B (10/3), Hostelry (7/2), Nine Elms (7/2), Eagle Prince (10/1), Hill Filly (12/1), Gypsy Whisper (20/1), Distinction (20/1), Six Strings (20/1)

MY HONEY B is going the right way and was well on top at the finish when completing a double at Beverley last time, so she's fancied to complete the hat-trick if they go a sound pace. Recent Ayr winner Time To Rumble is an obvious danger and four-time course winner Nine Elms can't be ruled out.
