5/2

Winner of this corresponding race in 2021. One of season's better efforts when short-head second of 10 to Wee Fat Mac in handicap (5/1) at Ayr (5f, good) 13 days ago. Could be ready to take advantage of his reduced mark.

Form: 6368D2

9/2

Successful at Ayr earlier this month. Off just 3 days, not discredited when fourth of 10 in handicap (2/1) at Newcastle (5f) 10 days ago. Can give another good account.

11/1

Made it back-to-back wins when scoring at Southwell in June. 17/2, again left poorly placed when seventh of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Could fare better.

Stormy Pearl^p³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Owen Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 58| CD

5/1

Successful at this C&D in July. Not in the same form when fifth of 7 in handicap back here (6f, good, 9/2) 36 days ago, but she's not one to write off given that she had won on both of her previous course visits.

Form: 7-45215

Twenty-two runs since last win in 2021. Again below form when 4½ lengths eighth of 10 to Wee Fat Mac in handicap at Ayr (5f, good, 33/1) 13 days ago. Best watched.

Forecasts

Glorious Rio (5/2), Cavalier Approach (10/3), Your Spirit (7/2), Wee Fat Mac (9/2), Stormy Pearl (5/1), One Last Hug (13/2), Stallone (11/1), Burtonlodge Beauty (28/1), Nodsasgoodasawink (28/1)

GLORIOUS RIO took another step back in the right direction when narrowly denied at Ayr last time and he can return to winning ways this time around. He is taken to reverse the form with Wee Fat Mac from when the pair met 13 days ago, while Your Spirit can also get involved again after a further drop in the weights.
