11/2

Hasn't won for a while and only eighth of 9 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good) 52 days ago on his final run for Stuart Williams. More needed for his new yard.

4/1

Resumed winning ways at Thirsk in May but he arrives below par, only twelfth of 17 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 7 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 144060

Dandy Dinmont¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 75| D

9/2

3-time winner last season. Yet to score this term but holding his form well, fifth of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Can go well again.

Speedacus^v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| D

10/1

Dual 5f scorer this year, latest at Doncaster in July. Below-form fifth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, heavy) 21 days ago. Not taken lightly if shrugging off latest effort.

Form: 157175

Straits Of Moyle¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 73| D

15/2

Ended a losing run in 6-runner handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Stuck to his task well there so very much one to consider for his new yard despite taking a 3 lb rise.

Form: 363251

Rogue De Vega⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Coakley| T: Tom Clover| OR: 74| D

22/1

Winner at Chelmsford City (5f) in May. Took keen hold when only tenth on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton (6f) last month so not written off back at the minimum trip.

Form: 2120

Saaheq^p¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Mia Nicholls⁽⁷⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 71| D

16/1

Two-time 5f winner at Chelmsford City in the spring. Only eleventh of 16 at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago so needs to get back on track.

Form: 316480

(5)

Foreseeable Future^v²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 68| D

8/1

Arrives on a hat-trick after recent 5f wins at Thirsk and Musselburgh. Up another 5 lb but he's firmly in the picture once more.

Form: 430211

(7)

Stone Of Destiny⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 67| D

9/1

Untrustworthy individual. 9/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Thirty four runs since his last win in 2020, however.

Form: 485476

Tallulah Myla^t¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 69

11/1

Arrives in decent nick, tongue strap on when fourth of 6 to Straits of Moyle in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Not the easiest of rides but no forlorn hope.

Form: 305434

Forecasts

Cooperation (4/1), Dandy Dinmont (9/2), Above (11/2), Straits Of Moyle (15/2), Foreseeable Future (8/1), Stone Of Destiny (9/1), Speedacus (10/1), Tallulah Myla (11/1), Saaheq (16/1), Rogue De Vega (22/1)

STRAITS OF MOYLE displayed a good attitude when getting back to winning ways at Yarmouth so looks the way to go here having made an excellent start to life for Robert Cowell. Hat-trick seeking Foreseeable Future rates the obvious threat, with consistent duo Dandy Dinmont and Tallulah Myla appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
