11/1

Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good, 33/1) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Chance on old form but has a bit to prove.

2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Carlisle in June. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, heavy, 7/1) 21 days ago. Merits consideration.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 77| D

15/2

Latest win at Carlisle in July. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 40/1) 9 days ago, not seen to best effect. Can't be written off just yet.

Ron O¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: R Craggs| OR: 77| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in April. Seventh of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 10 days ago, left poorly placed. Could build on that and he's on a fair mark.

Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good) 17 days ago. Could feature if everything drops right.

Ey Up Its The Boss^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D Nolan| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 75| C| D

9/1

Course winner. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (14/1) at Thirsk (8f, good to soft) 8 days ago, finding extra. Deserves respect once again.

Form: 237291

Crown Princess¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: G Lee| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 74| CD

11/2

6/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago, all out. Mark remains fair after a small rise, so no reason why she won't go well again.

Form: 772251

12/1

Eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 28/1) 14 days ago. Hard to make much of a case for.

Feel The Need^v1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: B A Curtis| T: D O'Meara| OR: 79

11/1

Temperamental sort. 22/1 and hooded for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. Visor on 1st time. Hard to put much faith in.

Form: 463386

Look Back Smiling²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Tutty| OR: 78| BF

12/1

Latest win at Leicester in August. 4/7, fourth of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 21 days ago, slowly away and probably found the race coming too soon. Still one to be interested in.

Form: 732514

Park Street²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Phil Dennis| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 69| D

12/1

Latest win at Beverley in June. 33/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, heavy) 21 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 061307

Copper And Five^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Joanna Mason| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 69| CD

11/2

C&D winner. 4/1, creditable 1½ lengths third of 8 to Crown Princess in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago. Should give another good account.

Forecasts

Clear Angel (10/3), Copper And Five (11/2), Crown Princess (11/2), Strongbowe (15/2), Spioradalta (8/1), Ey Up Its The Boss (9/1), Feel The Need (11/1), Billyb (11/1), Park Street (12/1), Look Back Smiling (12/1), Roach Power (12/1), Ron O (22/1), Hortzadar (28/1), Toute Chic (50/1), Berkshire Phantom (80/1)

LOOK BACK SMILING quickened to score in ready fashion at Leicester earlier in the month and his next outing at Hamilton probably came too soon, so he's well worth another chance. Recent C&D winner Crown Princess is a danger and another solid showing is expected from Copper And Five.
