Aconcagua Mountain^b¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 56| D

9/4

Creditable third of 13 in handicap (7/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Expected to be bang there down to 0-55 company.

Form: 584533

Sixcor^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 56| D

5/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good, 8/1) 17 days ago. Live each-way chance.

Form: 352035

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: B A Curtis| T: L Bailey| OR: 55| D

40/1

22/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) on turf debut 25 days ago. Likely to come up short once more.

Canaria Prince^b⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: T D Easterby| OR: 49| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 13/2) 9 days ago. Should have a part to play off the same mark.

Form: 633854

Cheyenne Nation^p⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 51

20/1

Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft, 16/1) 42 days ago. That certainly wasn't one of his better efforts but eased 3 lb since and will be a threat if able to bounce back.

Form: 79D480

Mrs Bagerran¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 49| BF| CD

5/1

C&D winner in June (sole success from from 33 starts). 9/4, below form fourth of 9 in minor event at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Will probably find one or two too good once again.

Time To Spark¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 50

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, ninth of 10 in maiden (80/1) at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Step forward needed now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 669

James Watt^p²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 48| D

9/2

Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Beverley (5f, good) 2 days ago. Down to a dangerous mark but nevertheless looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 575936

(4)

The Grey Lass²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 45| D

15/2

One win from 21 Flat runs. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good, 9/1) 2 days ago. Others make greater appeal.

Form: 406530

Genevieve^v²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45

33/1

33/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 25 days ago. Record stands at 0-9 and she needs to find improvement from somewhere.

Forecasts

Aconcagua Mountain (9/4), James Watt (9/2), Sixcor (5/1), Mrs Bagerran (5/1), The Grey Lass (15/2), Canaria Prince (12/1), Cheyenne Nation (20/1), Koropick (25/1), Genevieve (33/1), Time To Spark (33/1), Beneficiary (40/1)

ACONCAGUA MOUNTAIN deserves to get his head back in front following a couple of solid recent placed efforts at Ayr and Beverley, and he has every chance of doing so in this contest. The 5-y-o earns the vote ahead of Cheyenne Nation, who has struggled the last twice but the handicapper has cut him some slack and he may well bounce back with a bold show. Canaria Prince and Sixcor are others to consider.
