Free-going type who has enjoyed a productive summer, winning a trio of Pontefract handicaps (all 17.1f), latest in ready fashion 10 days ago. Carries 5 lb penalty but not taken lightly.

10/3
Won 3 of his 4 starts on Flat this year, latest when narrowly taking 8-runner handicap at this course (12.5f, good, 7/2) 19 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now but steps into unknown territory trip wise.

17/2
Back to winning ways at Ayr (10f) earlier this month and matched that form when creditable second of 13 in handicap at this course (14f, good) 19 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and will be a player if handling this stiffer test of stamina.

Bagged first win for Jim Goldie in decisive fashion at Catterick (15.9f) last month and followed up in a stronger contest at York (16.2f, good) 17 days later. 6 lb higher now but another bold bid anticipated.

Forecasts

Baez (7/4), Two Auld Pals (11/4), Simple Star (10/3), Yorkindness (10/3), Blow Your Horn (5/1), Glasses Up (17/2)

Verdict

Several of these arrive in top form but BAEZ proved better than ever when scoring at York last month and gets the vote. Stable companion Two Auld Pals is feared most.
