Gordonstoun^p³¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: J Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 69| D

33/1

Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Didn't need to improve to win 6-runner claimer (7/2) at Leicester (7f, heavy) when last seen 10 months ago. Suspect he'll better for the run in this handicap.

10/3

5/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 15 days ago, not looking straightforward. 3 lb drop will help his cause.

Temper Trap¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| CD

4/1

Got a hat-trick up this summer. Second run in 24 hours, fourth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good to soft, 8/1) 14 days ago, unlucky not to finish closer having encountered traffic problems late on. New mark has kicked in but he can go well again.

Lockdown Lass²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: G Hanmer| OR: 57| D

2/1

Latest win at Doncaster in July. 7/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good) 20 days ago. Running well and she's one to consider.

Form: 501132

Forecasts

Lockdown Lass (2/1), Alpine Sierra (10/3), Temper Trap (4/1), Tremendous Times (5/1), Violeta (9/1), Showmedemoney (12/1), Gordonstoun (33/1)

TEMPER TRAP would have finished closer with a clearer run at Thirsk last time and could resume winning ways in a trappy handicap. Alpine Sierra might be the danger.
