3/1

Back on the scoreboard when taking 11-runner handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Just 2 lb higher now and is one for shortlist.

Made the frame twice this season but not scored since 2021 and others more appealing.

16/5

Had a highly productive summer, scoring 4 times, latest a 10-runner handicap over C&D last month. Posted solid third at Hamilton since and should give another good account here.

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Aiden Brookes| T: H Bethell| OR: 61| D

9/2

Dual winner at this sort of trip in May and not disgraced over longer trip here on penultimate start. Remains fairly treated if bouncing back from a rare poor effort at Leicester last time.

Form: 27-1149

9/2

Scored twice at Brighton (both 9.9f) this summer and arrives on back of respectable third of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) 52 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Alex Jary⁽⁶⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 59

10/1

Fared better than of late, in first-time visor, when second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 18 days ago. Still looking for first success, though.

Foursome⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Mia Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: Olly Williams| OR: 45

14/1

Remains a maiden after 20 attempts and there was little encouragement taken from her latest start at Chelmsford City (14f) 9 days ago. 1 lb out of the handicap.

Coriano Ridge²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Sam Feilden⁽³⁾| T: Olly Williams| OR: 45

28/1

Still looking for first win and made little impact at Leicester last time, left behind gradually before finishing fifth of 9 in 10f handicap. 1 lb out of the weights. Hard to fancy.

Form: 6-99495

Forecasts

Jewel Maker (3/1), Dandy's Angel (16/5), Bearwith (9/2), Sun Festival (9/2), Iconique (17/2), Duke Of Wybourne (10/1), Foursome (14/1), Coriano Ridge (28/1)

JEWEL MAKER returned to winning ways at Redcar last week and remains fairly treated on old form. He can follow up. Dandy's Angel and Sun Festival should also go well.
