Another Baar^v¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: F Norton| T: A Keatley| OR: 82| D

9/2

Bagged his third success of the campaign at Beverley in June. Ran well in a first-time visor when third at Goodwood but the headgear didn't work as well at Windsor. Well drawn to attack, at least.

Form: 133930

Dickieburd³^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: S H James| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 76| CD

11/2

C&D winner last summer and career best when doubling tally in 9-runner handicap at Catterick (5f, good, 14/1) on Wednesday, suited by way race developed. Carries penalty and drawn wide but still commands respect.

Form: 663601

Umming N' Ahing⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 80| BF| D

16/1

Completed hat-trick at Goodwood in May and well backed to go in again at that venue later that month, only to finish fifth. Still shaped quite nicely and could easily get back on track returned from a break.

Form: 4-41115

Seantrabh²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 76| D

15/2

Harshly dealt with by the assessor after winning a Catterick novice in the autumn. Respectable third of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, heavy) from reduced mark 28 days ago.

Form: 1-44953

Skallywag Bay¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: R Hannon| OR: 76| D

8/1

Gained both career wins on the AW, latterly at Lingfield in June. Equally effective on turf, 1-length second of 6 to Sugar Hill Babe in handicap (9/4) at Bath (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Likely to give it another good go.

Form: 212322

Fair Wind^h⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 76| D

10/3

AW novice winner in April. Bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) a month later. Off the track since but he's not yet exposed and Buick is a positive booking. Draw 1 also in his favour.

Form: 3214

Paddy's Day¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 73| D

16/1

AW winner in March and better form when runner-up at Redcar in June. Had little chance given how the race unfolded at Wolverhampton and he needs treating as though still in form.

Form: 662368

Profitable Edge²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Barron| OR: 73| D

6/1

Ex-Irish filly who has been a different proposition for this yard, easily winning 4-runner handicap at Ripon last month. 6 lb rise may not prevent the follow up.

Form: 5446-21

(12)

Secret Mistral²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: A W Carroll| OR: 68

25/1

Haydock winner who looked a hard ride when fifth of 8 in handicap at Windsor, hanging left throughout. Possesses plenty of speed so this trip more suitable than 5f last time. Stall 12 an issue.

Form: 24-9354

(3)

Sugar Hill Babe¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 63| D

10/1

Habitual slow starter but bounced right back to form when landing 6-runner handicap at Bath, seeing off Skallywag Bay. Up 4 lb and this track may not be ideal.

Form: 348601

(5)

Pink Stripes¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 47

100/1

Remains a maiden after 17 starts and a long way out of the weights here.

Forecasts

Fair Wind (10/3), Another Baar (9/2), Dickieburd (11/2), Profitable Edge (6/1), Seantrabh (15/2), Skallywag Bay (8/1), Sugar Hill Babe (10/1), Betweenthesticks (10/1), Paddy's Day (16/1), Umming N' Ahing (16/1), Secret Mistral (25/1), Pink Stripes (100/1)

PROFITABLE EDGE took her form to a whole new level when successful at Ripon, and with the prospect of more to come for this stable, she can defy her new mark. Stall 11 could be tricky for Dickieburd but he's in top form, with Fair Wind capable of better.
