9/2
C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, found run of good form coming to halt when eighth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, heavy) 47 days ago. Capable of going close from this mark if shrugging last effort off.

10/3
C&D winner. Latest win at Musselburgh in July. Good second of 9 in handicap (14/1) at that course (7.2f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Not certain to reproduce that form here but he'll be in the mix if able to do so.

Winner at Doncaster in April. 11/8, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft) 9 days ago, just failing. Visor on 1st time. Any further rain a positive and he's a leading player.

Forecasts

Monhammer (10/3), Highfield Viking (4/1), Cassy O (9/2), Rwenearlytheredad (13/2), Rory (8/1), End Zone (11/1), Hoots Toots (12/1), Merricourt (16/1), Camacho Star (25/1), Shallow Hal (25/1), Earn Your Stripes (40/1)

Verdict

HIGHFIELD VIKING's chances would be enhanced further by any additional rain but John Quinn's charge gets the nod anyway, having held his form well since winning at Doncaster earlier in the year. Rwenearlytheredad has built up a fine rapport with Zak Wheatley and that combination are respected again after winning at Musselburgh last time, whilst both Monhammer and Rory should be in the mix if backing up their latest efforts.

  1. Highfield Viking4/1
  2. Rwenearlytheredad13/2
  3. Monhammer10/3
