Koy Koy¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: D Tudhope| T: G Boughey| OR: 99| D

10/3

Making all-weather debut, better than ever when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 5/1) 16 days ago. Will need to continue his progress as he goes back up in grade (mid-field in this race last year).

Form: 375-021

Revich^v²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Spencer| OR: 95| CD

9/2

Successful at Chester (7.6f) in May and bounced back from a lesser effort when third of 12 in handicap at the same C&D (good to soft, 12/1) 3 weeks ago. Won this race in 2021 and a close third last year, so could be thereabouts once more.

Isla Kai²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 93| D

4/1

Back up in trip, confirmed promise of previous run when winning 8-runner handicap at Ripon (1m, good, 5/2) 26 days ago, just kept up to work. Enters calculations in his current form.

Redarna^p³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 90| CD

10/1

Seven-time course winner. Returned to form when winning 8-runner handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to firm, 11/1) 31 days ago, well on top finish. Task is now to back up his latest effort.

Form: 40-0691

Sirona²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 93

20/1

Failed to repeat her previous effort when eighth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at York (10.2f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Others more persuasive as she drops back down in trip.

Form: 18-4028

Stormbuster³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding| OR: 89| D

14/1

After 12 weeks off, took step back in right direction when eighth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 14/1) 37 days ago. However, has something to find as he steps back up in grade.

Form: 18-5608

Titan Rock²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 85| C| D

11/2

Course winner who got back to winning ways at Wolverhampton in March. After 11 weeks off, left a couple of below-par efforts behind when second of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to soft, 13/2) 22 days ago. Major player.

Form: 512602

Fools Rush In¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 82| D

9/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2022, though fared better than of late when fourth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 33/1) 10 days ago. Has dropped further in the weights but more needed to take advantage.

Form: 650704

Judgment Call²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: D Allan| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 80| BF| C

12/1

Dual course winner whose latest success came at Musselburgh (7.2f) in August. Not ideally placed when third of 5 in handicap back at Musselburgh (good to firm, 5/2) 24 days ago. May just find others better treated.

Forecasts

Koy Koy (10/3), Isla Kai (4/1), Revich (9/2), Titan Rock (11/2), Diamondonthehill (8/1), Fools Rush In (9/1), Redarna (10/1), Judgment Call (12/1), Stormbuster (14/1), Sirona (20/1)

TITAN ROCK left behind a couple of lesser efforts when runner-up at Thirsk last time and, having won at this meeting back in 2021, he remains well treated on old form. The 5-y-o can build on his latest run to record a second victory of the season, though Revich is respected as he bids for a second success in this race. Isla Kai also merits consideration.
