Flatley⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: David Probert| T: A Wintle| OR: 69| BF| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Creditable 3¼ lengths fourth of 12 to Surprise Picture in handicap (9/4) at this C&D 8 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Looks competitive on form.

80/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Newbury (6f, good to firm). Off 98 days ahead of this debut for new yard and he needs to bounce back.

13/2

9/1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 65

20/1

4/1

C&D winner. 14/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Reproduction of that would give him an each-way chance.

Flatley (7/2), Chalk Mountain (4/1), Surprise Picture (9/2), Gannon Glory (5/1), Dakota Power (13/2), Fools And Horses (17/2), Destined (9/1), Powdering (20/1), No Saint (20/1), The Cruising Lord (33/1), Due Date (80/1), Dynamite Katie (100/1)

GANNON GLORY landed a claimer over 6f here in August and, not for the first time, shaped as though this trip is worth exploring when staying on into fourth in a handicap back here (again at 6f) 10 days ago. He gets the nod ahead of Fools And Horses, who arrives here on the back of a couple of decent efforts on turf and she surely has a race in her off this sort of mark. Flatley is also considered and an on-song The Cruising Lord would be a threat, too.
