Vadamiah¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 77| D

6/1

Lightly raced filly who turned in best effort of the season when second of 9 in handicap at Ripon (5f) 16 days ago, headed last ½f and no extra. On a fair mark if she can build on that here.

Form: 31-5902

Le Beau Garcon^b³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 75| D

7/2

Knocked on the door on several occasions this term, including when third of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (5f) in August, not helped by making his effort away from the first 2. Took strong hold and weakened out of things over 6f on AW latest but no surprise to see a better showing returned to 5f.

Jordan Electrics²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 73| CD

7/2

C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year, the latest at Carlisle (5f) in September. 22/1, respectable third of 20 in Ayr Bronze Cup at Ayr (6f, good to soft) 24 days ago, unlucky not to finish closer. Expected to feature again in present groove.

Form: 060133

Star Of Lady M²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 72| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Beverley (5f, heavy) 26 days ago, weakening final 1f. Others arrive with more pressing claims despite easing mark.

Form: 324708

Havagomecca^p³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 70| CD

18/1

C&D winner. 6¼ lengths fifth of 6 to Albegone in handicap (6/1) at Catterick (5f, soft) 34 days ago. Given a chance by the assessor if return to this venue has positive effect (won this race from 4 lb higher 12 months ago).

Form: 485075

Sugar Baby¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: P D Niven| OR: 70| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Thirsk in June. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 13/2) 14 days ago, ridden 2f out and fading. May be sharper with that run under his belt and this sort of mark certainly not beyond him.

Form: 126387

Jojo Rabbit^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 69| D

14/1

Losing run is mounting up but he did produce best effort of the campaign when runner-up at Catterick (5f) last month. Not scaled same heights either start since though, and he is the type that needs everything to drop right.

Form: 548275

(9)

Albegone^b⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Catterick in September. 15/2, ninth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good) 9 days ago, weakening final 1f. Ease in class a plus but others appeal more for win purposes.

Form: 215159

(1)

Wee Fat Mac^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 60| D

18/1

Latest win at Ayr (5f) in August. Not seen to best effect when fourth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, soft, 13/2) 14 days ago, not ideally placed having missed the break. Each-way possibilities.

Form: 144274

Sixcor^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 58| CD

20/1

C&D winner. 10/1, creditable 2¼ lengths third of 20 to Aconcagua Mountain in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to soft) 25 days ago, keeping on final 1f.

Form: 351953

Forecasts

Le Beau Garcon (7/2), Jordan Electrics (7/2), Sugar Baby (5/1), Vadamiah (6/1), Star Of Lady M (17/2), Albegone (10/1), Jojo Rabbit (14/1), Havagomecca (18/1), Wee Fat Mac (18/1), Sixcor (20/1)

LE BEAU GARCON was below his best over 6f at Wolverhampton on his latest outing 39 days ago, yet he'd previously been knocking firmly on the door from similar marks over the minimum trip, so he gets the narrow vote to bounce back. Jordan Electrics, Sugar Baby and Vadamiah are just a trio of others fancied to feature.
