Quintus Arrius²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: T Eaves| T: P D Niven| OR: 75| D

18/1

17/2, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 25 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Has slipped in the weights significantly and has a handy draw after recent return to form.

Form: 08-4303

Formidable Force⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Ray Dawson| T: J Ferguson| OR: 79| D

3/1

11/4, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 60 days ago. Shortlist material.

Form: 63-41

(10)

Emily Post^h²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 72| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 27 days ago, merely closing up late. Not ruled out.

Form: 142-686

Travis^p³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: G A Harker| OR: 75| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Winner here in June. 5/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 32 days ago, slowly away. First run for yard after leaving George Boughey. Return to this trip is in his favour and he has a reasonable draw, so worth a market check.

Form: 342128

Late Arrival¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 70| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 10/3, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good) 19 days ago. Not without hope.

Form: 136214

No Nay Nicki^v¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 69| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Creditable sixth of 17 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm, 14/1) 12 days ago. Worthy of some interest.

Form: 906606

Oso Rapido^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 68| CD

22/1

C&D winner. 10/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good) 11 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 070506

Midnite Runner^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 72

4/1

14/1, good third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good) 19 days ago. On a handy mark and deserves respect.

Form: 10-5003

(8)

A Girl Named Ivy⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Dods| OR: 70| D

33/1

Left debut form well behind when scoring at Ayr on return in May but failed to beat a rival at Thirsk next time. Has had a break and it's too soon to completely rule her out.

Form: 9-10

(7)

Catton Lady⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 70

15/2

4/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 43 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 3-36323

(6)

Music Society^p¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2022. Bit below form thirteenth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm, 25/1) 12 days ago. Last couple of efforts are best overlooked and he's edging to a feasible mark.

Form: 367480

Forecasts

Formidable Force (3/1), Midnite Runner (4/1), No Nay Nicki (11/2), Catton Lady (15/2), Late Arrival (17/2), Travis (12/1), Emily Post (12/1), Music Society (14/1), Quintus Arrius (18/1), Oso Rapido (22/1), A Girl Named Ivy (33/1)

FORMIDABLE FORCE improved a chunk to make a winning handicap debut at Lingfield a couple of months ago and he's worth a chance to defy a rise at the possible expense of Late Arrival, who has an excellent draw and ran with credit here recently. Catton Lady is another player and Midnite Runner can't be ruled out.
