3/1

El Borracho^t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 132

11/2

Useful hurdler/chaser who hasn't fired on either run this year but looked back in form on the Flat last time, so he's no forlorn hope.

Form: 4134-04

La Domaniale³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 132| CD

9/1

C&D winner. 66/1, fifteenth of 16 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to firm) 38 days ago. Useful at her best but hard to know how much ability she retains.

Form: 6/1932-0

Onemorefortheroad^p⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 128| C| D

3/1

A dual chase winner last season but hasn't fired on his last couple of starts. Has built up an all-or-nothing profile as a chaser but he's capable on his day.

Form: 451-269

Rotten Row^p,t³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: R T Dunne| T: G Hanmer| OR: 118| C| D

15/8

Ex-Irish gelding who left previous efforts for this yard behind switched back to fences and back up in trip when striking here in June. Solid showing at Cartmel since and this is a weak race, so he makes the most appeal.

Form: 245-614

Forecasts

Rotten Row (15/8), Onemorefortheroad (3/1), Al Zaraqaan (3/1), Grey Skies (9/2), El Borracho (11/2), La Domaniale (9/1)

ROTTEN ROW still looked in top form at Cartmel last time and, returning to the scene of his latest success, he's fancied to get the better of Grey Skies, who should be back on his game after a two-month break. Al Zaraqaan is also a player for all that he needs to get back on track.
