5/2

Took his form up a notch when readily winning 11-runner handicap (5/1) at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago. 9lb higher on tapeta debut but must enter calculations.

14/1

10/3, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago. However, this looks tougher and he is unproven on this surface.

11/1

50/1

Latest win at Chester in June. 33/1, below form fourteenth of 22 in handicap at York (5.4f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Nazron (5/2), Toca Madera (4/1), Star Of Lady M (13/2), Jer Batt (7/1), The Caltonian (9/1), Miss Attitude (10/1), Moulin Booj (11/1), Thunder Moor (14/1), Brave Nation (14/1), Equity Law (16/1), Tatterstall (28/1), Manila Scouse (33/1), Copper Knight (50/1), Muker (80/1)

STAR OF LADY M is in the form of her life and a 5 lb penalty for last week's emphatic York victory may not prevent a follow-up here. Nazron and Jer Batt head the list of dangers in what looks a highly competitive finale.
