Alligator Alley^t,p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Ben Robinson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81| D

10/1

Put it all together under a change of tactics when ending losing run from the front at Thirsk (5f) in August. Run with credit in trio of starts since and likely he'll be thereabouts again having eased a little in the weights.

Form: 861624

Elegant Erin²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Mark Winn| T: P T Midgley| OR: 79| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in June. Eighth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Hamilton (5f, soft) 26 days ago, weakening final 1f. Likely type to bounce back quickly.

Form: 632108

Rock Of England^b²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 77

11/2

11/2, respectable second of 16 in handicap at this C&D (good) 24 days ago, switched over 1f out and keeping on. Another likely to be in the mix from unchanged mark.

Form: 083342

Ganesha¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 77| D

20/1

16/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago, weakening final 1f. Mark has eased a little more at least back on turf.

Form: 1-85559

Paddy's Day⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 74| D

11/2

Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Doncaster (5f, good) 5 days ago, no extra final 1f. Each-way possibilities with a repeat.

Form: 272564

Good Point⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 75| D

14/1

Returned from a break with a respectable fourth in a big-field C&D handicap in August and easy to ignore his latest last of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f) 8 days ago, not clear run from 2f out and not recover. Comes here fresher than most and stable in good form. Respected.

Form: 401-749

Rodborough¹⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Swift| T: A D Brown| OR: 72| BF| D

50/1

Largely campaigned on all-weather (all 3 career victories gained at Southwell) and he ran respectably when second of 4 in handicap at that venue in April. However, she still needs to prove herself as effective on turf.

Form: 150402

(2)

Mattice^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69| CD

7/2

Won this race from a 1 lb higher mark 12 months ago and made a solid start to the present campaign, adding to his tally at Ripon (5f) in May. Recent efforts have been mixed but latest run can be overlooked and he's not one to write off.

Form: 407580

(4)

Glory Hyde¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 69| CD

11/4

Quickly back on the up when doubling tally in a C&D handicap in July and backed that up when runner-up back here 18 days ago. Nudged up 1 lb on the back of that and she should be thereabouts again.

Form: 412712

(3)

Willolarupi¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 67| CD

12/1

Opened his account over C&D in August and similar form having been raised 4 lb when fourth in a handicap back here 18 days ago. Another commanding respect from a handy draw.

Forecasts

Glory Hyde (11/4), Mattice (7/2), Zarzyni (5/1), Paddy's Day (11/2), Rock Of England (11/2), Alligator Alley (10/1), Willolarupi (12/1), Elegant Erin (14/1), Good Point (14/1), Ganesha (20/1), Dandy Dinmont (25/1), Rodborough (50/1)

Typically competitive fare but MATTICE lines up 1 lb below the mark he was successful from in this race 12 months ago and could be worth chancing from a handy draw, with his latest run here easily overlooked. Alligator Alley is another to consider along with Glory Hyde. Zarzyni, who was a cosy winner at Musselburgh 3 days ago, is another in the mix for all his draw may make things tricky.
