Half Moon Rising^p⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: Ben Robinson| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 64| D

17/2

Has reacted very well to cheekpieces and on a hat-trick after recent 7f wins at Carlisle and Catterick. Had 5½ lengths to spare at latter track 9 days ago and a 6 lb penalty seems unlikely to prevent a bold bid.

Form: 3-40511

Novak²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 65| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 9 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Engaged 8.00 Newcastle Tuesday.

Haworth Star^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

12/1

15/2 and hooded first time, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago, well on top finish. Back up in trip. Can make presence felt again.

Form: 3200-91

15/2

Winner at Catterick in July. Runner-up next 3 starts (including twice over C&D) and may have found a busy spell catching up with him when well held at Catterick last time. Freshened up since.

King's Crown^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: D Nolan| T: M Dods| OR: 62

11/2

One win from 25 starts and that was back in 2022. Did record his best effort of the current campaign when second of 12 at Newcastle (7f) 9 days ago but others are preferred for win purposes again.

Pembrokeshire^h²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 61| CD

20/1

C&D winner in July. Ran poorly over 6f here 3 weeks later but back on song when a close fifth of 10 at Musselburgh (7f, good) 22 days ago. Drawn widest.

Profiteer²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63| BF| D

5/1

Winner at Thirsk (7f) in June and remained in form with 4 runner-up finishes from his 5 outings since. Likely to give another good account.

Form: 125222

Braes Of Doune^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 60| CD

11/2

Won over C&D and at Musselburgh (1m) in August. Shaped better than the bare result when third of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) 8 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Shortlist material for Goldie and Mulrennan.

Form: 231183

Ahamoment⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: T D Barron| OR: 59| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7f, 13/2) 9 days ago. More than capable off this mark.

Form: 688074

Jkr Cobbler¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 59| CD

18/1

Three-time C&D winner. Creditable 2¾ lengths third of 12 to Haworth Star in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Another who has to enter the reckoning.

Form: 985373

Black Friday¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Joanna Mason| T: R M Smith| OR: 57| CD

33/1

Four-time course winner but has largely struggled since the latest one last August. His mark has come down a long way as a result but others are more obvious.

Form: 406850

Rwenearlytheredad⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 56| D

14/1

Showed form for the first time this season when 3¼ lengths third of 9 to Homer Stokes in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 9 days ago. The fact he was a close third to End Zone in this 12 months ago from 7 lb higher makes him of some interest.

Form: 969783

End Zone^b²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 56| CD

22/1

Not obviously at the top of his game but the fact he won a division of this race last year off 6 lb higher makes him a dangerous one to discount.

Forecasts

Profiteer (5/1), Braes Of Doune (11/2), King's Crown (11/2), Sir Garfield (15/2), Novak (17/2), Half Moon Rising (17/2), Ahamoment (9/1), Haworth Star (12/1), Rwenearlytheredad (14/1), Jkr Cobbler (18/1), Pembrokeshire (20/1), Carvalhal (20/1), End Zone (22/1), Black Friday (33/1)

The vote in a very competitive finale goes to BRAES OF DOUNE, who was an eyecatcher when third at Carlisle last week. The hat-trick seeking Half Moon Rising heads the many dangers along with Haworth Star and last year's third Rwenearlytheredad, who returned to form when third at Catterick last Tuesday.
