Precision Storm^p,t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 63| CD

15/2

3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Bath in June. 20/1, again ran below form returned to all-weather when seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D 2 weeks ago.

Form: 541307

Renesmee^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 61| BF

6/1

Again ran well having managed to avoid trouble when second of 11 in handicap (5/2) at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) just under 3 weeks ago, running on. Cheekpieces back on. Has good chance on form.

Form: 407522

Panama City^h,t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: I W McInnes| OR: 61| CD

12/1

Course winner. Run best excused when eighth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 11 days ago, stuck wide in a strongly-run race. Others preferred nonetheless.

Form: 169508

Lia Rose⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: Rae Guest| OR: 63

15/2

Ran what has to be considered a rare below-par race when third of 4 in handicap (9/4) at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 46 days ago. Makes all-weather debut. Is totally exposed so others more persuasive.

Form: 423723

Dingwall^h³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: I Jardine| OR: 62

17/2

Winner at Ayr in July. Possibly unsuited by conditions when eighth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, soft, 11/2) 37 days ago. This is just his second all-weather start and he could fare better.

Form: 5-75148

(8)

Speed Court^p²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Young| OR: 62

66/1

9/1, ran even worse after 8 weeks off when last of 8 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, soft) 26 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Harry Eustace (for just 1,600 gns). Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 532-488

(4)

Toronto Raptor^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Finley Marsh| T: M L W Bell| OR: 62

11/2

Again came up short of his Pontefract form when fourth of 7 in handicap at Epsom (12f, soft, 9/1) 23 days ago. Back down in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 7-80264

(7)

Baritus Bellator^p1,t⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 61

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Took a step forward but didn't look altogether straightforward when fourth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 5/1) 51 days ago. No surprise to see cheekpieces on now.

Form: 75664

Persian Phoenix⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 61| BF| C

17/2

Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when seventh of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 9 days ago. Finished runner-up 4 times on the spin in the summer so she can't be ruled out yet.

Form: 222257

(9)

Apache Canyon⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: M Wigham| OR: 60

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, dropped a chunk in the weights after his handicap bow and matched previous efforts when third of 12 at Chelmsford City (8f) 7 days ago. Needs to build on that.

Form: 85683

(5)

Paddy Mayne¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁵⁾| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 59

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Again ran to only a modest level when fifth of 7 in handicap (33/1) at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago, slowly away. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 55-005

(10)

The Bobster¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Murtagh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 56

5/1

Found enough improvement for the step up in trip to get off the mark on his all-weather debut in 10-runner handicap (well-backed 5/2) at Newcastle (10.2f) 18 days ago. Nudged up just 2 lb and can make his presence felt.

Form: 0-85041

Forecasts

The Bobster (5/1), Toronto Raptor (11/2), Renesmee (6/1), Baritus Bellator (13/2), Lia Rose (15/2), Precision Storm (15/2), Dingwall (17/2), Persian Phoenix (17/2), Panama City (12/1), Apache Canyon (16/1), Paddy Mayne (40/1), Speed Court (66/1)

A tricky finale to solve but the vote goes to RENESMEE, who has found just one too strong on her last couple of starts but reapplied cheekpieces could eke out that bit extra. The Bobster found enough improvement for the step up in trip when scoring on all-weather debut at Newcastle recently, so he heads up the opposition, with Persian Phoenix and Baritus Bellator another couple worth considering, also.
