(1)

Dream Show^v⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Mark Winn| T: A Brittain| OR: 80| D

100/1

Very lightly raced in recent years and didn't appear to retain much ability on debut for this yard 6 days ago. Firmly up against it.

Form: 6148/0-0

(9)

On The River²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Aiden Brookes| T: H Bethell| OR: 80| D

11/2

Bagged second win of present campaign when narrowly prevailing at Ripon (1m, good) during the summer. Has generally remained in form since but others appear more threatening.

Form: 414840

(11)

Feel The Need¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁵⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 79| CD

8/1

Resumed winning ways over C&D in May and has backed it up with solid efforts on two of his three starts since, again hitting the frame when fourth at Haydock a fortnight ago. Likely to be on the premises.

Form: 621274

(18)

Cori Glory²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 79| D

50/1

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who was better than ever when winning 6-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, soft) on return in May. Hasn't really fired since, though.

Form: 28-1709

(6)

Bajan Bandit¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: George Bass| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 78| CD

14/1

Thrived for this yard last season, winning handicaps at Haydock/here before filling the frame all 3 starts thereafter. Hasn't recaptured that level this season but there were more positive signs last time and he's been given a chance by the handicapper.

Form: 2-00004

(7)

Be Frank²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Joe Leavy| T: Ian Williams| OR: 76

6/1

Shaped well in some strong early-season handicaps on turf for Henry Candy and not discredited for his new yard so far, finishing well when fourth at Newmarket last time. Worth chancing from an appealing mark.

Form: 394944

(10)

Craven^b⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: O McSweeney| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76| CD

66/1

Resumed winning ways here in July but hasn't fired since and is hard to fancy in such a competitive environment.

Form: 010098

(14)

Danzan^p¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Amie Waugh| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| D

12/1

Well treated in theory and arrives on the back of a respectable effort at Ayr. He's had a number of chances to capitalise on his sliding mark, however.

Form: 540033

(12)

Mostar Dreams¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 74| D

12/1

Winner at Carlisle in June. Bit below form third of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Hamilton (6f, good) 19 days ago. Mark looks quite accurate and she's likely to prove vulnerable.

Form: 318233

(2)

Hectic³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: Roger Fell| OR: 72

9/1

Hasn't won for a while but has been holding his form well (fifth at Carlisle a month ago) and his mark is becoming increasingly appealing, so not without hope.

Form: 356955

(17)

Challet³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 71| CD

12/1

C&D winner who is on a long-losing run and didn't perform at Thirsk last time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 2-95470

(8)

Another Baar¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrew Breslin| T: A Keatley| OR: 71| BF

12/1

Latest win at Doncaster in August. 3/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to soft) 13 days ago, running on. Back up in trip but he's one for the shortlist in his current mood.

Form: 712353

(4)

Mysteryofthesands²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Frederick Larson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72

17/2

Opened his account at Hamilton in July and similar form when third of 13 at Haydock (8.2f, good) last month, clear of rest. Did enough to suggest he probably remained in form when seventh at Ayr (8f, good to firm) just over three weeks ago and not without each-way hope.

Form: 166637

(13)

Miggy Magic⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Aidan Keeley| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 71

50/1

Lightly raced sort who returned from an absence of over a year (had left Tom Dascombe) with a mildly encouraging effort at Kempton 51 days ago. Scope for better but mark looks a bit harsh.

Form: 725-6

(19)

Misemerald⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Pyle| T: P A Kirby| OR: 68| D

33/1

Without a win so far this season and wasn't at his best at Thirsk last time. Break may have done him good but she's likely to find this too competitive.

Form: 764875

(15)

Giselles Izzy¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Archie Young⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 65

25/1

Has enjoyed a productive season and was in good order prior to a rare lesser effort at Hamilton last time. Could bounce back quickly but may find this a bit competitive.

Form: 158136

(5)

No Nay Nicki¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: S D Bowen| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65| D

10/1

Down the weights and returned to form when second at Southwell 12 days ago, finishing to good effect. Claims if she can build on that.

Form: 606082

(3)

Onemorenomore²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 65| D

7/1

Fair handicapper who has been holding form well without indicating that he's ahead of his mark at present. Place claims.

Form: 884643

Forecasts

On The River (11/2), Be Frank (6/1), Onemorenomore (7/1), Feel The Need (8/1), Mysteryofthesands (17/2), Hectic (9/1), No Nay Nicki (10/1), Justcallmepete (10/1), Danzan (12/1), Mostar Dreams (12/1), Another Baar (12/1), Challet (12/1), Bajan Bandit (14/1), Giselles Izzy (25/1), Overlooked (25/1), Misemerald (33/1), Miggy Magic (50/1), Cori Glory (50/1), Craven (66/1), Dream Show (100/1)

BE FRANK is lightly raced for this stable and he looked like he might be about to peak when a staying-on fourth at Newmarket last time, so he gets the nod over Another Baar and Feel The Need, who both arrive in good order. There are a number of others with chances in an open race for the grade.
