Lowton^b⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 82| D

7/2

Developed into a useful performer over 7f last year and made a respectable return from 11 months off in a Southwell Racing League handicap in August. However, couldn't build on that at Sandown last month and has something to prove now.

Form: 1745-87

Gincident^h²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 79

9/1

Back from 4 months off when respectable third of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (8f) 22 days ago. Entitled to build on that and figures off a handy mark.

Form: 206293

Boy Douglas¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Dods| OR: 78

17/2

Successful under testing conditions at Ayr as a 2-y-o and, having missed the majority of 2023, he doubled his tally at the same course in June. Largely acquitted himself well in defeat since but others preferred for win purposes.

Form: 220383

Empire Of Light²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 80

6/1

Doubled his tally at Haydock (10.2f) in June and has placed all 6 starts since, latest when good second of 10 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Shortlist material.

Form: 233222

The Cookstown Cafu^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78| D

7/1

Bagged second success this term when taking 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f) 11 days ago. Remains feasibly treated on old form and warrants respect.

Form: 359141

Rock Melody^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 76| D

9/1

Bounced back to best when winning 8-runner handicap (20/1) at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to soft) 12 days ago, bit in hand. 3 lb rise fair and ought to go well again.

Form: 040971

Arctic Dawn²³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 77| BF

5/1

Much improved earlier this year, making the frame in a couple of AW contests. Faces a different test here but looks fairly treated on handicap debut and likely has more to offer yet.

Form: 8-22

Spun To Gold¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 75| D

25/1

Considerately handled, on first start for new yard, when tenth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good, 33/1) 16 days ago. More required here, though.

Form: 1-44380

(9)

Golspie^p²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 71

20/1

Took a step back in right direction when fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 28/1) 29 days ago. 2 lb lower now but this is more competitive.

Form: 526-304

(10)

Another Baar⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: A Keatley| OR: 69| C

15/2

Course winner who only narrowly failed to get back on scoreboard at Pontefract (5f, heavy, 9/2) 5 days ago. Can race off same mark here but he's yet to fully convince over this sort of trip.

Form: 235302

(8)

Ey Up Its Jazz⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 59| BF| D

16/1

Made the frame again when third of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7f, soft) 8 days ago but this looks tougher and he finds himself 2 lb out of the weights here.

Form: 2-42823

Forecasts

Lowton (7/2), Arctic Dawn (5/1), Empire Of Light (6/1), The Cookstown Cafu (7/1), Another Baar (15/2), Boy Douglas (17/2), Gincident (9/1), Rock Melody (9/1), Ey Up Its Jazz (16/1), Capote's Dream (16/1), Golspie (20/1), Prairie Falcon (20/1), Spun To Gold (25/1)

ARCTIC DAWN has few miles on the clock and the booking of Billy Loughnane catches the eye on his first start in handicap company. He could be the answer in the finale. Empire of Light and Rock Melody head the list of dangers.
