Showtime Mahomes²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 69| D

12/1

Latest win at Musselburgh in August. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 28 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good once again.

Mister Sox^p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Latest win over 7f here in May. Below form fifth of 9 in handicap (9/4) at this C&D (heavy) 10 days ago. Perhaps a shade too high in the weights for now.

Homer Stokes²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 66| CD

4/1

Three-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap (10/1) at this C&D (soft) 27 days ago, holding on gamely. Nudged up just 2 lb and should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick.

Form: 441511

Catton Lady²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 68

7/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to soft) 24 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak.

Sir Garfield^b²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 67| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good, 16/5) 28 days ago, well positioned. Up a fair 2 lb and should again have a part to play.

Beltane¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford| OR: 61

16/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. 4/1 and visored for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 10 days ago. Down another 1 lb and this 5-y-o, who was a good third to Homer Stokes here on his penultimate start, is one to consider.

Langholm^p,t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Garritty| T: M Dods| OR: 61| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Thirsk in July. 18/1, 6¼ lengths seventh of 11 to Homer Stokes in handicap at this C&D (soft) 27 days ago. Not without each-way hope

Treasure Storm¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 61

40/1

Below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7f, soft, 20/1) 11 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Desert Dream^t¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 59| CD

15/2

Three wins from 14 runs this year. 18/1, respectable second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 10 days ago, no match for winner. Place possibilities at least off the same mark.

Rwenearlytheredad¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 55| BF| D

13/2

15/8, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 19 days ago. Deserves to get his head back in front and likely to be in the mix here.

Dandy Lichious^p,t⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁵⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 55| D

150/1

66/1, last of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm) 84 days ago, lost all chance at start. Best to look elsewhere.

Catton Lady (7/2), Homer Stokes (4/1), Mister Sox (9/2), Rwenearlytheredad (13/2), Sir Garfield (13/2), Desert Dream (15/2), Showtime Mahomes (12/1), Beltane (16/1), Langholm (33/1), Treasure Storm (40/1), Dandy Lichious (150/1)

It's been a while since BELTANE last got his head in front but he's fallen a long way down the weights as a consequence (now 16 lb below last winning mark) and has a fighting chance of reversing C&D placings with Homer Stokes on these revised terms, having finished 1¾ lengths behind that rival on his penultimate start. Homer Stokes is bidding for the hat-trick and, armed with a willing attitude, he can be expected to give it a good shot. Rwenearlytheredad and Sir Garfield are others to consider.
