Bounced back to debut form following a breathing operation to win 7f maiden at Redcar (9 runners, 9/4) 20 days ago. Into handicaps now and more needed.

Better on AW with recent seconds and thirds, finished eleventh of 19 in handicap at York (28/1) 14 days ago, never threatening. Losing run is mounting and may struggle on turf today.

After winning at Wetherby in June, finished last of 6 in handicap at Ripon (16/5) 21 days ago when likely amiss on soft ground. Better judged on previous form.

Kit Gabriel¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Shane Gray| T: S Spencer| OR: 72

9/1

Has shown fairly useful form on turf this season, finishing second of 7 at Leicester over a mile in May. Finished 14th of 22 in a handicap at York (33/1) 15 days ago, racing freely and weakening late after being pushed along 2f out. Could bounce back.

Form: 1-70290

7/1

Ran 2nd at Doncaster in June before finishing seventh of 10 in handicap at Ayr (13/2) 19 days ago. Well handicapped on old form but is a bit in and out at the moment.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| D

16/1

Suited by strong pace when doubling his tally for the season at Pontefract (1m) in June. Eighth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (16/1) 16 days ago, underperforming in more competitive environment. Possibilities if bouncing back.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 72| BF| CD

7/2

Has won twice at Redcar this season, most recently with cheekpieces last month. Finished fifth of 10 in a handicap at Pontefract (11/4) 13 days ago, not reproducing the same form. Strong record at this venue though, so should appreciate returning here.

11/1

Third at Lingfield (AW) in January but ninth of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (12/1) 53 days ago, making no impression. Handicapper drops him another 2 lb and he needs to get back on track.

Forecasts

Zou's Your Daddy (7/2), Eeetee (7/2), Paladin (9/2), Mr Mistoffelees (6/1), Hale End (7/1), Kit Gabriel (9/1), Criminal Shore (10/1), Dream Voyage (11/1), Mount King (16/1), Mereside Madness (28/1)

EEETEE has been thriving at Redcar this season with two victories and boasts an impressive record of four course wins overall. This track specialist should relish returning to familiar territory after a below-par effort at Pontefract. Mount King is still feasibly treated on his Pontefract win over this trip in June (strong form) and needs considering, along with Paladin, who's better judged on his previous form having possibly found conditions against him at Ripon last time.
