Remembering Frank Hugill Handicap

Course winner. Four wins from 9 runs this year, the latest at Thirsk (6f, good) in July. 5/2, creditable second of 10 back at Thirsk (6f, good) 25 days ago. Should continue to run well.

Six-time C&D winner, the latest in July. Another good C&D effort when ½-length second of 8 to Dream Deal (good to firm) 22 days ago. Has to enter the reckoning.

11/8 and blinkered first time, won 8-runner C&D handicap (good to firm) 22 days ago by ½ length from Quercus. Claims if the headgear continues to work.

Her win at Musselburgh in April came under Hollie Doyle. 15/2, below par when fifth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 41 days ago but may do better with Doyle back in the saddle.

No impact in handicaps for John & Sean Quinn last year. Has rejoined Seb Spencer ahead of this first outing for a year. A watching brief is advised.

Course winner. Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 3/1) 26 days ago.

Consistent mare who was well served by coming off a strong gallop when doubling her career tally at Pontefract (5f, good) in July. Has reached the frame on both outings since and ought to be competitive again.

Course winner over 5f in July. Good second of 9 over C&D (good to firm, 8/1) 9 days ago, running on. Expected to be bang there from the same mark.

Three-time C&D winner. Latest win at Pontefract in July. Creditable second of 11 in classified event at this course (7f, good to firm, 13/8) 22 days ago, running on. Not taken lightly.
