Kaaress³³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Henry Callan| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 59

6/1

Dropped a long way in the weights and found only one too good in 9-runner handicap at Redcar (11/2) over 8f 33 days ago, returning to form on second start after breathing operation. Appears better suited to this trip than 10f and should be a major player at this level.

Form: 446762

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Jack Lander| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 59| D

10/3

Ran well on form when second of 10 in handicap at Beverley (12/1) 18 days ago, though he did carry his head awkwardly. Needs to back that up.

Form: 10-6092

We Still Believe¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Miss Hannah Crawford| T: D Bourke| OR: 59| D

8/1

Finished second of 6 in an 8f handicap at Ayr in July, looking the only threat to the winner. Best effort since when third of 6 in a 10f handicap at Ayr (15/2) 14 days ago, making headway under pressure and keeping on. Cheekpieces removed back in distance.

11/2

Veteran performer who has won twice in recent handicap starts, including at Brighton over 8f 25 days ago. Another good effort when second back there last time, outpaced 1f out but rallying close home. Continues in good heart.

3/1

Three third-place finishes in recent handicaps and shaped as though still in form when fifth of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (3/1) 3 days ago, strong in betting but dwelt at start/met trouble. Interesting contender back at this stiffer track and also eased 1 lb.

Finished last of 10 in a 7f handicap at Redcar (14/1) in October on final start for Ben Haslam. Off since so has a lot to prove.

Forecasts

Jewel Maker (3/1), Tees George (10/3), Misemerald (5/1), Poetic Force (11/2), Kaaress (6/1), We Still Believe (8/1), Anificas Beauty (14/1), Sassoon (66/1)

JEWEL MAKER has never raced in this band of handicap before and having shaped as though still in good order at Thirsk on Friday, he could be the answer. Kaaress showed marked improvement when second at Redcar on her second start after a breathing operation and appears well suited to this trip. Poetic Force remains in good heart despite his advancing years and is also of interest.
