15/2

Won at this C&D (10/3) in May before finishing third of 12 in handicap at Hamilton (20/1) 86 days ago, travelling well but denied by well-treated rivals. Should remain competitive back at a course where he's won four times.

Miss Brazen³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 72| D

12/1

Capable, as shown by easy Thirsk win in June and narrow Doncaster second in July. Fourth of 10 in 5f handicap at Thirsk (11/2) 32 days ago, led and gave a bold sight before weakening in the final stages. Goes well when able to dominate small fields.

5/2

Struggled at higher-level tracks before finishing second of 10 in handicap at Beverley (11/2) 26 days ago when missing the break but running on well. May be returning to form over this shorter trip.

Betweenthesticks^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 70| CD

7/1

Has bounced back to form with a win and two runner-up finishes in last three starts. Second of 11 in 5f handicap at Ripon (6/1) 15 days ago, continuing in good heart but no match for one in the form of his life. Previous course and distance winner who remains on a competitive mark.

Form: 678122

Chuti Manika^v1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 70| C

Lucius Aurelius³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 67

11/1

Three consecutive seconds before finishing 13th of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (17/2) 38 days ago, possibly needing the run after a break. No previous C&D success but has shown promise here before.

Form: 43-2220

(12)

Birkenhead^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 66| CD

8/1

Fair performer in 5f handicaps with good course record of 4 wins. Third of 8 in handicap at this course and distance (11/4) 22 days ago, led early before being headed over 1f out and kept on. Well suited to these conditions based on recent solid form.

Form: 254353

(8)

Our Absent Friends^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: S A Gray| T: T Davidson| OR: 65| D

14/1

Has shown respectable form in 5f handicaps this season but finished last of 11 at Ripon (4/1) 15 days ago, never looking like landing a blow despite attracting support, racing off the pace. Without a win in 17 races now. Could benefit from the removal of tongue strap.

Form: 536340

Forecasts

Thankuappreciate (5/2), Equity Law (11/2), Betweenthesticks (7/1), Albegone (15/2), Birkenhead (8/1), Lucius Aurelius (11/1), Miss Brazen (12/1), Keldeo (14/1), Our Absent Friends (14/1), Le Beau Garcon (16/1), Chuti Manika (18/1), Military Girl (22/1), Desert Champion (150/1)

BETWEENTHESTICKS has bounced back to form impressively with a win and two runner-up finishes in his last three starts and remains on a competitive mark. This previous course and distance winner is narrowly preferred to Birkenhead, who boasts an excellent course record with 4 wins. Miss Brazen could prove dangerous if allowed to dominate.
