Dain Ma Nut In²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 91| C| D

15/2

Course scorer who arrives on a hat-trick after a pair of 1m2f handicap successes at York this summer. Showed a good attitude on latter occasion so he's a likely player despite another 3 lb weights rise.

Form: 1-39611

El Burhan^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 94

1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Chester in May. 14/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to firm) 19 days ago, left poorly placed. Significantly back up in trip and not discounted.

Form: 113-109

Crowd Quake^t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 81| D

5/2

Is enjoying a fantastic season and bagged a seventh win at Southwell in August. Collared only late on when a very good second of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good) 7 days ago. Big shout off an unchanged mark.

Form: 112112

Cloth Of Gold²⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: C Johnston| OR: 80| BF

11/1

Sea The Moon colt failed to land the odds when third of 7 in novice at Chelmsford City (10f) 9 months ago. Returns for his handicap debut and could still do better.

Forecasts

Hornsea Bay (5/2), Crowd Quake (5/2), Dain Ma Nut In (15/2), El Burhan (9/1), Liberty Coach (11/1), Cloth Of Gold (11/1), Financer (12/1), Dark Moon Rising (14/1), Flying Finn (20/1), Have Secret (22/1), Austrian Theory (33/1), Sex On Fire (40/1), Midnight Lion (50/1)

Lots with chances but it's hard to side against Stuart Williams' CROWD QUAKE who continues to thrive and can garner a remarkable eighth victory of 2025 on the back of his very good Doncaster second. Dain Ma Nut In also comes here at the top of his game and is next on the list, while last year's victor Financer and in-form duo Dark Moon Rising and Hornsea Bay can have a say too.
