In excellent form, winning four consecutive races since early August. First of 7 in handicap at Hamilton Park (5/2) 12 days ago, raced freely but kept on well when switched 2f out to edge ahead late on. Could add further success to his tally despite stepping into a stronger race.

Previously useful, last of 9 at Pontefract (100/1) 16 days ago, needs to show much more.

15/2

9/1

Has shown promise at this track with a third of 12 over C&D (14/1) 34 days ago. Seventh of 13 in handicap at Ayr (14/1) 23 days ago, couldn't get involved and merely plugged on after being hampered 2f out. Has quirks but is threatening to come good from a slipping mark.

33/1

Third of 19 in York handicap (8f) in July before refusing to race in 14-runner handicap at Ayr (20/1) 21 days ago. One to treat with extreme caution.

25/1

After some decent performances earlier this season, finished eighth of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (11/1) 17 days ago running below form. Step up in trip might help revive form with hood now removed.

Financer^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 81| D

13/2

Reliable handicapper who was runner-up at Windsor in August. Finished fifth at Ayr recently, performing better than result suggests after moving too early with first-time cheekpieces. Winless this year but showing form that indicates a victory is likely soon.

125/1

Won at Ripon (8f) in August but form has since declined, finishing last of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (18/1) 13 days ago. Step up in trip adds another question mark.

25/1

Won at Windsor (25/1) 40 days ago before finishing third of 5 in handicap at Pontefract (11/4) 23 days ago, pushed along and plugging on. First-time cheekpieces could help with tendency to go in snatches.

28/1

Course and distance winner in June. Fifth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7/2) 17 days ago when racing freely and below form. Could bounce back at this venue.

Byblos^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 81| BF

8/1

One win from 9 starts with fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (85/40) 20 days ago when first-time blinkers made little difference, hampered 2f out. Consistently falling short in handicaps suggests current mark may be too high.

FINANCER is yet to win this year but has shaped well several times and looks ready to break through after a promising run at Ayr where he moved too early with first-time cheekpieces. Spioradalta arrives in excellent form after four consecutive wins since early August, displaying a good attitude most recently at Hamilton. Dark Moon Rising has shown promise at this track and is threatening to come good from a slipping mark.
