14/1

Form was modest before winning a 9-runner handicap at Beverley (15/2) 20 days ago with blinkers back on, travelling as well as any before staying on to lead late. Claims if headgear has a similar effect second time up.

Thunderstorm Katie¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 55| D

5/1

Three-time winner over the summer but hasn't been seen to best effect on a few occasions since, fourth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (9/2) 13 days ago when held up, raced freely. Likely to settle better back over the minimum trip and could be staying on late off a strong pace. One to consider.

Lady Bouquet¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: P A Kirby| OR: 51| D

6/1

Won at Catterick (5f) 89 days ago but struggled over 6f of late, finished last of 10 at Newcastle (12/1) 18 days ago when weakening quickly. Return to 5f offers some hope of a bounce back.

Dorothy May⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 51| D

14/1

After a Newcastle win in August and a course second, ran creditably when third of 12 in a handicap at Southwell (10/1) 6 days ago. Could be competitive back at this course.

Ski Angel¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 50| CD

5/1

Course specialist with 3 wins here. Won convincingly in 6-runner handicap at this course/distance (9/4) 12 days ago, moving well before accelerating when finding space near final furlong. Clearly favours this track and could win again in a race that is likely to be run to suit.

Zaphea¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 50| CD

22/1

Three-time C&D winner but finished last of 6 at this C&D (3/1) 12 days ago, carrying head awkwardly and dropping away. Temperament looks an issue and others are more reliable.

Form: 766936

Sir Benedict^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 50| D

14/1

Seven-time winner who scored at Hamilton Park (22/1) 22 days ago before finishing sixth of 8 in handicap (12/1) 14 days ago when slowly away and weakening in a better race under a penalty. Back down in class which could help chances.

Form: 644016

Doralee^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 50| D

28/1

Won at Redcar (5f) 65 days ago before returning to form last time. Third of 11 in handicap at Catterick (5f) (18/1) 12 days ago with first-time cheekpieces, though hung left in closing stages. Can be competitive if reproducing that recent effort but draw could have been kinder.

Azucena^p⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Rowan Scott| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 49| D

22/1

Three-time winner who finished third of 6 in handicap at Catterick (4/1) 69 days ago, making headway but finding no extra late. Claims if she can build on recent form.

Form: 8-67173

Mrs Bagerran⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 49| CD

20/1

Course specialist with 2 C&D wins (including this in 2023) but form has regressed of late, finishing one-paced 4th of 9 at Newcastle AW (8/1) 45 days ago. Returning to favoured track could spark improvement and was second to Sixcor in this last year.

Refuge^t,v¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 48| CD

12/1

Had been struggling form but did have an excuse when in a change of headgear (retained) sixth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (17/2) 12 days ago, racing on the unfavoured side of the track. Hard to be confident of a revival unless market speaks strongly in his favour.

Crackinthunder^h³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Lauren Young⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 46

10/3

Improved form when third over this C&D on handicap debut in August but best forgiven latest 10th of 11 in handicap here (9/2) 30 days ago, racing wide from a poor draw. In good hands and looks well worth another chance from a better draw.

Form: 977-30

A Lady Forever¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: W G Harrison| OR: 46

9/1

Form has dipped since February win, finishing seventh of 11 on stable debut at Newcastle (16/1) 13 days ago when failing to see out 6f trip as well as might have been expected. Strong pace back over 5f could see her to better effect.

Form: 5/13437

Sixcor^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 46| CD

18/1

Fifth of 6 in handicap at this C&D (9/2) 12 days ago, led before fading. Seems to have gone off the boil but worth a market check off a lower mark than when winning this race last year.

Form: 352905

Forecasts

Crackinthunder (10/3), Thunderstorm Katie (5/1), Ski Angel (5/1), Lady Bouquet (6/1), A Lady Forever (9/1), Refuge (12/1), Sir Benedict (14/1), Beerwah (14/1), Dorothy May (14/1), Sixcor (18/1), Mrs Bagerran (20/1), Zaphea (22/1), Azucena (22/1), Doralee (28/1)

SKI ANGEL landed a convincing C&D victory 12 days ago and could follow up in a race that is likely to be run to suit. Jim Goldie's pair both make appeal and the market may offer some clues regarding their respective chances, Thunderstorm Katie will appreciate a strongly run race back down in trip, while Crackinthunder looks worth another chance to build on his promising handicap debut here. Doralee got back on track first-time in cheekpieces at Catterick but has a tough draw.
