28/1

Latest win at Musselburgh in August. Ninth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 36 days ago, denied cover and weakening out of it.

Leap Day^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60

10/1

Nineteen runs since sole win in 2023. 14/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 19 days ago. Bit to prove at present.

Form: 246087

Coonawarra Star¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara| OR: 62

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 15 days ago. May have needed that first outing in 13 months and in good hands, better is surely forthcoming.

Form: 575-0

Evocative Spark^v⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Shane Gray| T: J Riches| OR: 59| BF| D

15/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2024 but he's in good heart, second of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (6f) 8 days ago. Stays 7f and no reason why he won't give his running again.

Sharon Curly²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 61| D

4/1

Latest win at Haydock in July. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D (good) 23 days ago, not ideally placed. Needs treating as though still in form.

Yafaarr²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: S England| OR: 60

9/2

On the up for this yard, good second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 21 days ago, running on. Expected to be bang there back on turf from jsut 1 lb higher.

Military Leader^b⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 56

5/1

Well-bred gelding who ran his best race yet when second of 7 in handicap (9/1) at Ayr (7.2f, heavy) 8 days ago, having difficult task from position. Definite player if building on that.

Form: 7/5852

Wicklow Way^p1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Russell| T: M Walford| OR: 53

80/1

Visored for first time, sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 80/1) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces replace visor.

Flamborough Head^b²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 50| C

18/1

Course winner. 33/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good) 23 days ago. More exposed than some but he's back on a good mark.

Form: 564005

Forecasts

Lumenbourg (9/4), Sharon Curly (4/1), Yafaarr (9/2), Military Leader (5/1), Evocative Spark (15/2), Leap Day (10/1), Flamborough Head (18/1), Patontheback (28/1), Coonawarra Star (50/1), Wicklow Way (80/1)

YAFAARR cemented a positive start for this yard when second at Newcastle 3 weeks ago and he looks capable of winning a handicap like this. Lumenbourg is a reliable proposition, while low-mileage 4-y-o Military Leader also needs a second look.
