Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 51| D

1/1

Better performer on AW than turf, with modest turf efforts during summer. Won a 12-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (3/1) 8 days ago, making headway 2f out before leading 1f out and drawing clear. Running under a penalty but looks capable of following up.

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| D

14/1

Has been operating at a modest level in recent handicaps. Fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (11/1) 4 days ago when racing wide throughout, now back down to last winning mark with visor replacing cheekpieces. Without a win in 18 races.

Spirit Of Bowland²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 53| CD

11/2

Two-time C&D winner who has been below best in recent runs. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (5/1) 22 days ago, steadied and switched under 2f out but taking a step back in the right direction. Likely to appreciate returning to a track where he's been successful before.

6/1

Won a handicap at Redcar in August but has been inconsistent since, then ran well when second of 11 in handicap over course and distance (7/2) 7 days ago. Could go well again at this venue.

Grey Selkie⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: J Gallagher| OR: 50

14/1

Has shown modest form in handicaps before running best race when fourth of 11 at this C&D (33/1) 7 days ago, making headway but finishing one paced after being bumped. May build on that improved effort.

16/1

C&D winner but has not won for 18 races, finishing sixth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 7 days ago when racing wide and hanging left with refitted cheekpieces. Could benefit from a more patient ride given previous course success.

50/1

Winless after 19 starts, finished 6th of 10 in handicap at Brighton (11/1) 24 days ago, going with little fluency and merely plugging on. Hard to fancy based on shown ability.

TONAL is better on all-weather than turf and impressed when winning at Chelmsford 8 days ago. Despite carrying a penalty, he looks capable of following up at a track that suits. Spirit Of Bowland, a two-time C&D winner, has been below his best recently but should appreciate returning to this venue. Marry The Night ran well when second over C&D a week ago.
