Poet's Dawn^p¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Jake Dickson⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Carlisle in September. 14/1, good ½-length third of 14 to Oilisa in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 12 days ago, clear of rest. Has good chance on form.

Form: 414403

(14)

Pisanello^v¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: C J Whiteley⁽⁷⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 65| D

11/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2024. 22/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 11 days ago, never involved. Step back down in trip rates a plus with the visor refitted and better showing anticipated.

Form: 843358

(11)

Fire Eyes^t,p1¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: O McSweeney| T: Roger Fell| OR: 61| C| D

9/2

Course winner. Latest win here in September. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 5/1) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and she's another holding claims on the back of a highly consistent season.

Form: 214122

(9)

Sunny Orange^p²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59| D

8/1

Latest win at Beverley in August. Good third of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, soft, 40/1) 29 days ago, getting going too late having had his path blocked. Clearly not out of things from this sort of mark.

Form: 155383

(6)

Little Ted^p⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Warren Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58| D

16/1

Latest win at Leicester in June. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Ayr (8f, soft, 4/1) 46 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 162327

(13)

Blueandtangerine²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 60

50/1

Beverly maiden scorer (at 7.4f) last summer. Not kicked on subsequently, albeit proving too fresh after 6 months off when last of 6 in handicap (17/2) at Newcastle (1m) 21 days ago. This can reveal more from a career-low mark.

Form: 47-8666

(1)

Nazalan¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Amie Waugh| T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward| OR: 54

40/1

It's now fifteen runs since last win in 2023 and low-key start for present connections, off a further 5 months prior to finishing ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 18 days ago. Best watched.

Form: 5699-79

(5)

Oilisa¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rhys Elliott⁽³⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 54| D

2/1

Progressive in handicaps on turf, scoring comfortably in the mud at Ayr (1m, heavy) prior to following up narrowly at Nottingham (8.3f) 12 days ago. Made hard work of it on that occasion but a 2 lb nudge up the weights ought to see her competitive again in hat-trick bid.

Form: 743511

(2)

Crownthorpe^b1³⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁵⁾| T: A D Brown| OR: 49| D

16/1

Winless since April 2023 and not looked like bucking that trend despite an easing mark on AW in recent months, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 20/1) 39 days ago. Blinkers go on in place of usual cheekpieces.

Form: 825536

(7)

Martin's Brig^b²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Alex Jary| T: D Thompson| OR: 48| D

20/1

Sixth of 9 in handicap (25/1) at Newcastle (8f) 21 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Others more persuasive.

Form: 352236

(12)

Penny Ghent^b⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Zak Wheatley| T: S Whitaker| OR: 45

40/1

Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. 40/1, 8½ lengths tenth of 12 to Fire Eyes in handicap at this course (7f, good) 41 days ago. Blinkers back on and others make much stronger appeal.

Form: 877590

(15)

Unthinkable⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: William Pyle| T: P A Kirby| OR: 47

80/1

Doubled her career tally at Musselburgh (7f) in August but she's only added to a patchy record since, ninth of 10 in handicap back at that venue (7.1f, good to soft) 51 days ago. Percentage call to look elsewhere.

Form: 821709

(4)

She's A Goldigger²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Olivia Tubb⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 47

5/1

Went closer than she ever has when runner-up at Leicester (7f) 3 starts back. Best not judged too harshly on her next run but she was below form when fifth of 14 in handicap back at Leicester (7f, good) 28 days ago. Steps back up in trip now.

Form: 544255

(3)

Harry Whodeanie^p1⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽³⁾| T: B Haslam| OR: 46

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 4 in maiden (50/1) at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 56 days ago, outpaced from home turn. Switch to handicaps rates a plus now upped significantly in trip (also in first-time headgear) but would need to see market confidence to make him of interest.

Forecasts

Oilisa (2/1), Fire Eyes (9/2), She's A Goldigger (5/1), Poet's Dawn (5/1), Sunny Orange (8/1), Pisanello (11/1), Space Raider (12/1), Crownthorpe (16/1), Little Ted (16/1), Martin's Brig (20/1), Penny Ghent (40/1), Nazalan (40/1), Blueandtangerine (50/1), Harry Whodeanie (66/1), Unthinkable (80/1)

FIRE EYES has made an excellent start for Roger Fell, successful over 7f here prior to posting a pair of solid runner-up efforts on all-weather last month. She's fancied to go well again back on turf with cheekpieces now the headgear of choice. Poet's Dawn, Oilisa, Pisanello and Sunny Orange head up a lengthy list of possible threats in the finale.
