Good second of 10 in handicap (11/4) at this course (16.2f) 13 days ago. Back down in trip and likely to give another good account.

Golspie^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: P Morris| OR: 65| C

9/2

7/2, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at this course (10.2f) 9 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Up in trip and likely to remain competitive following a 4 lb rise.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 62| CD

9/2

Three-time C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2024. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Southwell (12.1f) 17 days ago. Ought to be on the premises once more.

Blue Sky Boy¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: T Davidson| OR: 61

9/2

First run since leaving Paul Attwater when eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (10.2f, 12/1) 16 days ago. Back up in trip and, having been placed twice off higher marks than this last winter, he's not discounted.

Form: 7-32638

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 60| C

18/1

Course winner. 3 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win at Ayr in August. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap (28/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 11 days ago. Something to find on form.

Form: 717677

Billy Bathgate¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 58| C

22/1

Course winner. 4 wins from 17 runs this year. 14/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (16.2f) 13 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Back down in trip. Place possibilities.

Alfred Spero¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: G Tutty| OR: 54

9/1

Good fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 33/1) 12 days ago. Unlikely to be far away, but others make more appeal for win purposes all the same.

Forecasts

Prince Quattro (4/1), Golspie (9/2), Percy Willis (9/2), Blue Sky Boy (9/2), Royal Blaze (13/2), Damascus Steel (17/2), Alfred Spero (9/1), Molinari (10/1), Annandale (18/1), Billy Bathgate (22/1)

It could be worth chancing BLUE SKY BOY, who finished nearer last than first on debut for this yard over 10.2f here recently, but he's entitled to come on for that run given that he was returning from a nine-month absence and this step back up in trip will also help. Royal Blaze bounced back from a couple of low-key efforts when going close in a C&D handicap earlier this month and he is next on the list ahead of Golspie and Prince Quattro.
