Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 80

A 5-time winner on turf, registering latest success at Yarmouth 7 weeks ago, making all in a good time. Subsequently sold from Ross Burdon for 19,000gns.

Secret Force¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Mikey Sheehy| T: A Keatley| OR: 78

9/2

Flat/hurdles winner in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell and cemented a solid start for this yard when winning at Pontefract in June. Unable to land a blow at York next time but made a successful return to hurdles at Cartmel 2 weeks ago. May find this trip on the sharp side back on the Flat, though.

Form: 61-4317

Gentle Warrior^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 73

14/1

Relished the step up to 1¾m last season, scoring in clear-cut fashion at Haydock and Chester in September. Yet to hit those heights this year, however, and cheekpieces replace usual visor.

Form: 5-0246V

Eroico³⁸

Spanish Hustle^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: J S Goldie| OR: 67| C

Form: 48-0066

Gallus Norman¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 66| BF

8/1

Made all again at Ayr (15f) 6 weeks ago but not so good at Musselburgh on Friday. Still low mileage in handicaps.

Form: 5-21315

Cotton Bud⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Gina Mangan| T: S Lycett| OR: 73

4/1

Progressive 2-y-o for Kevin Philippart de Foy and took form up another level when making a winning debut for current yard in 1¼m handicap at Doncaster on return in April. Shaped as if still in form at York following month and step up in trip sure to suit.

Form: 5442-16

Wootton's Gal³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

28/1

Bred to need time and distance and can be expected to make more of an impact upped in trip again for handicap debut.

Form: 5-24

Forecasts

Cabrera (85/40), Cotton Bud (4/1), Secret Force (9/2), High Point (6/1), Gallus Norman (8/1), Dunkeld Dreamer (8/1), Eroico (11/1), Gentle Warrior (14/1), Wootton's Gal (28/1), Spanish Hustle (40/1), Ouro Preto (66/1)

There's a good chance COTTON BUD can resume progress stepping up in trip and she's preferred to fellow 3-y-o Dunkeld Dreamer, who was unsuited by the muddling pace over C&D 3 weeks ago. Low-mileage 7-y-o Gallus Norman has progressed switched to handicaps this year and is another to consider if turned out again.
