Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 75| D

6/5

Raised his game appreciably after a 7-week break to open his style in this country emphatically in 10.3f Chester handicap on Sunday, forging clear. Good shout under a penalty if in the same sort of form.

Form: 34-6421

Mr Lincoln²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 75

15/2

Has been in good form without winning, second over C&D (Pol Roger third) in June and not beaten far again over hurdles at Cartmel last time. Solid place claims once more.

Form: 28/8623

(6)

Draupnir¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 70

12/1

Won at Thirsk in September and started the season in good form at Thirsk/Hamilton. Not so good at York the last twice but could bounce back over this trip.

Form: 7-35370

Geo^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 70| C

12/1

Tough and consistent and ran well again when third of 5 over C&D 12 days ago. Getting no help from the assessor because of her good form and cheekpieces now go back on.

Form: 624223

Pol Roger^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Dods| OR: 69| CD

20/1

Long time since his last win but is down to a handy mark and ran well at Pontefract and over C&D in June. Ground was possibly too firm for him here last time.

Form: 08-8234

Dryburgh^h⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S H James| T: Oli Rix| OR: 75

11/2

Strong-travelling maiden who has placed on all 3 handicap starts over this trip, looking a shade unfortunate when going as close as he has at Doncaster 2 months ago, and he's entitled to give another good account despite a 4 lb rise.

Form: 3-73282

(7)

Unchartedterritory⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: D O'Meara| OR: 74

14/1

Much improved when opening account in 9f Carlisle handicap on soft 2 months ago, channelling his energy more efficiently in a well-run race, though hanging left late on. From a smart family that revels in the mud and there is more to come from him.

Form: 54-4731

(9)

Faeberon^p⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 73

22/1

Took another step forward to get off the mark in first-time cheekpieces in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 6 weeks ago, again racing freely but still seeing things out well. Up just 2 lb and should have more to offer.

Form: 74-831

(14)

Mayor Of Maghera^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: R M Smith| OR: 62

100/1

Doubled tally in first-time cheekpieces at Musselburgh (9f) in June. That race worked out well but he's run poorly twice here over 1m subsequently. First go over this trip.

Form: 4-34176

(4)

Natzor^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Barry McHugh| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 60| D

150/1

Winless since 2024 and has lost his way, well beaten again back on turf at Redcar last week.

Form: 00-4908

(2)

Phantom Shadow¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Hart| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 68| CD

5/1

Made a winning start for new yard in C&D handicap on firm ground 3 weeks ago, coming clear under hands-and-heels ride. Up 10 lb in a deeper race but suspect he can go well again.

Form: 823521

(12)

Path To Peace^b1,t³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Greg Fairley| T: K Scott| OR: 67

150/1

Well held in maidens up to 1½m in Ireland. Makes handicap debut for new yard with new headgear fitted and needs plenty of improvement.

Form: 906

(11)

Ibn Altheeb^b²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jack Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 66

33/1

In first-time cheekpieces when opening account at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in October for David Loughnane. Yet to really get going for new yard, although found stamina stretched over 11f at Hamilton last time. This looks tough.

Form: 17-6034

Forecasts

Tiger (6/5), Phantom Shadow (5/1), Dryburgh (11/2), Mr Lincoln (15/2), Geo (12/1), Draupnir (12/1), Unchartedterritory (14/1), Annandale (14/1), Pol Roger (20/1), Faeberon (22/1), Ibn Altheeb (33/1), Mayor Of Maghera (100/1), Natzor (150/1), Path To Peace (150/1)

TIGER ran out an emphatic winner at Chester last weekend and has obvious claims under a penalty. There are some intriguing 3-y-os in opposition however, namely Phantom Shadow, Unchartedterritory and Faeberon, all last-time-out winners.
