Between Me And U^t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: D Allan| T: M Herrington| OR: 70| D

10/1

On a hat-trick after all-weather wins at Kempton and Wolverhampton last month. Also effective on turf so capable of going well again.

Form: 26-6711

Barley^p⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69| CD

7/2

It's now 34 runs without success since scoring C&D in 2024 but there have been plenty of good efforts in defeat this year. The drop back to a Class 5 is a help. Ought to be on the premises.

Keep An Eye On It⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: D Nolan| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 67| D

11/4

Returned from a break to win 10-runner handicap at Ayr (1m, good) 9 days ago. Has a 6 lb penalty but he's a lightly-raced 3-y-o who likely has more to offer.

Form: 44-5231

Avatar Jet²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Zak Wheatley| T: D Carroll| OR: 66| D

14/1

Latest win at Southwell in April. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7f, 4/1) 27 days ago.

Hostility⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: C J Whiteley⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 65| CD

10/3

Not the most straightforward but has landed a couple of C&D successes this summer, including under Connor Whiteley last week. That was an apprentice event so he escapes a penalty.

Ephron¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 70| D

5/1

Bounced back from a poor run at Pontefract to make it 2-5 in handicaps at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Also a good second on his sole Carlisle visit. Should go well.

Form: 7-15271

Ravishing Beauty^v1¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 64| CD

12/1

C&D winner in June and respectable efforts in defeat since. First-time visor replaces regular cheekpieces.

Blufferonthebus⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: S H James| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 62| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Also second over C&D in June. Nowhere near best when remote last of 3 in Beverley seller last time but dangerous to discount back here.

Beckon⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: S Corbett| OR: 66| D

125/1

Won a novice in December prior to finishing third in 7f handicap on all-weather in the spring but ran poorly back on turf for new yard at Ayr last week.

Form: 431-639

Forecasts

Keep An Eye On It (11/4), Hostility (10/3), Barley (7/2), Ephron (5/1), Between Me And U (10/1), Ravishing Beauty (12/1), Avatar Jet (14/1), Princess Niyla (16/1), Blufferonthebus (20/1), Captain Corelli (33/1), Beckon (125/1)

Several with possibilities in this finale. Low-mileage 3-y-o KEEP AN EYE ON IT should have more to offer on the back of last week's Ayr success and is narrowly preferred to Ephron, Hostility, who is bidding to make it 3-3 in C&D handicaps this summer, and Between Me And U.
