Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 101

Pellitory²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 98| D

11/1

Useful 3-time 7f winner for James Owen who opened account for current yard when landing 6-runner handicap at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago. This looks tougher but he warrants respect.

Form: 0-00201

Forty Years On⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: George Scott| OR: 96| D

6/4

Proved most progressive on her debut season last year, completing the hat-trick at Ascot in September. Improved again when winning 15-runner handicap at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in June and likely has more to offer yet.

Form: 31112-1

The Fingal Raven^t³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 93| D

33/1

Scored over 1m at Meydan in January and back on track with third of 20 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago, especially as didn't enjoy a clear passage. One to consider despite high draw.

Form: 155093

Galeron⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: C Hills| OR: 93| C| D

20/1

On a lengthy losing run and rather went backwards from reappearance at Doncaster in June. Others preferred.

Form: 5342-06

Ghost Mode²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 97| CD

5/2

Made winning return at Southwell in March and got back on the scoreboard when winning 13-runner handicap over C&D (good to firm) 28 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Ironwill. That was an improved effort and he remains feasibly treated.

Form: 179061

Darkness^v²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara| OR: 87| CD

22/1

C&D who has yet to find his best form this season. However, is now below last winning mark and shaped well over a longer trip here last month.

Form: 760006

Rhoscolyn^t⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-6| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 84| CD

15/2

Three-time C&D winner who has been cut plenty of slack by the handicapper but has finished nearer last than first in a handful of starts this term. Others easier to enthuse over.

Form: 500500

Leadman²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: M Appleby| OR: 83| D

12/1

Quirky sort who capitalised on a much-reduced mark when winning 7f handicap at Doncaster in June. Been a mixed bag since but is worth monitoring in market on debut for new yard.

Form: 061579

(13)

Rare Change^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Gina Mangan| T: R Hughes| OR: 83| CD

66/1

Returned to form to win an 8-runner handicap over C&D (soft) in June but not been in quite same form since, merely closing up late over shorter trip at Pontefract latest. Others more appealing.

Form: 0-39177

(11)

Ironwill⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: J F Egan| T: S C Williams| OR: 87| D

14/1

Headstrong sort who landed the third win of his career when getting up in the final strides at Newmarket in June and bettered that form when second of 13 in C&D handicap last month. Likely stamina stretched at York since and is not discounted here.

Forecasts

Forty Years On (6/4), Ghost Mode (5/2), Completely Random (5/1), Rhoscolyn (15/2), Pellitory (11/1), Leadman (12/1), Addison Grey (12/1), Aalto (12/1), Fondo Blanco (14/1), Ironwill (14/1), Galeron (20/1), Darkness (22/1), The Fingal Raven (33/1), Rare Change (66/1), Carnival Of Light (66/1)

FORTY YEARS ON boasts an excellent strike rate and upped her game further when scoring at Newbury in June. With further progress on the cards, she looks the one to beat here. Completely Random and Ghost Mode may provide the chief threat.
