Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Jack Dace| T: R M Beckett| OR: 87| D

20/1

Won in October but yet to fire this season and hard to fancy despite tumbling mark. Visor replaces blinkers here.

Form: 201-000

Evening Blues^h³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Ethan Tindall⁽³⁾| T: S Hanlon| OR: 85

25/1

Often front runs and produced clear best effort this year when second of 14 at York over 6f in June. Has disappointed since, including when third of 4 in a handicap at Leicester 35 days ago so hard to be too confident about.

Form: 2-57203

Purest Time³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Toby Moore⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 83| D

11/1

Won at Windsor in May but hasn't fired since, though didn't get a clear run when down field at Windsor last time and is capable of better with luck in running. Good-value apprentice takes the ride.

Archduke Ferdinand^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Shay Farmer⁽³⁾| T: S Spencer| OR: 82| C| D

15/2

Won at Redcar in July and ran well when second at Newmarket in August, but only 12th of 13 in a handicap there 22 days ago. Returns to Doncaster where he has won before so could go well if bouncing straight back to form.

Form: 304120

Sixtygeesbaby^t,v²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: C J Whiteley⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 82| BF| CD

11/2

C&D winner who won well at Carlisle from a tumbling mark in August but never went with any fluency when third of 6 at Ffos Las under a penalty 10 days later. Back up in grade here but looked potentially useful in the past so not without a chance if on a "going" day.

Form: 085513

Mo Of Cairo⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jack Nicholls| T: K A Ryan| OR: 79WS

17/2

Turned in best effort of the season when fourth of 10 in a handicap at Windsor in June but was only ninth of 13 in a handicap at Newmarket in July. Returns from 66 days off on the back of a breathing operation and takes on older horses for the first time.

Form: 12-6649

Ay Up Duck⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jude Maher⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 78| CD

22/1

Won over C&D in July but found things a lot tougher when 12th of 13 in a much better handicap over 7f at Goodwood in August from 6 lb out of the weights. Inexperienced apprentice now takes over.

Form: 188710

Shazani³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Joe Bradnam⁽⁷⁾| T: S R Bowring| OR: 75| CD

17/2

Front runner who won back-to-back handicaps in August, first over C&D then at Beverley over 5f 31 days ago. Up a further 5 lb here in pursuit of the hat-trick but it remains to be seen if he's able to dominate matters in this bigger field.

Form: 752311

Miraculous¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jake Dickson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74| D

13/2

Took advantage of drop in grade when scoring at Southwell in August then ran well when second at Hamilton 23 days ago despite a 5lb rise. Shaped as if still in good form when making the frame at former track on latest start and won from a 7 lb higher mark last year so is one to take seriously.

Form: 578124

Dandy Magic^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Lauren Young⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 74| D

9/2

Found form over this trip in August, winning at Hamilton then creditable third of 10 under penalty at the same track 23 days ago. Has the same rider aboard here and, though she often misses the break, the pace looks sure to be strong and she'll be finishing well so looks a player.

Form: 444313

Raatea^p,h²²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 73| D

28/1

In frame 3 of 5 starts this year, most recently coming fourth of 11 in a handicap at Redcar 22 days ago. Back below his last winning mark but this is a rise in grade and he often starts very slowly.

Form: 0-23504

Charlie Mason¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: C Horgan⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 73| CD

20/1

Won this race from 3 lb lower mark last year but came into that contest in better form than he does this time around. Hasn't kicked on since scoring at Lingfield in June this year. Hopes pinned on a return to this venue.

Arduis Invicta¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: William Pyle| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 75

12/1

Not the easiest to predict but handicapper is being quick to relent and she's 6 lb lower than when a good second at Musselburgh in June. Struggled to make any impact last 2 starts, though, so has well-being to prove.

Form: 662409

Jenever^v¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Liam Wright| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 72| D

12/1

Came good on good to soft going around this time last year when winning at Nottingham from 6 lb higher mark in October. Not won since but stable has struggled until the last few weeks and he ran well when second of 11 at Southwell 17 days ago so he's one to be interested in now.

Form: 578342

Rotokura Belle²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Elle-May Croot⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 72

40/1

Won at York in June and, though inconsistent since, she can have latest run ignored when badly hampered at Redcar and she's capable of playing a part if on a "going" day.

Form: 417376

Another Investment¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Alex Jary| T: N Tinkler| OR: 70| CD

16/1

Went close 3 times in succession in July and August, twice finishing second over C&D. Form has tailed off last 2 starts but the return to this venue and likely strong pace should be right up his street so this previous course winner needs considering.

Form: 022265

Forecasts

Dandy Magic (9/2), Sixtygeesbaby (11/2), Miraculous (13/2), Archduke Ferdinand (15/2), Shazani (17/2), Mo Of Cairo (17/2), Purest Time (11/1), Arduis Invicta (12/1), Jenever (12/1), Another Investment (16/1), Charlie Mason (20/1), Topwarrior (20/1), Ay Up Duck (22/1), Evening Blues (25/1), Raatea (28/1), Rotokura Belle (40/1)

MIRACULOUS is still well treated after a good run of form and can resume winning ways in this very competitive affair at the expense of Dandy Magic, who looks sure to be suited by how this unfolds, while Sixtygeesbaby is a previous C&D winner who has the ability to be a real threat if putting his best foot forward.
