3YO plus | Class 5 | 1m | 13 Runners | Turf

(1)

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 74| D

Won at Pontefract on reappearance/stable debut in April and produced back-to-back thirds that have worked out pretty well there in July. Below last winning mark now and he's one to take seriously back down in grade after 62 days off.

Form: 143933

They All Know Me⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73

Off the mark at Carlisle over 7f on soft ground in May. Good second of 10 there 8 days ago having dropped back to winning mark and holds claims if things drop right (often starts slowly).

Form: 818042

(10)

Roaring Ralph^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Mark Winn| T: M Dods| OR: 73| CD

Thriving earlier this year with 5 wins from 6 starts, including one at this track, but he has gone off the boil lately. Back down to last winning mark but hard to be too confident about at present.

Form: 113075

(11)

Barley^p⁸^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| D

Ended very long losing run in a handicap at Carlisle 8 days ago. Largely consistent previously this year but now faces a penalty and may be pushing it to think he'll go back-to-back after so long.

Form: 324401

(9)

Green Pursuit^p,t³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 71

Turned in best effort of season when second of 15 in 1m handicap at Thirsk in August, responding well to the return of cheekpieces and tongue strap. Unexposed at trip so merits respect.

Form: 0-05352

(6)

Upper East^p1³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Joanna Mason| T: K Scott| OR: 75

Showed promise when fourth on debut at Doncaster in June but that may have flattered him and he didn't show much on first outing since leaving Richard Hannon last month. Has since been gelded and now makes handicap debut.

Form: 467

(3)

Quiet Resolve^p⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: A D Brown| OR: 70| D

Made winning reappearance/stable debut at Hamilton in May and came second of 9 in handicap at same track in August. Best not judged too harshly on recent outing in Leger Legends race at Doncaster 6 days ago, racing freely. Cheekpieces now reapplied.

Form: 264620

(13)

You Sexy Thing¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Saffie Osborne| T: R Spencer| OR: 72

Off the mark at Sandown last August but hasn't won since. Had little racing this year but ran well when fourth of 8 in a handicap over 7f at Ascot 13 days ago and could step up for that return from 12 weeks off dropped in grade and back up to 1m.

Form: 6130-64

(8)

Mandarin Spirit^p1⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 72

Thirsk maiden winner but hasn't kicked on this year and needs to settle a lot better than she has over 1¼m recently. Cheekpieces now reached for back down to 1m.

Form: 18-6944

(12)

Starliner¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: William Pyle| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 65| CD

Runner-up 4 of 5 starts prior to winning 1m all-weather handicap at Newcastle 12 days ago when dropped in grade. Up 3 lb and has a C&D win to his name but up against a lot younger rivals this time.

Form: 226221

(5)

Trinculo⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: O J Orr| T: H Palmer| OR: 68| BF

Showed fair form for George Baker but failed to improve on handicap debut when last seen in July. Now starts out for a new yard upped to 1m so is a possible improver and is worth watching in the betting.

Form: 8-335

(4)

Mayor Of Maghera^p⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Billy Garritty| T: R M Smith| OR: 60| D

Made most at Musselburgh in June but not kicked on since and more required here.

Form: 176054

(2)

Penelope's Sister⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 56| CD

Three-time winner over C&D but not so good this year and may be better off in a lower grade.

Form: 543567

Forecasts

Barley (9/2), Starliner (5/1), They All Know Me (11/2), Sailthisshipalone (7/1), Green Pursuit (7/1), You Sexy Thing (8/1), Trinculo (10/1), Quiet Resolve (14/1), Roaring Ralph (16/1), Penelope's Sister (20/1), Mayor Of Maghera (20/1), Mandarin Spirit (20/1), Upper East (20/1)

SAILTHISSHIPALONE has been consistent since joining this yard but finds himself back below last winning mark and this looks a good opportunity back down in grade. You Sexy Thing is lightly raced and is another dropping in grade after a return from a break so could reveal more, while Green Pursuit is only just starting out over this trip and did enough to think it suited last time.
