Ravenscraig Castle^b¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Cara Tuke⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 55

7/1

Without a win on the Flat since 2021. Did run one of his better races of the year when 4¾-length second over C&D last time. This looks a deeper 0-55, though.

Form: 4-85492

Bun Bang Fai¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Aiden Brookes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 55

50/1

Free-going sort who failed to progress for Archie Watson. Eases in grade having offered little in 2 starts for present yard.

Form: 6648-09

Gemini Man¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Mark Winn| T: I Jardine| OR: 55| CD

9/2

Has won 3 times on the Flat this year, including C&D classified event at this course in June. Again ran well when close second to a next-time-out winner over C&D last time. Has to be on the shortlist off only 1 lb higher.

Form: 1P9242

Whiskey Pete^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 54

17/2

Extended his long losing run when below form in 1m handicap here last time. Return to 1¼m should at least benefit on first start in 0-55 company.

New Objective¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: K Frost| OR: 55

13/2

Ran just about as well as he has when 2¾-length fourth over C&D last time. Less exposed than most in this field and hasn't been long with current yard. One of the more interesting runners.

Typeface^p,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S Donohoe| T: Ian Williams| OR: 49| BF

10/1

Runner-up twice here last winter and has hit the frame all 4 starts on turf since his reappearance (been expensive to follow). Potentially very well treated back on the all-weather and may capitalise if settling back up in trip.

Form: 7-64334

Skirt Around³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S D Bowen| T: P A Kirby| OR: 54

40/1

Low-mileage 3-y-o. No impact in 3 handicap starts to date, beaten by more than just the longer trip at Ripon (1½m) last time. Does at least benefit from an ease in grade.

Form: 643-874

Pride Eye⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: M G Rimell| OR: 48

11/2

Hold-up type. Caused 66/1 shock over 1m at Southwell in January. Went as close as she has since in classified event at Lingfield last month and still in form when 1½-length fourth over longer trip there (1½m) last time. Respected in her current form, though lack of pace in the race isn't ideal.

Form: 744524

Parole Officer^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Barry McHugh| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 52

10/3

Placed 4 times for Sean Woods last year. Best form for current yard has come over C&D, not seen to best effect when beaten 3½ lengths in 3-y-o handicap here latest. Wouldn't want this to be run at a crawl, though.

Form: 4-99065

Muddy Marvellous^p1³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁵⁾| T: S Spencer| OR: 47

50/1

Hasn't stood much racing. Again achieved little on comeback at Southwell (1m). Hard to be confident he'll fare better for headgear/longer trip.

Form: 948/05-8

Park Lane Penny⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jonny Peate| T: I Furtado| OR: 51

13/2

Slow-starting 3-y-o who got off the mark in classified stakes at Thirsk (1m) in July. Didn't get away with a tardy start at Redcar subsequently. Less exposed than most, however, longer trip a question mark on pedigree.

Forecasts

Parole Officer (10/3), Gemini Man (9/2), Pride Eye (11/2), New Objective (13/2), Park Lane Penny (13/2), Ravenscraig Castle (7/1), Whiskey Pete (17/2), Typeface (10/1), Eeetee (16/1), Suitcase Smith (16/1), Someone's Wish (33/1), Skirt Around (40/1), Muddy Marvellous (50/1), Bun Bang Fai (50/1)

TYPEFACE is lurking on handy mark back on the all-weather and he gets the vote. The dangers are headed by Gemini Man, who chased home a subsequent winner here last time. New Objective, Pride Eye and Parole Officer also need considering in a competitive opener.
