Nip About23
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: Miss Tracy Waggott
Sent off 40/1 but made a promising start with fifth of 8 in novice at Redcar (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago, denied a run last 1f and finishing well. This Pinatubo gelding must enter calculations.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Russell| T: B Ellison| OR:  70| BF
Yet to get his head in front but running well, placed for fifth time this season when second in 5-runner novice at Southwell (5f) 22 days ago. This reliable sort holds very good form claims. Cheekpieces added for first time.

Celtic Arrowp15
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR:  60
Fair maiden who posted a very good runner-up on handicap debut at Thirsk (6f) in July. Hasn't kicked on since though, cheekpieces on for first time when eighth of 9 in handicap over C&D 15 days ago. Needs to step forward.

Sunday River22
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall(3)| T: B Ellison
Off 17 months (trained debut by Paddy Twomey) but shaped well when third of 5 in novice at Southwell (5f, 33/1) 22 days ago. Should improve further. Well in the mix.

Forecasts

Qila (7/4), Sunday River (7/2), Celtic Arrow (4/1), Ennoble (4/1), Nip About (10/1), Moretons (20/1)

Verdict

Brian Ellison holds a strong hand here and his consistent sort QILA is taken to gain a deserved first success at the chief expense of stablemate Sunday River who is much less exposed and rates a big threat. Ennoble and Nip About appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

  1. QilaSP
  2. Sunday RiverSP
  3. EnnobleSP
