Inkberrow¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: S & E Crisford| D

1/3

Excellent start when runner-up on debut at Wolverhampton last month (6f) and she didn't need to improve to readily land the odds back there 2 weeks ago. No reason why she won't be as effective on turf and she'll take some stopping under a penalty from a good draw.

Form: 21

Stoneacre Joe^b,t1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 54

28/1

Ran to a fair level when runner-up on first 2 starts this season. Hasn't gone on from those efforts since, though, and he's now fully exposed. Tongue tie added.

Top Lad⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 55

40/1

Has achieved little recently so easy to look elsewhere.

Black Orchid^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68

3/1

Ardad filly who is proving consistent and was runner-up for the fifth time on handicap debut at Southwell (6f) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on and while stall 8 isn't ideal, she can be a factor again.

Miss Tino⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Barry McHugh| T: D Thompson

200/1

Half-sister to smart 5f-6f winner Intrinsic Bond but no impact herself after 2 starts.

Form: 50

Royale Union^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 65

8/1

Placed twice during the summer but progress has rather stalled, big prices both starts in handicaps in recent weeks. Cheekpieces reached for.

Forecasts

Inkberrow (1/3), Black Orchid (3/1), Poor Relation (4/1), Royale Union (8/1), Stoneacre Joe (28/1), Top Lad (40/1), Byerley Lady (50/1), Miss Tino (200/1), Heaven's Hope (200/1)

Unlike her chief form rivals, INKBERROW retains the scope to rate higher and following a smooth success at Wolverhampton she can successfully concede weight all round. Black Orchid may well extend her sequence of runner-up efforts to 6, with Poor Relation likely to be sticking to her task.
