Back to his best when winning a 13-runner handicap at Ayr (1¼m, good) under a very good ride in August. Another creditable effort when fourth of 7 at Redcar (1¼m, good to firm, 5/2) 34 days ago but there were no excuses.

Impartiality^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Shane Gray| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 86

9/2

Strong-travelling type who placed on 5 successive starts between June and September and is the type to bounce back from a rare below-par effort at Hamilton last time.

Twice a winner in 2025. Posted comfortably his best effort of the season when second over 1m here last month but eased as if amiss at Southwell (7f) since. Significantly back up in trip.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 82| D

13/2

Hold-up type who capitalised on a career-low mark in this grade at Redcar (1¼m) last month. Creditable third over C&D next time but his run of good form came to a halt when well held at York 9 days ago.

Form: 483138

Bnaider¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 82| BF| D

2/1

Lightly-raced 3-y-o. Built on his solid reappearance form when readily off the mark in a Haydock handicap in May, justifying good support in the process. Off 4 months, shaped as if better for run when fifth of 12 at Salisbury (1¼m, good to soft) 18 days ago. Remains open to improvement.

Form: 443-415

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: I Furtado| OR: 77| C

9/1

Successful on 1m course reappearance in April and well served by return to soft ground when successful at Ayr (1m) last month. Respectable fifth of 20 at York (1m, soft) 9 days ago. Up in trip.

Green Area¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: C Johnston| OR: 79

10/1

St Mark's Basilica filly from an excellent family. Has made steady progress, readily getting off the mark at third attempt in 3-runner Carlisle novice (11f) in August before third of 7 on 1½m Catterick handicap debut. Down in trip. Could have more to offer.

10/1

Big step back in the right direction for current yard when third of 13 in handicap at Haydock (1¼m, good to soft) 46 days ago, faring best of those ridden handily. Unexposed at this trip.

Form: 813-803

Ohara^p³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oliver Carmichael⁽⁷⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 75| C

16/1

Heavy ground winner who has run with credit in sellers at Goodwood and Chester on his last 2 outings. Runner-up off this mark earlier in the season.

Form: 820744

Forecasts

Per Contra (7/2), Obito (9/2), Walsingham (6/1), Bnaider (7/1), Green Area (7/1), Impartiality (7/1), Sailthisshipalone (10/1), Billyb (12/1), Night Patrol (12/1), Ohara (25/1)

The lightly-raced BNAIDER should be spot on for this after a recent run at Salisbury and is taken to resume his progression and prove too strong for fellow 3-y-o Night Patrol. Impartiality's overall consistency suggests he can bounce back from a rare below-par run last time and also play a prominent role.
