Impressor^p¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: S H James| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 58| D

13/2

Veteran who landed a gamble in the mud at Hamilton (5f) last month. Has failed to back that up twice since however, including at Redcar on Monday. Could bounce back.

Form: 080136

Barmyblade^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 57| CD

11/2

Has benefited from the cheekpieces going back on this summer, doubling his tally for the season over C&D in July. Form has been a little up and down more recently, though, below best when eighth at Pontefract (5f) 3 weeks ago. Record on ground softer than good isn't inspiring, either.

Stoneywell⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 57

12/1

Hasn't gone on since handicapping and needs to show more before becoming of interest, for all the assessor has given him some further help. Engaged 3.00 Redcar Monday.

Battenburg Belle³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: R Menzies| OR: 57| CD

10/3

Largely consistent filly who has scored 3 times over C&D this year, latterly when making all from 3 lb lower in September. Not at best when fourth behind a subsequent winner at Beverley (5f) 5 weeks ago but better showing anticipated back here for all her present mark demands a bit more.

Ottawa^p,t³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 55| D

10/1

Has struggled this season but did at least show a glimmer of promise when fourth of 9 in a C&D handicap 2 starts back. However, looked less than straightforward in refitted cheekpieces when fifth at Hamilton since. Reapplication of a tongue strap may help (fitted for sole success).

Stormy Pearl^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 50| D

9/1

Successful from 5 lb higher mark at Hamilton last summer and best effort of present campaign when third at Redcar (6f) in July. Respectable efforts on 2 of her 3 starts since, equipped with blinkers when fifth at Newcastle (6f) 2 weeks ago. Respected in refitted cheekpieces.

Form: 303305

Wait For It²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: A Mullen| T: L Bailey| OR: 48| CD

11/1

Made the frame 4 times earlier this season and with her penultimate run easily forgiven, she justified support when shedding maiden tag over C&D 4 weeks ago, staying on to lead dying strides. Raised only 2 lb but wouldn't be an obvious follow-up candidate.

Form: 323401

Desert Master^v²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 47

10/1

Losing sequence now stands at 33 but he bettered his recent exploits on all-weather when second in 14-runner handicap at Nottingham (6f) 3 weeks ago. Forecast conditions hold no fears and he's an each-way player with a repeat.

Form: 435672

Blue Jay Way¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁵⁾| T: J Riches| OR: 47| CD

5/1

Back-to-back wins last autumn, including over C&D. Lightly raced this season but performed creditably after 4 months off when fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 2 weeks ago. May sharpen up for that effort and claims in an open race.

Form: 8-74974

(10)

Pinpoint⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Faye McManoman| T: Suzzanne France| OR: 45

25/1

Successful from a 2 lb higher mark for Ewan Whillans last summer and essentially holding form well upon joining present stable, not disgraced when sixth of 16 in handicap at Redcar (6f) 7 weeks ago. Another holding each-way claims.

Form: 662436

Forecasts

Battenburg Belle (10/3), Blue Jay Way (5/1), Barmyblade (11/2), Impressor (13/2), Stormy Pearl (9/1), Ottawa (10/1), Desert Master (10/1), Wait For It (11/1), Stoneywell (12/1), Pinpoint (25/1)

BATTENBURG BELLE wasn't at her best at Beverley when last seen but Rebecca Menzies' 3-time C&D winner has been given a short break ahead of this and may well bounce back with forecast conditions holding no fears. Impressor, Blue Jay Way and Desert Master are others to keep an eye on.
