Sheriff Garrett^p⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: A Mullen| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62| BF| CD

11/8

Zero from nine on turf but won over C&D on his sole start on the AW. Runner-up at Thirsk on most recent start and has to be of interest returned to the AW with the yard in form.

Form: 0-64212

Padleyourowncanoe^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Dane O'Neill| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 60

8/1

More consistent than his one win from 10 starts suggests but sole win came at Southwell and he's now 8lb higher than that mark. Promising run over hurdles last time out and finished second of 13 here the time before but suspicion is that there's not a whole amount of scope from a handicapping perspective.

Form: 4-14532

Magic Beans²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 59

7/1

Progressing slowly but signs his turn may not be too far away last time at Sandown. Both AW starts have been disappointing though and may need more relief from the handicapper.

Form: 076-544

Easy Wind^p1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Powell| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 58| BF

11/2

Typically improved for this yard when stepped up in trip and entered into handicap company. Fair third of 12 at Ayr before finishing a beaten even-money favourite at Chepstow last time out. First-time cheekpieces and a return to the AW may see her in a better light.

Form: 00532

Haldaw¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P J Dobbs| T: M R Channon| OR: 57

33/1

Still a maiden after seven starts but her best effort to date came over 1m4f here earlier in the year. Very disappointing at Lingfield last time, possibly going off too hard and handicap mark looks a little beyond her at present. Trainer does well with his fillies so any market support should be noted.

Form: 9-26648

Lulu The Rocket²⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: M Harley| T: J Butler| OR: 57

5/1

Has her first start for a new yard here and only shown bits of a ability to date. Ran well on the Tapeta at Newcastle last time out and needs to improve for the step up in trip and the switch of yard.

Form: 0862-7

Breton Belle⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 54

33/1

Virtually tailed off on all three starts to date including a maiden here on debut. Has been very slowly away on each occasion and needs to improve markedly to land a blow here.

Form: 777

(12)

Netley Abbey^p²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Edward Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: Karen George| OR: 47

20/1

Unplaced on all eight starts and no improvement on two starts since joining this yard. Hard to fancy on all known form and trainer not had a winner for over a year.

Form: 6-56976

(8)

Shadow Of Hercules^v¹⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Phil Dennis⁽⁵⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 45

150/1

Virtually tailed off on each of his seven starts and hard to fancy from out of the handicap.

Form: 0007-08

(6)

Volturnus^b1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: F Norton| T: J A Osborne| OR: 45

50/1

Tailed off on all three starts on turf. Shown nothing from an ability perspective and hugely reliant on first-time blinkers and a switch to the AW returning him to form. Likely to struggle from way out of the handicap.

Form: 007

Forecasts

Sheriff Garrett (11/8), Lulu The Rocket (5/1), Easy Wind (11/2), Magic Beans (7/1), Padleyourowncanoe (8/1), Delannoy (10/1), Netley Abbey (20/1), Haldaw (33/1), Breton Belle (33/1), Bed Of Diamonds (33/1), Volturnus (50/1), Shadow Of Hercules (150/1)

SHERIFF GARRETT may be worth siding with on his return to the AW and he wasn't beaten far at Thirsk last time out. Easy Wind could prove popular after some improved performances over further while Padleyourowncanoe is a consistent sort who may place once again.
