Awesome Allan^t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Matt Cosham⁽³⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 62| CD

5/4

Scored over C&D last time out and avoids a penalty as a result of that being an apprentice contest. Has been holding his form well of late and if he can do so again then he looks sure to be thereabouts.

Form: 600221

Racquet⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 62| D

17/2

Handles cut and all three wins have come over this trip, the last of them at Ayr in August from 2lb higher. Was beaten 6L over 5f (soft) at Catterick last time, but should be better over this trip and enters calculations.

Form: 370062

(13)

Mimic's Memory⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: J Garritty| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 62

50/1

Sole success was at Southwell (7f) in May from a mark of 57. Went very close from today's mark next time, also on the All Weather, but well beaten on soft on turf last twice, including over C&D last time and looks up against it.

Form: 541206

Ambitious Icarus^p,e/s,h⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: R C Guest| OR: 59| D

10/1

Not beaten too far over 5f (good to soft) from this mark at Nottingham last time out and was just ¾L behind the winner at Bath (5½f, soft) when 1lb higher earlier. Should be thereabouts, but 34-race losing run suggests risky for win purposes.

Form: 433345

Amherst Rock^t⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Danny Brock| T: L McJannet| OR: 59

100/1

Has been limited to just four starts in 16 months since is Doncaster debut last year. Best effort came over this trip on fast ground at Newmarket next time, though shown little twice on All Weather since. Dropped 5lb but plenty to prove.

Form: 970-9

(14)

Market Choice³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 58| D

22/1

Won his maiden over this trip and scored on soft over 5f in a Thirsk handicap 14 months ago for Michael Dods. Hinted at possible return to form last time and 3lb drop won't harm, so could make an impact.

Form: 375906

(8)

Nellie's Dancer^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: S Dixon| OR: 56

9/1

Her best form to date has been on the All Weather, though she went close over 7f at Yarmouth (good) in July when 4lb lower. Couldn't rule out a bit of improvement, though she has had a few chances now and may again find something too good.

Form: 927322

(10)

Barkston Ash^p⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Hart| T: E J Alston| OR: 53| CD

11/1

Has a soft ground C&D win to his name from several season ago and is without success since 2014. Now 36lb lower than his last success and has shwon very little this year. Very hard to recommend him.

Form: 80-7080

(15)

Cool Strutter^b⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: S H James| T: K Tutty| OR: 51

15/2

Has come back to form from today's mark on his last two starts, over C&D (soft) last week and then when beaten just a head at Catterick (6f, soft) 24 hours later. Tries again here and has to be high on the list.

Form: 404632

(12)

Robbian⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: C Smith| OR: 48| BF| D

12/1

Put together back-to-back wins on soft ground this time last year and was back to form at Catterick (6f, soft) last time when 2lb higher. A repeat effort would give him claims again in this.

Form: 635473

(11)

Henrietta's Dream^b¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: G Lee| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 48

33/1

Inconsistent filly who was beaten less than 2L into second at 100/1 over C&D (good to soft) last month. That was in maiden company and she now returns to handicapping, which if previous form is worth anything, means that improvement is required.

Form: 357042

(9)

Mighty Bond^p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Barry McHugh| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 47

20/1

21-race maiden who has at least run some of his better races here over C&D and on soft. Has been a bit off the boil compared to his best in maidens here the last twice, but back in a handicap he has an each-way shout.

Form: 203947

(5)

Captain Scooby^b⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: R C Guest| OR: 45| C| D

20/1

18 wins makes him easily the most successful performer in this field numerically and he goes well on soft and over this trip. Inconsistent, but when he throws in a good run he can still finish in the money, so don't be surprised if he does so.

Form: 307065

(3)

Kirkby's Phantom^p⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: A Mullen| T: A Berry| OR: 45

150/1

Yet to make the frame from seven attempts and beaten out of sight in all of them from 5f-7f on good good to soft or the All Weather. Impossible to fancy.

Form: 95-0068

Forecasts

Awesome Allan (5/4), Cool Strutter (15/2), Racquet (17/2), Nellie's Dancer (9/1), Ambitious Icarus (10/1), Barkston Ash (11/1), Robbian (12/1), Mighty Bond (20/1), Captain Scooby (20/1), Market Choice (22/1), Roman Times (25/1), Henrietta's Dream (33/1), Mimic's Memory (50/1), Amherst Rock (100/1), Kirkby's Phantom (150/1)

Some mediocre and inconsistent performers line up for this and it could pay to side with C&D winner AWESOME ALLAN, who is holding his form better than most of them and can make the most of his penalty-free return to the track. Joint topweight Racquet should be thereabouts back over this trip, while Cool Strutter, Robbian and Mighty Bond all have points of appeal
