Quickly Does It¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 69

28/1

Shaped well in two placed efforts last year but then off the track for nearly a year. Well backed after wind surgery but disappointing at Southwell. Fibresand could have been an excuse but this opening handicap mark looks stiff.

Form: 23-5

(8)

Luzum^b1³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: G C O'Neill⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 67

15/2

Thirsk winner off 2lb lower back in June but form has regressed and failed to beat a rival home the last twice. Hard to fancy in his current form.

Form: 621490

Amazing Grazing^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: R P Downey| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 66| D

7/2

Consistent and well handicapped performer who is 4lb lower than his last win. Often goes close but struggles to convert those into wins and last win was in May 2018. Shouldn't be far away again.

Form: 482353

Cotubanama¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 68| D

22/1

Now 7lb lower than last win but without a success this year. Handicapped to go well on her best form but she is proving inconsistent and hard to predict.

Form: 458724

(10)

Hawk In The Sky³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Phil Dennis| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 68

33/1

Off the mark on his third start over 5f at Beverley but then last of eight at Ripon on handicap debut. Down 3lb since then but still doesn't look terribly well handicapped.

Form: 8517

(12)

Avenue Of Stars^v³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 63| CD

8/1

Still 2lb higher than last win on the AW at Newcastle in January and would need rain to be seen at his best on turf. Form has been inconsistent of late and others preferred.

Form: 526838

(9)

Autumn Flight^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62

4/1

Yet to add to early novice win last year but went a close second over this C&D latest when lit up by the addition of blinkers (retained). That was a competitive contest for this level and he remains on a good mark. Rates a leading contender.

Form: 447562

Rickyroadboy¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: M Walford| OR: 58| D

18/1

Dropping quickly in the handicap now following some poor form since his second at Pontefract in May. Well handicapped on that run but hard to be confident in at present.

Form: 026569

(3)

Kenny The Captain¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 57| CD

13/2

Has been searching for career win number 10 since September 2017 despite a drop of 16lb in the weights. Three poor efforts last month and best watched at present.

Form: 034876

(4)

Patrick²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Barry McHugh| T: P T Midgley| OR: 56| BF| C| D

6/1

Infrequent winner and on a losing run dating back to February 2017. Not far away on his last three starts and place possibilities again albeit in a tougher race.

Form: 865925

(6)

Naples Bay¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: S P Davis⁽³⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 55| CD

11/1

Up 3lb and in class after returning to winning ways in gutsy fashion over this C&D last time. Has never won a handicap higher than that class but could be competitive if backing up the performance.

Form: 007601

Jacksonfire^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 46| D

66/1

Just the one win in 49 starts doesn't inspire confidence despite this 3lb lower mark. Not far away the last twice but faces a stiff task here from 7lb out of the handicap.

Form: 047734

Forecasts

Amazing Grazing (7/2), Autumn Flight (4/1), Patrick (6/1), Kenny The Captain (13/2), Luzum (15/2), Avenue Of Stars (8/1), Naples Bay (11/1), Rickyroadboy (18/1), Cotubanama (22/1), Quickly Does It (28/1), Hawk In The Sky (33/1), Jacksonfire (66/1)

Amazing Grazing is never one to get carried away with for win purposes but is reliable and likely to be in the mix once again. AUTUMN FLIGHT bounced right back to form in first-time blinkers here last time is on a good mark off just 1lb higher. Naples Bay won in gritty fashion last time and although this is tougher he should be involved once again.
