Alright Sunshine¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 97| BF

7/4

Prolific in his career so far, yet to finish out of the first three, winning six (three bumpers). Only narrowly denied in a hat-trick bid at Haydock last time, making up plenty of ground from rear and still looks well handicapped despite a 4lb rise.

Arrowtown^h¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 91| CD

14/1

Loves cut in the ground and rattled off a hat-trick towards the end of last season in soft/heavy conditions. Well beaten at Haydock on seasonal bow (Alright Sunshine second) but could come on for that and may yet have more to give.

Theglasgowwarrior⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: J S Goldie| OR: 90

13/2

Gained five wins in the space of eight months between Dec 2017 and July 2018 but only managed to win once this year. 1lb above his highest winning mark and perhaps vulnerable in a race this competitive.

Claire Underwood¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 87

7/1

Won twice on AW last winter and got her head back in front on turf at Musselburgh in May. Put in her best effort since when only narrowly denied at Thirsk last time out, shaping like this step up in trip should suit; interesting runner.

Seinesational^v¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W J Knight| OR: 85

9/1

Won four times in 2018 and has been consistent this year with two wins and three placed efforts from seven outings. Marathon trip will suit here and he rates as a solid each-way contender.

Form: 631623

Sassie¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: K Stott| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 79

11/1

A bit more consistent on AW than turf but ran with promise at York when fifth of 12 earlier this month on yard debut. Will need more against these rivals though.

Form: 531345

Qawamees^b,t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 78

40/1

Belatedly off the mark when winning at odds of 20/1 in a Pontefract handicap last month. Couldn't build on that at York last time out but the step up in trip could suit given that he stays 2m+ over hurdles.

Form: 632219

(6)

Project Bluebook^p⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 77

4/1

Largely in good form over hurdles this summer and while he's yet to prove that he's quite as effective on the Flat, the handicapper is giving him a real chance from this sort of mark. Stamina should be no issue and not ruled out here.

Form: 022/649-

(7)

So Near So Farhh²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: P Mathers| T: M R Channon| OR: 72| D

18/1

Well suited to a marathon trip having won over 2m1f at Pontefract and only narrowly denied in her bid for her third win in five starts at Chester last time. Career high mark to cope with but clearly an improving filly and not without place claims.

Form: 414132

Alright Sunshine (7/4), Project Bluebook (4/1), Theglasgowwarrior (13/2), Claire Underwood (7/1), Seinesational (9/1), Sassie (11/1), Arrowtown (14/1), So Near So Farhh (18/1), Qawamees (40/1)

ALRIGHT SUNSHINE looked somewhat unlucky not to win at Haydock last time out, perhaps throwing his chance away when wandering under pressure in the final stages of that contest but he still looks well-handicapped and left the impression there was plenty left when hitting the line. There's a host of each-way chances in the contest and Project Bluebook might be the most interesting if he can become as effective on the Flat as over hurdles. Claire Underwood could improve for the step up in trip and Arrowtown is a mare who may come on for the reappearance at Haydock last time.
