Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: D Tudhope| T: L Bailey| OR: 57| D

5/1

Latest win at Ayr in July. Bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at that course (7.2f, heavy, 12/1) 20 days ago. Definite chance.

Imperial Focus^v⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Nathan Evans| T: S Waugh| OR: 54

13/2

Winner at Redcar in June, his sole taste of success from 30 Flat runs. Creditable fifth of 16 in handicap (18/1) at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Each-way shout.

11/1

Below form fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (5f, good, 9/1) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces refitted and, with this step back up in trip a good move, he's not without hope off the same mark.

11/8

Winner at Musselburgh in July. 8/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good) 7 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 38-5134

9/1

17/2, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces sparking improvement.

Form: 765-650

Glaceon⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 49

13/2

Good sixth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good) 7 days ago. Now 4 lb lower than for her breakthrough succes in Redcar maiden handicap last summer but she ideally wants faster ground.

Form: 20-4496

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: C Lee| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 45

22/1

Ninth of 14 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 33/1) 23 days ago. Needs to find improvement from somewhere.

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 150/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago. Difficult to make a case for.

Forecasts

Eldelbar (11/8), Lagenda (5/1), Imperial Focus (13/2), Glaceon (13/2), Quercus (9/1), B Fifty Two (11/1), Milton Road (16/1), Carriage Clock (22/1), Outofthegloom (40/1), My Girl Maisie (50/1)

ELDELBAR has resumed in good order this season and looks the most solid option, given that the majority of his rivals have something to prove for one reason or another. He did well under the circumstances when fourth over 8.4f at Beverley last week and this is his optimum trip. Lagenda looks the danger ahead of B Fifty Two.
