Stonific³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 82| D

10/1

Two wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Beverley in July. 33/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Goodwood (20.6f, good) 31 days ago. Drop back in trip will help but vulnerable all the same.

Form: 4-45110

Sassie^t⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: G Lee| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 81| D

16/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at Haydock (14f, heavy) 55 days ago. Others boast more compelling credentials.

Form: 5351-60

Illustrissime³³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: M Walford| OR: 76| D

28/1

Seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) 33 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere was poor and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 208-469

Weather Front¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine| OR: 76| C| D

11/4

Course winner. 16/1, first run since leaving Karen McLintock when good second of 13 in handicap at Haydock (14f, good) 18 days ago, left with lot to do. Big player off same mark.

Form: 12115/2

Red Tornado⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 71| D

25/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2014. 33/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Went close over 1¾m here on latest start in this sphere in June.

Form: 8/7400-2

Billy No Mates²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 71

13/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2018. 13/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (16f, good to firm) latest. Just edged out by Stonific at Beverley in July and enjoys a handy pull at the weights here.

Form: 8-55025

(4)

Land Of Winter¹⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: P Mulrennan| T: Rae Guest| OR: 67| BF

7/2

Creditable second of 14 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft, 7/2) 171 days ago. Largely consistent in this sphere in 2019 and should give a good account if ready to roll.

Form: 351222-

Frankenstella^p1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: K J Leonard| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 73

11/4

Winner at Pontefract in July. Third of 4 in handicap at Pontefract (17.1f, good to firm, 11/8) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and she needs to raise her game a touch.

Form: 6-4213

Forecasts

Frankenstella (11/4), Weather Front (11/4), Land Of Winter (7/2), Billy No Mates (13/2), Stonific (10/1), Sassie (16/1), Red Tornado (25/1), Illustrissime (28/1)

Successful 3 times in this sphere and twice over hurdles in 2019, WEATHER FRONT is taken to add to his tally here following an encouraging debut effort for this yard at Haydock 18 days ago. Billy No Mates is weighted to reverse last month's Beverley placings with Stonific and may emerge as the main danger ahead of Land of Winter and the 3-y-o Frankenstella.
