Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80| D

13/2

Benefitted from a change of tactics when making all at Ayr (soft) 3 weeks ago. Similar tactics in this big field will be harder to pull off but respected all the same.

28/1

3 wins from 11 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Thirsk (8f, good, 13/2) 25 days ago, well positioned. Will find this tougher back up in class against the males.

7/1

Arrives in terrific form, responding well to this headgear when good second of 12 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, soft) 29 days ago. Can make presence felt again.

Form: 741222

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: M Appleby| OR: 79| D

33/1

Mixed record this year but took a step back in the right direction at Leicester and inconvenienced by the drop in trip at Newmarket since. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Bobby Shaft³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 77| D

50/1

Lightly-raced gelding. Left Richard Fahey on the cheap but caused a surprise to win Newcastle maiden last month. More needed back in a handicap off current mark, however.

Form: 4222-01

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Easterby| OR: 77| C| D

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Ellie Mackenzie⁽⁷⁾| T: H Main| OR: 77

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 76

33/1

Six of his career wins have come at Pontefract and came very close to recording a seventh win there 2 weeks ago. Record at York not so good, however.

Dubai Acclaim^t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76| D

16/1

Form: 95130D

Entrancing^v1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 77

16/1

Debut winner at 2 yrs. Some good efforts in defeat earlier in the season but seems to have gone off the boil. Headgear on.

Form: 424794

Captain Claret^h1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 77| BF

13/2

Progressed again when making all in Bath maiden. Shaped much better than the bare result when fifth on handicap bow there next time, ridden too aggressively. Hood applied and worth another chance.

Form: 5215

(3)

Proud Archi²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 75| D

16/1

In good form this season (should have won on second outing) before seeming unsuited by testing ground last 2 starts, so conditions of concern again.

Form: 0-23580

Mogsy⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 74| D

11/1

Facile winner of a small-field C&D novice event for Tom Dascombe last summer. Yet to scale same heights upon joining present stable, running poorly at Beverley when last seen in July.

Form: 210-630

Oso Rapido^t1⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76| DWS

14/1

Won Redcar nursery on final 2-y-o start and very good third of 11 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good) on return. Went off too hard at Catterick since so could well bounce back.

Form: 5761-36

(7)

Soaring Star²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 75

10/1

Some improvement when off the mark in novice at Ayr (6f, good to soft) but only fourth of 11 back in a handicap at Redcar since.

Form: 20-3314

(15)

Ice Eagle³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Bentley| T: E Walker| OR: 75| D

16/1

All the better for debut when winning at Redcar in July. Similar form on the AW both starts since and remains with potential back on turf.

Form: 9134

Blue Skyline^h1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 73| D

12/1

Didn't look an easy ride but did find for pressure when shedding maiden status on the Newmarket July Course but disappointed in blinkers next time. Hood replaces blinkers.

Forecasts

True Blue Moon (13/2), Captain Claret (13/2), Zip (7/1), Soaring Star (10/1), Lapidary (11/1), Mogsy (11/1), Global Spirit (12/1), Blue Skyline (12/1), Oso Rapido (14/1), Top Secret (14/1), Entrancing (16/1), Ice Eagle (16/1), Dubai Acclaim (16/1), Proud Archi (16/1), Cassy O (16/1), Parys Mountain (20/1), Dancing Rave (28/1), Mr Orange (33/1), Thrave (33/1), Bobby Shaft (50/1)

CAPTAIN CLARET is an improving 3-y-o who shaped much better than the bare result on his handicap bow at Bath (ridden too aggressively) and can prove that his opening mark is a lenient one at the second attempt. Zip arrives at the top of his game and should give another good account, while the lightly-raced Ice Eagle remains with potential back on turf.
