Young Fire¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: S A Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 103| D

17/2

Three wins from 9 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Redcar (1m, heavy) 12 days ago. 7 lb rise demands more but clearly at the top of his game right now.

Form: 471041

Kynren²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: B A Curtis| T: T D Barron| OR: 102| D

5/1

Lots of good efforts in big handicaps in recent years. Shaped as if in form from a less than ideal position when eighth of 18 in Balmoral at Ascot last time and he's back on a good mark.

Form: 6-90508

(13)

Tomfre¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 101| CD

5/1

Useful handicapper who is well suited by testing ground, winning at Leicester and over C&D last month. Raised another but still respected with conditions to suit again.

Form: 620811

Fox Champion⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: R Hannon| OR: 98| CD

28/1

Won the German 2000 Guineas and third in a French Group 1 last year but operating below that level this season, no impact in 7f handicaps last twice. Others preferred again.

Form: 7-00670

(14)

Revich^v⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Spencer| OR: 97| D

18/1

Racked up back-to-back 7f wins at Chester (good/good to soft) in August before good fifth of 16 in handicap at Ascot in September. 1 lb lower now and each-way claims if okay on this softer surface.

Form: 3-65115

(11)

Hartswood¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 96| D

20/1

Failed to handle very testing ground at Leicester last time but he had looked very progressive in some strong handicaps at York prior to that. Every chance he can bounce straight back.

Form: 16-3126

(3)

Tranchee¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 95| BF| CD

7/2

Thriving for current yard, winning over 6.5f at Leger meeting here and good placed efforts at York and back here (both 6f) since. No problem going back up to 7f. Another prominent showing likely.

Form: U22123

Firmament^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 94| D

18/1

Back to winning ways at York (7f) in July but hasn't quite been operating at the same level since.

Form: 610685

(9)

Ebury³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: S Dixon| OR: 93

25/1

Useful and progressive in 2019. Hasn't kicked on in the manner expected this year and needs a change of scenery (has left Martyn Meade) to help spark a revival.

Form: 2-66046

(1)

Aplomb^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 91

9/1

Back on song when scoring at Ripon (6f) in September. Latest course fifth of 12 from too far back suggests he's worth just this second attempt beyond sprint trips.

Form: 080105

(12)

Punchbowl Flyer^b¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 92

16/1

Right back on song when successful over 6f in the mud at Windsor and Newbury last month. Likely to be in the shake-up again if as effective back over 7f.

Form: 148011

(5)

Toronto^p1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: J G Given| OR: 91

40/1

Having second outing for this yard when second over 11.5f at Haydock (heavy) in September. Best run since when fourth over 1¾m at Nottingham last time. Now down markedly in trip with cheekpieces on.

Form: 552374

(6)

Nicholas T¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Phil Dennis| T: J S Goldie| OR: 88| C

125/1

Last 6 wins have come at Ayr, the latest over this trip off 6 lb higher in June. Been below that level since and others preferred again despite the fact he's well handicapped.

Form: 097607

(15)

Molls Memory¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: J P Spencer| T: E Walker| OR: 87| D

11/2

Back to winning ways in 7f Newbury handicap (heavy) 15 days ago. 3 lb rise for that defeat of a couple of 3-y-os doesn't look excessive and she ought to go well again.

Form: 201-971

(4)

Gabrial The Devil⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 87

33/1

Former heavy-ground winner. Career best when back to winning ways in 11-runner handicap at Chester (6f, good to soft) 8 weeks ago. Only nudged up 2 lb but that form has taken a few knocks since.

Form: 51-7721

Forecasts

Tranchee (7/2), Tomfre (5/1), Kynren (5/1), Molls Memory (11/2), Young Fire (17/2), Aplomb (9/1), Punchbowl Flyer (16/1), Firmament (18/1), Revich (18/1), Hartswood (20/1), Ebury (25/1), Fox Champion (28/1), Gabrial The Devil (33/1), Toronto (40/1), Nicholas T (125/1)

KYNREN shaped as if back in form in the Balmoral and might be worth siding with here having been given a chance by the handicapper. Hartswood will be a threat if able to shrug off a disappointing run last time as his form prior to that is strong. Recent Newbury winner Molls Memory and Tranchee are others likely to be in the shake-up.
