Form: 66711/1-

Trongate²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 110

6/1

Placed on 4 of his 6 starts for new yard this year, though let down by jumping when below par at Ayr last time. Type to bounce back.

Ardera Cross^p¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 109| C

11/1

None too reliable and was last of 6 in handicap chase at this course (15.8f, good, 6/1) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Dallas Cowboy¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Ross Chapman| T: Paula Smith| OR: 107

16/1

Ended 2019 with wins over 19f at Catterick and Market Rasen. Shaped as if needing both starts in November after 11 months off and better expected now.

Form: 4411-P5

No No Mac^b⁶⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: I A Duncan| OR: 102| CD

7/2

Plenty of good efforts in defeat last season and probably needed the run after 7 months off at Hexham, an aggressive ride exaggerating things.

Form: 3323P-6

Blue Kascade⁶⁴

Age: 13| Weight: 11-0| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 100| CD

8/1

Firmly in the veteran stage now and well held both starts this season.

Form: P553-55

Shanroe Street^v1¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 100| D

5/1

Mix record since last win in early 2018 and was below form at Kelso before let down by jumping at Hexham. Change of headgear.

Form: U2-434U

Definite Wisdom^v1⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin| OR: 100| CD

4/1

Made a positive start to chasing last season, finishing second at Wetherby before going one better over C&D. Well held both starts since, however, including on return. Headgear applied.

Forecasts

No No Mac (7/2), Definite Wisdom (4/1), Tokaramore (4/1), Henry's Joy (4/1), Shanroe Street (5/1), Racing Pulse (11/2), Trongate (6/1), Blue Kascade (8/1), Ardera Cross (11/1), Dr Hooves (14/1), Dallas Cowboy (16/1)

HENRY'S JOY isn't the most reliable, but he was a good second off 1 lb higher over this C&D 2 weeks ago so is capable of running well again if repeating that. Tokaramore is becoming well treated and may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Trongate, who's back down in class.
