Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 81| D

9/1

Capitalised on ease in weights when resuming winning ways at Bath (5f) in June. Respectable efforts have followed in 3 subsequent outings and no reason why he won;t give another good account.

Form: 861543

11/1

Thirteenth of 17 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 24 days ago, left poorly placed. Had previously shaped okay at Chester previously and the assessor is relinquishing his grip.

Form: 1-45760

11/1

Arrives here in good order, following up his Haydock victory in July at Pontefract (5f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. He's one to be interested in again in hat-trick bid.

Sound Reason^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 75| D

3/1

Latest win at Beverley (5f) in May. 9/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and no surprise to see a better showing back down at 5f.

Form: 113335

Khabib^p²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: R Craggs| OR: 75| BF| D

6/1

Latest win at Beverley in July. 10/11, respectable second of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good) 24 days ago. Rider again takes off handy 5 lb and he's another in with a shout.

Form: 4-07212

Nibras Again²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: P T Midgley| OR: 73| D

28/1

Below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 12/1) 22 days ago, off the bridle before most and never landing a blow. Mark is easing but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Navajo Spring^b1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 74| D

9/1

Winner at Redcar in May. 3/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Application of blinkers needs to have a positive effect now.

Form: 312555

(9)

Global Humor^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 71

13/2

3 wins from 10 runs this year. 7/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good) 23 days ago, bit in hand. Not ruled out stepping back down in trip.

Form: 292261

Tees Spirit¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Barry McHugh| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 73| BF

7/1

Winner at Ripon in April. 9/4, good second of 6 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good) 18 days ago, headed on the line. Still relatively low mileage and no reason why he won't remain competitive.

Form: 126732

(2)

International Girl²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 71| BF| D

15/2

Lightly-raced winner. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap (5/2) at York (5.4f, good) 26 days ago. Prevous exploits suggested this mark isn't beyond her and she may yet get back on the up.

Form: 1-0235

(3)

Koropick¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: S A Gray| T: C J Teague| OR: 64

40/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2017. Best effort for some time when third of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good, 33/1) 17 days ago. Task now is to back that up.

Form: 089893

Forecasts

Sound Reason (3/1), Khabib (6/1), Global Humor (13/2), Tees Spirit (7/1), International Girl (15/2), Ginger Jam (9/1), Navajo Spring (9/1), Glory Fighter (11/1), East Street Revue (11/1), Nibras Again (28/1), Koropick (40/1)

INTERNATIONAL GIRL needs forgiving a slightly lesser effort at York on her latest start, yet she had previously been shaping up as though her turn wasn't far away in handicaps from this sort of mark and is fancied to go well back against her elders. East Street Revue arrives on a roll and is feared, along with Tees Spirit and Sound Reason.
