Lezardrieux¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Oliver Stammers⁽⁵⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 80| D

6/1

Better than ever with 6f wins at Catterick and Haydock in recent weeks. Success at latter venue came in a competitive big-field event and 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him making a bold bid.

Form: 460211

(11)

Flying Pursuit^t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80| D

8/1

Hasn't fired in recent starts but he is back on a handy mark and it wouldn't be a shock to see him revive.

Form: 350000

(14)

Second Collection^h⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A W Carroll| OR: 78| D

15/2

Dual turf winner this year, latterly over 5f at Windsor in August. Creditable efforts in defeat last twice and likely to be competitive again.

Form: 535124

(1)

Prince Of Bel Lir¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: J Parr| OR: 79| CD

13/2

Successful reappearance over C&D (soft) in May. Also registered a couple of creditable placed efforts this summer but he was well behind Lezardrieux at Haydock last time.

Form: 5-19320

(10)

Ehrmann^p,t³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 78| BF

20/1

Gained reward for consistency when doubling career tally at Pontefract under Tom Marquand in July. Needs to shrug off couple of lesser efforts since but the return of Marquand to the saddle may help.

Form: 263155

(16)

Jordan Electrics⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 74| D

14/1

In cracking form when successful at Ayr and Hamilton in July but recent efforts suggest he may have gone off the boil.

Form: 112405

(15)

Ava Go Joe^p²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76

11/2

Beverley maiden winner in June and runner-up 4 times from 6 starts in handicaps since, going down by ½ length in competitive 3-y-o event at York latest. Should go well.

Form: 222662

(17)

The Princes Poet²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 76

22/1

Latest win at Windsor in August. Good ½-length fourth of 9 to Show Me Show Me at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) next time but not in the same form on Newcastle's AW since. Return to turf may help.

Form: 158140

(9)

World Of Windhover¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 73| D

12/1

Winner at Kempton in June and back to form to resume winning ways at Yarmouth (6f, firm) in August. Seemed unsuited by the track at Newmarket since and treated as if still in form.

Form: 217316

(2)

Lockdown^t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: George Baker| OR: 75| D

17/2

Hood added to tongue tie and better than ever when landing 12-runner handicap at Kempton in June. Creditable third at Goodwood a week ago on his sole start since. Hood off this time.

Form: 356-813

(4)

East Street Revue^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73| D

28/1

Won back to back at Haydock (6f) and Pontefract (5f) this summer but 2 of his last 3 efforts have been disappointing. Others are more obvious.

Form: 411768

(5)

Khabib^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Quinn| T: R Craggs| OR: 72

20/1

Got his head back in front at Beverley in July but the handicapper has essentially looked in control since.

Form: 212946

(13)

Wade's Magic^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| D

12/1

Goes in search of a hat-trick after 6f wins at Ripon and Redcar in recent weeks. Yard continues to churn out the winners on a regular basis and it would be no surprise were she to pull out more.

Form: 237311

(12)

Redrosezorro^h²²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: E J Alston| OR: 67| D

40/1

Developed into quite a useful handicapper last year, winning 3 times over 6f/7f at Catterick. Yet to hit the same heights in 2021 but his mark continues to fall.

Form: 086977

(6)

Camachess¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: F Norton| T: P J McBride| OR: 65| D

50/1

Latest win at Haydock in April but has been well below form on all 4 outings since. Others much more obvious.

Forecasts

Ava Go Joe (11/2), Lezardrieux (6/1), Prince Of Bel Lir (13/2), Second Collection (15/2), Flying Pursuit (8/1), Lockdown (17/2), Wade's Magic (12/1), World Of Windhover (12/1), Jordan Electrics (14/1), Lady Celia (16/1), Ehrmann (20/1), Khabib (20/1), The Princes Poet (22/1), East Street Revue (28/1), Afandem (33/1), Redrosezorro (40/1), Camachess (50/1)

Tim Easterby saddles 5 and can take the prize back to North Yorkshire courtesy of AVA GO JOE, whose latest second in a 3-y-o event at York appeals as solid form. Lezardrieux and Wade's Magic, a stablemate of the selection, are much respected as they go in search of a hat-trick. World of Windhover can have a line put through his latest run and also makes the shortlist.
