Hackberry³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Oliver Stammers| T: B Ellison| OR: 69

22/1

Fair 2m winner in bumpers. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap (66/1) at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 30 days ago, albeit not seen to best effect having been held up. Not one to write off just yet.

Daawy^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: George Bass| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 68

16/1

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: H Main| OR: 66

16/5

Resumed winning ways at Southwell (12f) in August and not disgraced either start since, keeping on for third following a tardy start over 12f here last time. One to bear in mind here.

20/1

First run since leaving Mark Johnston when pulled up in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 23 days ago, clearly not 100% on the day. Still, needs to confirm stamina for the trip.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Andrew Breslin| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 61| BF| CD

Forecasts

Bollin Neil (11/4), Lord Torranaga (16/5), Prison Break (8/1), Overthink (17/2), Justified (9/1), Tindrum (10/1), The Navigator (10/1), Daawy (16/1), Miss Roulette (20/1), The Twisler (20/1), Hackberry (22/1), Novis Adventus (33/1), Jamil (50/1)

LORD TORRANAGA was forced into a change of tactics on the back of a tardy start but confirmed himself in good form when keeping on for third over shorter here 17 days ago. Operating from a workable mark, he could be the answer. 3-y-o Overthink, last year's winner Bollin Neil and The Navigator head up the dangers in a competitive finale.
