Sandyman²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: M Appleby| OR: 75| D

3/1

18/1, stepped up on yard debut effort when second of 8 in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Underfoot conditions fine and one to consider from this sort of mark.

Form: 9957-62

(10)

Menin Gate^p⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 72| D

14/1

Respectable third of 9 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm, 3/1) 67 days ago, switched last ½f and keeping on. Hard to rule out another good showing in this groove.

Form: 1641-23

Maxine¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss C R Crane⁽⁵⁾| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 74| D

9/1

Latest win at Pontefract in May. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, soft, 17/2) 12 days ago, keeping on late. Worth another crack at 1½m on that evidence.

Form: 123485

Regular Income^p³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Emily Bullock⁽⁵⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 70| CD

18/1

4/1, first run since leaving Adam West when tenth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (1m, heavy) 4 weeks ago. Clearly thought capable of better and interesting if strong in betting again.

Form: 0U3-700

(2)

Gert Lush³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Miss Megan Jordan⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 67

40/1

Latest win at Goodwood in June. 4½ lengths fifth of 8 to Wholelotafun in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good, 16/1) 37 days ago.

Form: 441585

(12)

Dr Rio¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Miss Amy Collier⁽³⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 66| BF

33/1

Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to soft, 4/1) 15 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Clive Cox and market best guide with yard also saddling Regular Income.

Form: 772-760

(9)

Sunset Memory¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Miss H C Tucker⁽³⁾| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 68| D

12/1

Winner at Sandown (10f, heavy) in September. 15/2, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, soft) 12 days ago. However, others appeal more for win purposes here.

Form: 566166

(4)

Dance King^b⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 9-10| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64| D

33/1

40/1, below form tenth of 18 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, heavy) 9 days ago, possibly not helped by sticking to the far rail. Better showing not ruled out.

Form: 443370

(11)

Wholelotafun^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: J S Moore| OR: 67| D

9/1

Largely consistent during busy 2021 and arrives here having landed back-to-back Bath handicaps (10f) in recent months. Up 3 lb now but not ruled out in hat-trick bid.

Form: 332011

(8)

Two Brothers^b1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 66

9/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, soft, 9/2) 12 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 425323

Dream Chaser⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Fern O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 61

18/1

First run since leaving Harry Dunlop when creditable sixth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 67 days ago. 2 lb lower now if she can build on that again.

Form: 308656

(3)

Ghostly^b⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Miss Alex Garven⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 55| CD

11/1

3 wins from 14 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (33/1) at this C&D (good) 7 days ago, finding plenty. This tougher under a penalty and not sure to be in same form.

Form: 146771

(6)

Meadow Sprite^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Miss Sophie Smith| T: H Morrison| OR: 56| D

13/2

Career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to soft) 23 days ago, keeping on well. Cheekpieces on 1st time and another good showing not ruled out given low-mileage profile.

Form: 776731

Forecasts

Sandyman (3/1), Two Brothers (9/2), Meadow Sprite (13/2), Maxine (9/1), Wholelotafun (9/1), Ghostly (11/1), Sunset Memory (12/1), Crestwood (12/1), Menin Gate (14/1), Regular Income (18/1), Dream Chaser (18/1), Pirouette Queen (20/1), Dr Rio (33/1), Dance King (33/1), Born To Please (33/1), Gert Lush (40/1)

MEADOW SPRITE is going the right way now, keeping on well to open her account over this trip at Yarmouth 23 days ago, and she's fancied to make another bold bid operating from a 3 lb higher mark. Sandyman stepped up on his yard debut here last month and is feared, along with Two Brothers, Menin Gate and Wholelotafun.
