Catesby⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 62| D

6/1

Career best when winning at Wolverhampton in May. May have found race coming too soon when tenth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good, 14/1) 44 days ago and may be worth another chance from this mark.

Form: 3694-10

Dan De Light^e/s⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 57| C

10/1

Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 17/2, continued below form when sixth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. 8lb higher now. Back up in trip. Eyeshields back on. Hard to fancy at present.

Form: 0-03776

18/1

Best effort this term when of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good, 18/1) 41 days ago but still operating a long way below best this season and still can't be fancied way down in weights.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh| T: J Mackie| OR: 55

11/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 50/1, best effort for some time when third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 15 days ago, never nearer. Frame claims if in same form.

Alafdhal^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 55| D

9/2

Off mark at Yarmouth in June and ran well when third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago. Still unexposed as a sprinter and isn't taken lightly.

16/1

Already developed an inconsistent profile and ran poorly when seventh of 8 in handicap (9/1) at Doncaster (6f, good) 19 days ago. Can give a good account if on a going day.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: L P Keniry| T: S Kirk| OR: 52

Forecasts

Ustath (15/8), Alafdhal (9/2), Catesby (6/1), Dylan's Lad (7/1), Dan De Light (10/1), Good Listener (11/1), Diva Dancer (14/1), Banana (16/1), Danzart (18/1), Company Minx (20/1), Gala Bella (33/1), Robert Frost (66/1), Littlemissattitude (66/1)

ALAFDHAL improved for the switch to sprinting when getting off the mark at Yarmouth and remains unexposed over this trip. Ustath ran well under a good ride last time and can also go well, with Company Minx also in the mix on her best form.
