Diamond Haze¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 71| D

9/1

Doubled career tally at Thirsk (1m) in May and backed that up when second at Musselburgh (1m) later that month. However, strictly below that level since, eighth of 12 in handicap at first-named venue 18 days ago.

Arranmore^v²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70| BF| CD

10/3

C&D winner. 3/1 and visored for 1st time, ran best race for a while when fifth of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (1m, good) 27 days ago. Losing run is mounting up but he's not out of things from this sort of mark.

Yoshimi²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 69

10/1

1 win from 2 runs this year. Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 10/1) 23 days ago, always holding on. Remains well treated on old form if he can back that up now.

Form: 0865-61

Sandret⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Haslam| OR: 68

18/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2019. Tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 12/1) 57 days ago, slowly into stride and always behind. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 4336-00

Motarajel^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64| CD

11/2

Latest win over C&D in July. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 11 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Expected to be in the mix again.

Red Kite¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 70| BF| D

4/1

Winner at Brighton (1m) in June. 2/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good) 17 days ago not getting home having proved a shade keen. Fact he's operating as sole 3-y-o in this line-up a plus and he's not out of things.

Safran^h¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: D O'Meara| OR: 63| D

7/1

Unreliable individual. 11/2 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Hood back on. Others more persuasive.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 56| BF| D

4/1

2 wins from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in July. 5/4, respectable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago.

Form: 000-113

ARRANMORE's losing run tempers enthusiasm but he ran his best race for a while when fifth over 1m at Pontefract 4 weeks ago and, back at a venue where he has gone well previously, he could be up to defying his reduced mark. Yoshimi, who scored at Leicester recently, and 3-y-o Red Kite are others to consider.
