Dandy Spirit^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Jonny Peate| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 70| CD

11/1

Latest win here in August. 22/1, last of 11 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Needs to bounce back, but that's possible given that he's 2-3 over this C&D.

Nearly A Gonna^v⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70| D

15/2

Latest win at Leicester in June. 11/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good) 42 days ago. Lurking on a workable mark, but others preferred all the same.

Form: 416695

Triggered¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Gina Mangan| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 69| D

16/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 9/2, last of 5 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Went very close at Nottingham on penultimate start and reproduction of that effort would give him a serious chance.

Form: 874425

Lezardrieux⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 64| CD

9/1

C&D winner. 4/1, won 11-runner handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy) 9 days ago, always holding on. Forecast better ground here no problem and remains feasibly treated under a penalty, so he has to enter calculations.

Form: 804001

(7)

Somewhere Secret^v⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Paula Muir| T: R Menzies| OR: 68| D

9/1

Unreliable type. Latest win at Nottingham in June. 8/1, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (5.6f, good) 7 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Dream Together³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Zak Wheatley| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 68| BF| CD

14/1

C&D winner. 10/3, 12¼ lengths seventh of 8 to Dandy Spirit in handicap at this C&D (good) 32 days ago. Now 1 lb below last winning mark and will be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward.

Carlton And Co²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: A J Farragher| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 69

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 24 days ago. Likely to pick up a race at some point, but improvement will certainly be needed if she's to open her account in this contest.

Form: 2626

Miss Britain⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Laura Coughlan| T: G Tutty| OR: 67| D

5/1

Winner at Ripon in May. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 7/2) 43 days ago. Proving consistent and very much of interest off the same mark here.

Form: 183273

(5)

Round The Island^p⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: S Whitaker| OR: 56| CD

13/2

Unreliable individual. 6-time C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Catterick (7f, heavy) 9 days ago. Couldn't rule out, but one or two of these are more appealing all the same.

Form: 422614

(2)

Rhyme Scheme^p,t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Elisha Whittington| T: P Winks| OR: 53

150/1

150/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 17 days ago. Significantly down in trip and she's very hard to make a case for.

Form: 0-56790

(6)

Final Frontier^h³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: Jonathan Fisher| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 53| D

20/1

18/1, last of 11 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 31 days ago, slowly away. Looks set for another struggle.

Form: 0-07940

(11)

Flavius Titus^b³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Connor Murtagh| T: D Brooke| OR: 51| D

28/1

Twenty-two runs since last win in 2019. 18/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 31 days ago, slowly away. Hopes pinned on the refitted blinkers working the oracle.

Form: 40-0709

Magical Effect^v⁹^{(ex 4)}

Age: 10| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Sanderson| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 47| CD

16/5

Won 13-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy, 9/1) 9 days ago, having benefit of enterprising ride. Perhaps flattered by the margin of victory on that occasion, but this dual C&D winner is feared under a penalty nonetheless.

Form: 045351

The Retriever^v1²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 45

66/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 27 days ago. Visored for 1st time.

Form: 529849

(12)

Dirty Leeds⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Andrew Breslin| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 52

50/1

9/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 43 days ago and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 8-39080

Forecasts

Magical Effect (16/5), Miss Britain (5/1), Round The Island (13/2), Nearly A Gonna (15/2), Captain Vallo (8/1), Somewhere Secret (9/1), Lezardrieux (9/1), Carlton And Co (11/1), Dandy Spirit (11/1), Dream Together (14/1), Triggered (16/1), Final Frontier (20/1), Flavius Titus (28/1), Dirty Leeds (50/1), The Retriever (66/1), Rhyme Scheme (150/1)

Preference is for MISS BRITAIN, who hasn't done a great deal wrong this season and the form of her latest effort at Newcastle looks pretty solid in the context of this grade. Triggered will be a big threat if able to shrug off a below-par recent display at Yarmouth, while Captain Vallo also enters the reckoning on the back of a good shift at Redcar. Recent winners Lezardrieux and Magical Effect are shortlisted, too.
