Patontheback¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 64| D

4/1

Dual all weather winner for David O'Meara who confirmed himself effective on turf when runner-up on yard debut at Catterick (7f) in August. Underfoot conditions may not have been ideal either start since and interesting back at 6f.

East Street Revue^b¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62| D

22/1

Capitalised on much-reduced mark at Doncaster (6f) in July but he's failed to beat a rival all 3 starts since. Needs to bounce back with blinkers again the headgear of choice.

Macho Pride²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Haslam| OR: 61| D

4/1

Losing run is mounting up but largely not disgraced so far this year, fifth of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) 4 weeks ago, keeping on again having lost place 2f out. Lurking on a handy mark if he can put it all together.

Flying Pursuit^t⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61| CD

9/2

4-time C&D winner who doesn't look the force of old but arrives having run his best of the campaign when good third of 13 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good) 9 days ago. Not out of things with a repeat.

Form: 094553

Tilly The Filly¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 61

8/1

Maiden who hit the frame on 3 of her first 4 starts in handicaps during the spring. Not scaled same heights more recently, only fifth of 6 in handicap at Catterick (5f) on back of 9 weeks off 18 days ago. No forlorn hope eased in class.

Form: 523645

(2)

Kendred Fire^v¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 60| D

15/2

Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy) 18 days ago, no extra final 1f. Visor back on and he's another in the mix despite his losing run.

Form: 230395

Gullane One^p,t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis| T: T D Easterby| OR: 55| CD

8/1

C&D winner. 12/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to soft) 7 days ago, going off too hard. Remains on last winning mark and return to this venue another likely plus.

Form: 437737

Flavius Titus^b⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: S H James| T: D Brooke| OR: 50| D

5/1

Twenty three runs since last win in 2019. 28/1, took step firmly back in right drection when fifth of 15 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 9 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. On a very lenient mark if he can build on that.

Form: 0-07095

Luciabelle³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 45

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f, 125/1) 33 days ago, weakening over 1f out having led. Needs to find some improvement now switched to handicaps.

Form: 807

Forecasts

Macho Pride (4/1), Patontheback (4/1), Flying Pursuit (9/2), Flavius Titus (5/1), Kendred Fire (15/2), Gullane One (8/1), Tilly The Filly (8/1), East Street Revue (22/1), Luciabelle (66/1)

A decidedly trappy finale with a chance taken on KENDRED FIRE. Arriving on a losing run, he's twice run well from higher marks over this C&D in the past and, on the back of a respectable effort at Catterick 18 days ago, he can go well. Patontheback, returned to 6f, and Tilly The Filly are just a couple of others to consider.
