Chichester²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: D Tudhope| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 93| D

22/1

Back to winning ways at Ayr (10f) this time last year and returned with a good third at listed level at Kempton (10f) in March. Mixed bag faced with some fairly stern assignments since but the handicapper has been cutting him some slack at least. Visor off.

Ziggy¹⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 92| D

4/1

Low-mileage 4-y-o who looked better than ever when defying a 10 lb lower mark with plenty to spare on return at Haydock (10.2f) in May (Vulcan second). Forecast easy ground a plus and he may yet have more to offer.

Form: 21426-1

Yorkshire Lady²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 89| D

8/1

Progressed well as a 3-y-o and stepped up on opening exploits this year when holding Mr Alan by a nose over this trip at Ayr's Western Meeting 23 days ago. 3 lb higher now but she's a likeable filly and could well pull out a little more. Respected.

Form: 115-041

Vulcan³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Hector Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 89| D

9/1

Dual winner for Harry Dunlop during 2020. Lightly raced since but confirmed himself back in top form for new yard when scoring at Newcastle (10f) in June. Hasn't been disgraced either start since and he appeals as still being on a handy mark.

Form: 4/82155

(18)

Myristica^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 88| D

50/1

Landed back-to-back handicaps at Ripon/Beverley in June but the assessor has essentially looked in control since.

Fishable^p,t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| D

10/1

Winless this campaign and whilst he bounced back to form when finishing 1½ lengths third of 14 to Yorkshire Lady at Ayr (10f) 23 days ago. However, no sure thing to be in same form now.

Form: 424703

(9)

Faylaq¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 85

12/1

Losing run stretches back to 2019 but he again ran well when third of 10 over 9f at Hamilton 12 days ago, going well when short of room under 2f out and never nearer. Has fallen plenty in weights but overall strike rate tempers enthusiasm.

Form: 664453

Geremia¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 85

11/1

Yet to strike on turf but deserves to do so judged on several creditable efforts in course handicaps at up to 16.2f this year. Not disgraced when midfield in last month's Cambridgeshire (9f) keeping on from 2f out but needs to keep the slow starting at bay here.

Form: 293260

(1)

Lattam²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 89| BF

13/2

Lope De Vega gelding who landed first 2 starts in novice company at up to 1m in July, latterly with plenty in hand at Haydock. Could only run to a similar level when fifth on handicap bow at Yarmouth (9f) since but highly likely there's still more to come.

Form: 115

(4)

Jean Baptiste^p⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: S H James| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 85| D

33/1

Off the mark for the season at Chester (10.3f) in June and had little trouble in following up at Hamilton (9f) a month later. Largely run with credit subsequently but he's yet to defy a mark this high.

Form: 136406

(12)

Diamond Ranger²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: G Boughey| OR: 89

25/1

Made a bright start to career earlier this term, defying a penalty to make it 2 wins from 3 starts in novice company at Wolverhampton (7f) in June. Not disgraced on back of 12 weeks off on handicap bow at Newbury (7f) 3 weeks ago and possible he'll sharpen up here. Up markedly in trip.

Form: 1219

(2)

Titian⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 83| DWS

33/1

Useful for William Haggas last term but didn't take to hurdling in trio of starts for David Pipe. Better for return/yard debut when fourth at Kempton (12f) in August and he's still unexposed at this sort of trip if he can build on that following a wind op.

Form: 13/21-54

(15)

Eeetee²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Mark Winn⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 82| CD

12/1

Opened account in amateur riders' event at Redcar (10f) in August and career best when following up in a C&D handicap next time, Never figured in hat-trick bid at Newcastle (10f) 23 days ago but his mark demands more in any case.

Form: 293110

(11)

No Nay Nicki³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85| BF

10/1

Fairly useful performer who arrives in form having made the frame on each of his last 3 starts, latterly when running on late over 1m at Thirsk 5 weeks ago. This is a tougher ask but she's unexposed at 1¼m.

Form: 470223

(7)

Mustazeed¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Dylan Hogan| T: C F Wall| OR: 77| BF| D

7/1

Struck from 6 lb lower mark at Doncaster (10.2f, soft) last autumn and sharper for Newbury return (very slow away) when second at Yarmouth (10f) 2 weeks ago, running on having conceded first run. Remains relatively low-mileage and worth a second look.

Form: 2451-02

(6)

Jewel Maker¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76| D

80/1

Well served by strong pace when coming fast and late to add to his tally at Haydock (10.2f) in August. Made frame from revised mark next 2 starts but he does need to shrug off a lesser effort at Ayr (10f) late last month.

Forecasts

Ziggy (4/1), Lattam (13/2), Mustazeed (7/1), Yorkshire Lady (8/1), Vulcan (9/1), Fishable (10/1), No Nay Nicki (10/1), First Impression (10/1), Geremia (11/1), Faylaq (12/1), Eeetee (12/1), Highwaygrey (16/1), Chichester (22/1), Diamond Ranger (25/1), Titian (33/1), Jean Baptiste (33/1), Schmilsson (33/1), Perseverants (33/1), Myristica (50/1), Jewel Maker (80/1)

Progressive as a 3-y-o, YORKSHIRE LADY took her form up a notch on her third start back this year when scoring at Ayr's Western Meeting 23 days ago and in a wide-open affair, she may well be up to defying a 3 lb higher mark. Ziggy, an impressive winner when last seen at Haydock in the spring returns with his yard in good form and can feature. Low-mileage Lattam, First Impression and Mustazeed complete the shortlist, whilst Diamond Ranger is also worth keeping an eye on up in trip.
