5/2

5/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 19 days ago, responding well. Only nudged up 1 lb. Has to enter calculations.

11/1

C&D winner in July. 10/1, shaped better than the result when sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 10 days ago, not knocked about. Cheekpieces on first time. Has to be taken seriously.

Micks Dream²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 74

9/2

16/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Ought to be competitive.

Form: 6-21204

(6)

Intercessor^b²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Gallagher| OR: 74| D

10/1

Third win since July when taking 10-runner handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 8/1) 26 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Strongbowe, always holding on. Put up 5 lb but can't dismiss in current mood.

Form: 512151

Guess^b1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 76

9/2

Winner at Kempton in April. Creditable third of 19 in handicap at York (7f, good to soft, 7/1) 17 days ago. Blinkers on first time. Likely to stay 1m. Much as respected as an unexposed sort.

Forecasts

Harswell Duke (5/2), Guess (9/2), Micks Dream (9/2), Maysong (15/2), Scotch Mistress (17/2), Intercessor (10/1), Hathlool (11/1), Legendary Day (12/1), Hartswood (14/1), Strongbowe (16/1)

GUESS ran a cracker in a big field over 7f at York earlier in the month and leaves the impression 1m could suit so he's the suggestion up against largely much more exposed opposition. Hathlool returns to the scene of his win in the summer and may give Ralph Beckett's charge most to think about ahead of Nottingham-scorer Harswell Duke.
