Bayraat²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Garritty| T: T P Tate| OR: 67

9/2

Limited impact in bumpers but more like on the AW in recent months, second of 4 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) 25 days ago. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 242

Captain Vallo^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 66| D

3/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 4/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 21 days ago. That was disappointing bur he lurks on a dangerous mark if back on his game.

Form: 038308

Coaxing²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: T D Barron| OR: 63

16/1

Winner at Catterick in May. 33/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, soft) 22 days ago. Better expected back over 6f with that under his belt.

Form: 7-51635

Wee Fat Mac¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: I Jardine| OR: 63| D

3/1

Two wins from 6 runs this year. 11/8, didn't need to improve to follow up in 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago. Up 7 lb but unexposed and clearly going the right way.

Form: 985011

Social Contact²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62| C

33/1

Course winner. 25/1, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Struggling to see her race out and now back on the AW.

Form: 965350

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁵⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 61| BF| D

14/1

Latest win at Catterick in September. 5/2, good second of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy) 7 days ago. Big player if as effective on the AW.

Form: 645102

Griggy^b¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 60| D

11/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap (5/1) at Kempton (6f) 13 days ago, keeping on well. First run for yard after leaving John Butler. Has to be taken seriously given he retains handicap scope.

Form: 021121

Variety Island^b1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: S Whitaker| OR: 57| D

11/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Below form seventh of 14 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (6f) 14 days ago. Blinkers on first time. Others more persuasive.

Barney Too⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: George Rooke| T: P D Evans| OR: 45

Forecasts

Captain Vallo (3/1), Wee Fat Mac (3/1), Bayraat (9/2), Hilary's Boy (6/1), Variety Island (11/1), Griggy (11/1), Jackmeister Rudi (14/1), Coaxing (16/1), Social Contact (33/1), Barney Too (50/1)

Having tumbled in the weights, GRIGGY ended his time with John Butler back on the up with a trio of wins and it would come as no surprise were he to continue the good work here. Wee Fat Mac chases a hat-trick and is second choice, with Bayraat another to consider.
