Animato¹²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 82| C| DWS

28/1

Largely held his form well last term, adding to his tally at this course (11.9f) in July. Well held at Ripon on return in May and disconcerting that he's been off a further 4 months since.

Form: 31634-8

Lexington Knight^t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 79| C

15/2

Latest win at Newcastle in July. Creditable effort next time and probably unsuited by the very testing ground at Ffos Las since, so likely to be back on his game.

Form: 212147

Lion's Mane⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁵⁾| T: T Kent| OR: 79| D

20/1

Fairly useful winner in France but possibly needed the run after 8 months off when ninth of 13 in 1m handicap at Kempton on UK/yard debut 44 days ago. Steps back up in trip now and this will reveal more.

Form: 2/3210-9

Shimmering Sands^t³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: S A Gray| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 78| CD

11/2

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap over C&D in June and right back on track when fourth4 in a more competitive event at York last time. Makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 10-3184

(4)

Molinari^p1⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: D Nolan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 77| D

18/1

Best effort this term when third of 5 in handicap at Hamilton in June but failed to back it up at Carlisle subsequently. Back from a short break with cheekpieces on for the first time.

Form: 75-8030

(3)

King Triton³¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 77

20/1

18/1, sixteenth of 19 in handicap at York (7f, good to soft) when last seen. Off 10 months. One to note in the betting on return.

Form: 34/3800-

(8)

Rogue Rocket^p⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: Tom Clover| OR: 75

22/1

Respectable efforts first 2 starts this season and, while he produced a tame showing at Windsor last time, he's been given a break since and his mark looks appealing.

Form: 460-727

(7)

Highwaygrey⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74| CD

17/2

Edged out only on the nod by a pair of much younger rivals when third of 10 in handicap at Pontefract on penultimate start. Disappointed at Chepstow since but could get back on track returned to a C&D over which he's been successful before.

Form: 385537

(10)

Come Together⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: G Lee| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 79

16/1

Fairly useful winner who wasn't disgraced on his final outing for Ralph Beckett when third in a handicap at Southwell a couple of months ago. Worth a market check on stable debut.

Form: 691-03

(5)

Leitzel¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 79

11/1

Winner of first 2 starts at Haydock last season but hasn't kicked on. Unexposed over this distance but others are more appealing.

Form: 110-075

(1)

Sealine^h³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 78

5/2

Lightly-raced colt who has been holding his form well, hooded for the first time when fourth in a maiden at Bath last time. Worth taking a chance on.

Form: 4-8564

(2)

Invisible Friend⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 69WS

6/1

Winner as a 3yo and, while she's yet to fire this term, she's still unexposed and a breathing operation might have helped.

Form: 31-40

(11)

Fantizzy¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 71

33/1

First run since leaving Tom Dascombe when last of 5 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good to soft, 20/1) 11 days ago. Had been in reasonable form for previous yard so could bounce back.

Form: 32-2645

Forecasts

Sealine (5/2), Shimmering Sands (11/2), Invisible Friend (6/1), Lexington Knight (15/2), Highwaygrey (17/2), Leitzel (11/1), Come Together (16/1), Molinari (18/1), King Triton (20/1), Lion's Mane (20/1), Rogue Rocket (22/1), Animato (28/1), Fantizzy (33/1)

SEALINE hasn't had much racing and looks a potential improver back up in trip for his handicap debut, so he's worth chancing. Lexington Knight should be back on his game away from heavy ground and Come Together is an interesting one starting out for a new yard.
