Mersea⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 73| CD

13/2

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this course (5.8f, good to firm, 13/2) 9 days ago. Likely to give it a good shot under a penalty but this is more demanding.

Form: 93-0451

(2)

Sound Reason^b¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 76| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Latest win at Beverley in July. 11/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. 1 lb lower now and he makes each-way appeal back at the minimum trip.

Form: 762104

Papa Don't Preach²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: C Lee| T: K Frost| OR: 75| D

12/1

Seventh of 9 in handicap at Haydock (5f, heavy, 20/1) 26 days ago, left poorly placed. Easy enough to look elsewhere in search of the probable winner.

Form: 625707

Show Me Show Me^v¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74| D

6/1

10/1, won 13-runner handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Remains on a good mark up 4 lb and another bold show could be on the way.

Form: 098611

Ramon Di Loria²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 73| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (5f, heavy, 15/2) 26 days ago. Back down to last winning mark and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 620744

(8)

Borough¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 73| BF| D

9/1

Latest win at Hamilton in August. 7/2, respectable second of 8 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good) 11 days ago. Likely to be on the premises once more.

Form: 461212

(9)

Refuge^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 72| D

40/1

Latest win at Haydock in July. 4½ lengths third of 4 to Borough in handicap (6/1) at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Probably a shade too high in the weights for now.

Form: 132193

(5)

Thornaby Pearl^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Barry McHugh| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 71| BF

7/1

Latest win at Ripon in July. Bit below form ninth of 17 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good, 6/1) 13 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Shaped better than the distance beaten there and not discounted with cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 27-6159

(7)

Jordan Electrics¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 71| D

9/1

Latest win at Hamilton in May. 20/1, last of 17 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 13 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 100060

(6)

The Dunkirk Lads¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| C| D

16/1

Course winner. Latest win at Beverley in April. Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 15 days ago, never nearer. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 130487

(10)

Lord Abama^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 67

12/1

Seventh of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good, 6/1) 12 days ago. Would have a fighting chance if back to his best but others make more appeal based on recent evidence.

Form: 223867

Forecasts

Sound Reason (9/2), Ramon Di Loria (5/1), Show Me Show Me (6/1), Mersea (13/2), Thornaby Pearl (7/1), Jordan Electrics (9/1), Borough (9/1), Papa Don't Preach (12/1), Lord Abama (12/1), The Dunkirk Lads (16/1), Refuge (40/1)

The fitting of a visor has clearly given SHOW ME SHOW ME a new lease of life and he is taken to complete the hat-trick. The 6-y-o arrived late on the scene when scoring at Windsor recently and should again get a strong pace to aim at. C&D winners Sound Reason and Ramon Di Loria are feared most in that order of preference, while cases can also be made for The Dunkirk Lads and Thornaby Pearl.
