First Greyed^v¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 64| D

5/1

Latest win at Beverley in August. Bit below form sixth of 15 in handicap (7/1) at Thirsk (7f, soft) 15 days ago, left poorly placed. Best not judged on latest effort and had been in good order previously.

33/1

33/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago. Something to prove at the moment.

Form: 3011-78

20/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 13/8, last of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f). Off 147 days. Back down in trip. Seemed to have gone off the boil but break may have helped.

80/1

Eleventh of 12 in handicap (100/1) at this course (8f, good) 78 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 348-590

(7)

Global Humor^b¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 58| CD

7/1

Unreliable individual. 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Looked unlucky when fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 18/1) 12 days ago, finishing well after not clear run. Makes appeal despite his quirks.

Form: 165504

5/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 10/3, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, soft) 20 days ago. Deserves respect.

Zebra Star^h¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mathers| T: R M Smith| OR: 55| D

18/1

18/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Appears to have lost her form for the time being.

Form: 838469

Genevieve^v⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45

22/1

Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft, 18/1) 8 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Darbucks (5/2), Alpine Sierra (11/4), First Greyed (5/1), Monhammer (6/1), Global Humor (7/1), Purple Martini (15/2), Debater (12/1), Zebra Star (18/1), Pallas Lord (20/1), Genevieve (22/1), Gordonstoun (33/1), Flash Bulb (80/1)

ALPINE SIERRA has become well treated and his last two runs have indicated that he's back in reasonable form, so he's worth chancing in an open-looking race. Global Humor is a danger having shaped well over C&D last time and Darbucks is likely to be involved again.
