Maywake²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 93| D

5/1

Most consistent this year, including 7f wins at Thirsk (heavy) and Sandown (good to soft). Found out off this mark in the Challenge Cup last time, though.

Form: 241510

Racingbreaks Ryder²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: R Kingscote| T: C Hills| OR: 93| D

9/2

Completed a four-timer at Ascot (7f) in May. Out of sorts in stronger company since but this does at least represent a drop in grade.

Form: 110006

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Keatley| OR: 91| BF| D

4/1

Proved better than ever when landing 25-runner Ayr Silver Cup in September. Disappointing in Coral Sprint Trophy at York last time but good chance if bouncing back in these calmer waters.

Form: 6U2310

(4)

Autumn Festival^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 89| D

10/1

Got off the mark for the season at Beverley in September before finding only one too good under a penalty at Ayr. However, came home last of 12 in handicap at York (7.9f, heavy) 15 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 307120

Scottish Summit³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-8| J: S H James| T: G A Harker| OR: 89| D

16/1

Likeable veteran who resumed winning ways at Thirsk (7f) in May and bounced back to form after a couple of lesser efforts when sixth in 17-runner handicap at York (7f) 35 days ago.

Form: 313676

(2)

Zip^v³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 87| CD

6/1

C&D winner who shaped as if still in good form when seventh of 17 in handicap (20/1) at York (7f, soft) 35 days ago. On a good mark and one to bear in mind.

Form: 026987

(5)

Able Kane^v¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: B R Millman| OR: 87| CD

14/1

Course winner who wasted no time getting back to form when third of 7 in 7f handicap at Leicester (heavy) 11 days ago. Obvious player off same mark.

Form: 142703

(1)

Oso Rapido⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 85| D

14/1

Proved better than ever when winning 5-runner handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy, 3/1) last week, always holding on. Nudged up 3 lb and should remain competitive under similar conditions.

Form: 1526D1

(7)

Be Proud^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 82| C

12/1

Recorded back-to-back wins here in the summer and, after a couple of lesser efforts, looked as good as ever when scoring at Ayr (6f, heavy) 16 days ago. Back up in the weights but could go well again returned to this venue.

Form: 126001

(9)

Danzan^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78| D

12/1

Capitalised on the drop in grade in fine style at Thirsk in June and was placed twice there late summer. Last 3 efforts short of best, though.

Form: 823066

Forecasts

Wobwobwob (4/1), Racingbreaks Ryder (9/2), Maywake (5/1), Zip (6/1), Autumn Festival (10/1), Danzan (12/1), Be Proud (12/1), Oso Rapido (14/1), Able Kane (14/1), Scottish Summit (16/1)

ABLE KANE quickly got back on track when third at Leicester 11 days ago and a reproduction of that form could see him notch a second win of the season. Zip shaped well on his most recent outing at York and is one to bear in mind having slipped below his last winning mark, while Wobwobwob can have a big say too if returning to his Ayr Silver Cup form.
