Age: 10| Weight: 9-11| J: T Eaves| T: T P Tate| OR: 79| D

50/1

Veteran who has wasn't beaten far in 2 of his last 3 starts but likely to find this too competitive.

Form: 3-80253

Abate³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Mia Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 79| CD

28/1

Mixed record this season and needs to shrug off a couple of poor efforts.

Modern Times^t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 80| BF

14/1

Unexposed maiden. Better effort for this yard when second of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good, 3/1) 23 days ago but drop in trip looks a negative.

Form: 42-4662

(14)

Dickieburd²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 78| BF| D

16/1

Went close at Epsom in July and in better form than recent form figures suggest. Not one to write off back on a winning mark.

Form: 252574

It Just Takes Time¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: J Garritty| T: M Walford| OR: 78| C| D

12/1

Losing run is mounting up but he bounced back to form off reduced mark when ½-length second of 11 to Wreck It Ryley in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 12 days ago and potentially well treated if building on that.

Form: 009072

(19)

Dance And Romance⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 80| BF| D

9/4

Lightly-raced filly who added to her Southwell debut success when making a winning handicap debut at Nottingham (6f, good) on penultimate start. Close third in better race than this at Goodwood since and she's a must for the shortlist.

Form: 1213

Maxi Boy^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: S A Gray| T: Fionn McSharry| OR: 77| D

40/1

Built on an encouraging stable debut when second of 18 in C&D handicap. Possible excuses next 2 starts so not impossible.

Form: 79-5200

(7)

Northern Spirit^p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 77| D

17/2

Arrives at the top of his game and resumed winning ways by the narrowest of margins at Southwell 10 days ago. 6 lb rise leaves him vulnerable, however.

Form: 493721

Flying Fletcher²⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78| D

28/1

Muhaarar colt who showed improved form to win in convincing fashion at Newcastle in December. That form has worked out well but has been off the track since. Market should guide.

Form: 039651-

Reigning Profit^v¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 76

40/1

Well backed when winning 5-runner handicap at Hamilton but back in the doldrums next 2 starts.

Form: 240167

Roundhay Park²²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 76| CD

14/1

Veteran who has posted some decent efforts in defeat this season, including when fourth of 16 in Silver Trophy (9/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Respected off same mark.

Form: 204964

(9)

Late Arrival¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 75| D

33/1

Wasted no time getting back to form when winning for the third time this season in 10-runner handicap at Southwell 2 weeks ago but opposable up 6 lb in better race.

Form: 621471

(22)

Minnesota Lad²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| D

25/1

Ended a long losing sequence with success in 9-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) but down the field off revised mark both starts since.

Form: 394100

(20)

Wreck It Ryley^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Swift| T: A D Brown| OR: 73| D

12/1

Gained just reward for several near misses when winning 11-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 6/1) 12 days ago by ½ length from It Just Takes Time. Hat a bit in hand that day so she's respected up 5 lb.

Form: 237231

Evocative Spark^h³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 73

9/1

Proving expensive to follow but trip was too far at Chester 5 weeks ago. Has joined an in-form yard and return to sprinting may help (free-going sort). Hood back on.

Form: 232240

Travis^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: G A Harker| OR: 74| D

22/1

Winner at Pontefract in June. Decent start for this yard when fourth of 11 in handicap back at Pontefract (6f, good) but not in same form at Carlisle since.

Form: 212845

(2)

Project Dante^b1¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: G R Oldroyd| OR: 72| C

28/1

Useful in his prime but down the field in handicaps all 4 starts this season after a long absence.

Form: 00/0960

Fantasy Master^p⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: D Egan| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 72| D

14/1

Has dipped below his last winning mark and was third in a better race than this at Newmarket 8 weeks ago. Shouldn't be far away.

Forecasts

Dance And Romance (9/4), Huddle Up (15/2), Muscika (8/1), Northern Spirit (17/2), Evocative Spark (9/1), Lil Guff (10/1), It Just Takes Time (12/1), Wreck It Ryley (12/1), Fantasy Master (14/1), Roundhay Park (14/1), Modern Times (14/1), The Caltonian (14/1), Dickieburd (16/1), Travis (22/1), Minnesota Lad (25/1), Abate (28/1), Flying Fletcher (28/1), Project Dante (28/1), Late Arrival (33/1), Reigning Profit (40/1), Maxi Boy (40/1), Equiano Springs (50/1)

Highly competitive but unexposed 3-y-o DANCE AND ROMANCE finished third in a better race than this at Glorious Goodwood so she could be the answer. Fantasy Master and Huddle up are threatening to come good soon so they head the dangers.
