Abduction^v¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 81| CD

5/1

Yet to get his head in front this term but goes well here (3-time C&D winner) and has run respectably the last twice. Visor back on. Warrants respect.

Form: 397037

Mereside Diva¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: T D Barron| OR: 80| D

7/1

Improved for step up to 7f this season, winning handicaps at Haydock and Thirsk, but he's been below form more recently and has something to prove at present.

Form: 121797

(5)

Desert Falcon¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 79| D

4/1

Dual winner for Sir Mark Prescott last year who got on the scoreboard for current yard when taking 11-runner handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago. 4 lb rise fair and should go well again.

Form: 5-09461

Abruzzo Mia³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 78| D

14/1

Back to winning ways at Thirsk over this trip in July and wasn't disgraced in follow-up bid at Carlisle last month. Others look better treated, though.

Form: 073619

(6)

Modern Times^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 80

16/1

Ran poorly over shorter trip at York latest but had posted his best effort for this yard when second of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (7f) previously and is not out of things.

Form: 2-46620

(4)

Chuzzlewit^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 74| CD

20/1

C&D winner in 2022 and back on scoreboard at Newcastle in March. Not much to write home about more recently, though, and others hold stronger claims. Cheekpieces back on.

Vince Le Prince^p,t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73| D

9/1

Dual winner (both 7f) earlier this term who found further improvement when 1½ lengths third of 11 to Desert Falcon in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Likely contender.

Cloudy Skye¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76

8/1

Found improvement when getting off the mark at Pontefract (8f) in July and ran to similar level when creditable third of 10 at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 454613

Detective^b¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Murtagh| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 70| D

50/1

Ended long losing run at Carlisle (6.9f) last month but not been in same form either start since and makes limited appeal.

Form: 865199

(3)

Starliner¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 71| D

33/1

Won a maiden in Ireland last year but yet to make an impact in 4 starts for current connections.

Form: 540790

(8)

Pals Battalion¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 68

5/1

Back to somewhere near best form when second of 12 in handicap at Leicester (6f, soft) 11 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and could be dangerous if staying this longer trip.

Form: 442542

(11)

Alpine Sierra^h¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 64| BF| CD

11/1

Now 2 lb below his C&D winnIng mark from last October but has yet to score this term and arrives on back of disappointing run at Carlisle 10 days ago.

Form: 442406

Forecasts

Desert Falcon (4/1), Pals Battalion (5/1), Abduction (5/1), Mereside Diva (7/1), Cloudy Skye (8/1), Vince Le Prince (9/1), Alpine Sierra (11/1), Abruzzo Mia (14/1), Modern Times (16/1), Chuzzlewit (20/1), Starliner (33/1), Detective (50/1)

Preference is for DESERT FALCON, who registered his first victory for Julie Camacho at Thirsk a fortnight ago and remains fairly treated on old form. Vince Le Prince and Abduction head the list of dangers.
