Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Rowan Scott| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 54| D

10/3

Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (1m, good to firm, 14/1) 14 days ago. More than capable at this Class 6 level if on a going day.

Gordonstoun^v¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 52| D

9/2

Very good length third of 11 to Yaahobby in C&D handicap 10 days ago. Same mark this evening. Should figure again.

Form: 0-64663

(9)

Concert Boy^v¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S H James| T: K Scott| OR: 51| CD

7/1

Has a 1-30 record but the win did come over C&D. Shaped as if still in form when 5 lengths sixth of 11 to Yaahobby here last week. Visor back on. Can make presence felt.

Form: 436446

Yaahobby^h,t¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 46| CD

10/1

Improved on recent efforts when snapping a losing run over C&D 10 days ago. Carries a 5 lb penalty. Thereabouts but his record doesn't mark him down as an obvious one to follow up.

Form: 790481

Scarfo³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 52| D

7/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in July but not in the same form down the field on last 2 outings. A bounce back is needed.

Form: 991489

Dawn Success^p1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 50

18/1

No form of worth, including well held on recent Wolverhampton handicap debut. Still early days for top stable but cheekpieces will need to spark improvement.

Form: 5-580

(3)

Elettaria^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 48| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Creditable third of 14 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm, 22/1) 16 days ago, not ideally placed.

Form: 553373

(4)

Pop Favorite¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 47| C

13/2

Five-time course winner. 18/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (1m) 10 days ago.

Form: 875074

Curious Mrs Fox¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Sean Kirrane| T: J J Davies| OR: 47

16/1

Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (10.2f, 14/1) 17 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Significantly back down in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 527365

(7)

Sacree Fleur⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 45

80/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 5 in maiden at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm, 50/1) 73 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Could only consider if backed.

Form: 0-65

Forecasts

End Zone (10/3), Gordonstoun (9/2), Elettaria (11/2), Pop Favorite (13/2), Concert Boy (7/1), Scarfo (7/1), Yaahobby (10/1), Curious Mrs Fox (16/1), Dawn Success (18/1), Sacree Fleur (80/1)

A chance is taken on END ZONE back down in a Class 6. Concert Boy wasn't seen to best effect behind Yaahobby here last week and can bounce back to form and provide the chief threat ahead of Gordonstoun.
