Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: O J Orr| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 74| D

16/1

18/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good) 52 days ago, though that run can be excused given she was bumped at the start. Makes tapeta debut. Has good chance on pick of form eased in class.

Form: 1-52760

Dark Kestrel^t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 72| D

10/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. 16/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 18 days ago. This track probably more suitable.

A Girl Named Ivy³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Dods| OR: 71

18/1

Two wins from 5 runs this year, latterly at Pontefract in August. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Hamilton (6f, good) 35 days ago. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 9-10104

Water Of Leith³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 70| C| D

5/1

Course winner. Didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 11/4) 39 days ago. 4 lb ruse asks for more but he's clearly in good order.

Form: 541931

Nelson Gay⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: M Dods| OR: 69| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 58 days ago, though a wide draw didn't help his cause. One to consider for all usual cheekpieces are left off.

Form: 305526

Dandy Dinmont²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 68| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in July. 14/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 23 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Well-run 5f looks up his street.

Form: 146686

Castan³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: B Smart| OR: 66| CD

4/1

C&D winner. 33/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good) 33 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 780500

Herakles²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Mark Winn| T: P T Midgley| OR: 65| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Ripon in June. 9/2, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 25 days ago.

Form: 166965

Cool Run^b1¹⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 62WS

40/1

28/1 and hooded for first time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good). Off 103 days and blinkers now the headgear of choice on the back of a breathing operation.

Form: 22-5066

Forecasts

Dandy Dinmont (10/3), Castan (4/1), Herakles (5/1), Water Of Leith (5/1), Nelson Gay (8/1), Dark Kestrel (10/1), Brian The Snail (14/1), Love Wars (16/1), A Girl Named Ivy (18/1), Cool Run (40/1)

A stiff 5f looks just the ticket for DANDY DINMONT so he's worth risking at likely rewarding odds. Love Wars eases in class so he's dangerous, with last-time-out winner Water of Leith likely to give it another good go.
