Showtime Mahomes²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 69| D

12/1

Latest win at Musselburgh in August. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 28 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good once again.

Form: 640154

Mister Sox^p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Latest win over 7f here in May. Below form fifth of 9 in handicap (9/4) at this C&D (heavy) 10 days ago. Perhaps a shade too high in the weights for now.

Form: 124425

Homer Stokes²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 66| CD

4/1

Three-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap (10/1) at this C&D (soft) 27 days ago, holding on gamely. Nudged up just 2 lb and should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick.

Form: 441511

Catton Lady²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 68

7/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to soft) 24 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak.

Form: 323935

Sir Garfield^b²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 67| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good, 16/5) 28 days ago, well positioned. Up a fair 2 lb and should again have a part to play.

Form: 222821

Beltane¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford| OR: 61

16/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. 4/1 and visored for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 10 days ago. Down another 1 lb and this 5-y-o, who was a good third to Homer Stokes here on his penultimate start, is one to consider.

Form: 702035

(9)

Langholm^p,t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Garritty| T: M Dods| OR: 61| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Thirsk in July. 18/1, 6¼ lengths seventh of 11 to Homer Stokes in handicap at this C&D (soft) 27 days ago. Not without each-way hope

Form: 219657

Treasure Storm¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 61

40/1

Below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7f, soft, 20/1) 11 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 637734

(11)

Desert Dream^t¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 59| CD

15/2

Three wins from 14 runs this year. 18/1, respectable second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 10 days ago, no match for winner. Place possibilities at least off the same mark.

Form: 531132

(8)

Rwenearlytheredad¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 55| BF| D

13/2

15/8, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 19 days ago. Deserves to get his head back in front and likely to be in the mix here.

Form: 783423

(10)

Dandy Lichious^p,t⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁵⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 55| D

150/1

66/1, last of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm) 84 days ago, lost all chance at start. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 197770

Forecasts

Catton Lady (7/2), Homer Stokes (4/1), Mister Sox (9/2), Rwenearlytheredad (13/2), Sir Garfield (13/2), Desert Dream (15/2), Showtime Mahomes (12/1), Beltane (16/1), Langholm (33/1), Treasure Storm (40/1), Dandy Lichious (150/1)

It's been a while since BELTANE last got his head in front but he's fallen a long way down the weights as a consequence (now 16 lb below last winning mark) and has a fighting chance of reversing C&D placings with Homer Stokes on these revised terms, having finished 1¾ lengths behind that rival on his penultimate start. Homer Stokes is bidding for the hat-trick and, armed with a willing attitude, he can be expected to give it a good shot. Rwenearlytheredad and Sir Garfield are others to consider.
