Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 97

20/1

Winning Irish pointer who left his hurdles debut form well behind when taking a match race at Carlisle in December. Off since and opening mark asks for more, though he is in good hands.

Form: 4/11191-

Military Tycoon^p¹⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 92

17/2

Fairly useful Flat winner who has shown a bit in maiden hurdles for this yard this year and has the potential to do better now handicapping.

Form: 974-

African Lady^b,t1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Gearoid Harney⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 86

18/1

Fitted with headgear and low-key start in handicaps for current yard. Tongue tie added.

Form: 5648P0

Crystal Glance¹⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 85

3/1

Showed plenty to work on when third at Hereford on debut and confirmed that promise when scoring in maiden at Bangor (16.7f, good) in May. Open to further improvement as she goes handicapping so she's a major player.

Form: 3-1

Northern Rose^t⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 85

15/2

4-y-o filly who finished runner-up twice at Stratford this summer. Off 6 weeks and effort at Bangor since was a little underwhelming.

Form: 3-39227

Saint Vic^h1⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: James Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: A Day| OR: 80

20/1

Not really threatened in 6 starts in this sphere, including from a modest mark in handicap company. Hood on.

Form: 57-4497

El Vigaro^t1²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 79

9/2

Best effort so far when fifth of 11 on his handicap debut at Stratford. Off 5 months after never looked like justifying support fitted with a tongue tie 3 weeks ago.

Form: 6408-59

George Mallory^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: James Bowen| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 78| CD

7/2

C&D winner who gave another reasonable account of himself when third here a month ago. Cheekpieces on first time over jumps and others more persuasive.

Form: 421-033

Gwennie May Jem¹¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: C J Todd| T: D Skelton| OR: 77

7/1

In a top yard but little promise in a bumper/ 3 starts over hurdles so far. ALlotted a basement mark so a market check is vital.

Form: 0-774

Forecasts

Crystal Glance (3/1), George Mallory (7/2), El Vigaro (9/2), Gwennie May Jem (7/1), Northern Rose (15/2), Military Tycoon (17/2), African Lady (18/1), Saint Vic (20/1), Ivegotdapower (20/1)

It wasn't a deep race that CRYSTAL GLANCE won at Bangor during the spring but the assessor has by no means gone overboard and, very much the type to go improving, this well-bred filly makes plenty of appeal. She isn't the only runner in here with potential though as Gwennie May Jem and Military Tycoon and surely open to progress.
