Profiteer¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67| D

5/4

Thriving this autumn, winning back to back over 5f at Pontefract (heavy) last month. A 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent him making a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Form: 222811

Jamie Bond⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D Nolan| T: B Smart| OR: 67| D

22/1

Fair performer. Respectable fourth of 6 in handicap (25/1) at Catterick (5f, firm) in August. Off for a further 79 days since.

Form: 6/106-04

(9)

Zaphea²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 66| CD

33/1

C&D winner in May and has also scored twice at Hamilton since. Threw her chance away at the start when last of 11 over C&D (good to soft) 23 days ago.

Form: 109850

Travel Candy^p,t⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Russell| T: B Ellison| OR: 59| D

17/2

Below-form fourth of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Redcar (6f, heavy) 9 days ago but claims on her runner-up effort over 5f there prior to that.

Form: 870824

(7)

Kyber Crystal^t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 56| CD

4/1

C&D winner in August and went in again at Hamilton in September. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (10/3) at Catterick (5f, heavy) 8 days ago. Respected.

Form: 431252

(6)

Sixcor^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 54| CD

25/1

Comfortable winner over C&D (good to soft) last month but no big surprise when he failed to back it up at Newcastle 8 days later. Not easy to predict what mood he'll turn up in.

Form: 846919

(4)

Mrs Bagerran²³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 53| BF| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Respectable 2½ lengths second of 9 to Sixcor over C&D (good to soft, 3/1) 23 days ago. Likely to give it another good go from the front.

Form: 31-3262

(3)

Royal Duke²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 50| BF| CD

6/1

Career best when winning 11-runner C&D handicap last month. Better than result when 4¼ lengths sixth of 9 to Sixcor back here since, paying the price for making a big move into contention. Worth another chance.

Form: 862316

(5)

Thunderstorm Katie⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 48

25/1

First run since leaving Brian Toomey when very good fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 9 days ago, left poorly placed. Very much the type her new yard will get wins out of.

Form: 047494

Forecasts

Profiteer (5/4), Kyber Crystal (4/1), Royal Duke (6/1), Travel Candy (17/2), Mrs Bagerran (9/1), Jamie Bond (22/1), Sixcor (25/1), Thunderstorm Katie (25/1), Zaphea (33/1)

ROYAL DUKE had an excuse when a beaten favourite here last time and is given another chance to show his mark is workable. Fellow 3-y-o Profiteer has come good this autumn and is feared most despite this being a different test to the one he's encountered at Pontefract the last twice. Thunderstorm Katie is also shortlisted after her promising first run for Jim Goldie.
