Highland Olly¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr E Cagney| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 65| CD

13/8

Doubled career tally at Nottingham in May having won a C&D contest last summer. Sixth of 11 in a handicap at Doncaster (10/1) 15 days ago, typically taking a strong hold and not quickening late. Tends to race keenly but big player back at this track.

Coconut Bay¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Amy Milburn⁽⁷⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 64| D

8/1

In good form this summer with three wins from last five starts including Catterick victories in June and July. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (5/1) 16 days ago, easing ground conditions perhaps against her.

Carolus Magnus²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 63| D

5/1

Without a win in 22 runs, finishing sixth of 10 in 7f handicap at Beverley (6/1) 24 days ago on return from best part of a year ago. Very well handicapped if building on that effort.

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Rebecca Hitchen⁽⁵⁾| T: S England| OR: 58| D

11/2

Showed promise on AW at Newcastle earlier this year with a second and third-place finish. Back on turf and best effort for some time when landing 9-runner handicap at Redcar (5/1) over 1m 9 days ago, settling better and quickening to lead in the final furlong. Big player under a penalty.

Form: 1-27531

13/2

Third in 6f handicap at Catterick in May but well held when eighth of 9 in 7f handicap at Doncaster (10/1) 20 days ago. Returns to C&D where previously successful and mark is a handy one.

Tommy's Promise¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Louis Burke⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 49| BF

10/1

Performed well in handicaps with a brace of placed efforts but big backward step at Lingfield 3 weeks ago, shaping as though amiss.

Form: 69/3320

Superior Council^b,t⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Hannah Crawford⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 49

8/1

Hamilton winner on second start for this yard and gave another good account of himself when third of 7 in handicap at this C&D (10/3) 7 days ago. Repeat of that sees him in the mix.

Forecasts

Highland Olly (13/8), Carolus Magnus (5/1), Sandret (11/2), Patontheback (13/2), Superior Council (8/1), Coconut Bay (8/1), Tommy's Promise (10/1)

HIGHLAND OLLY has previous C&D success to his name and should be well suited by returning to this track after racing keenly at Doncaster. He looks a value alternative to Sandret, who comes here on the back of a decisive victory at Redcar 9 days ago. Coconut Bay has already had a productive summer and drying ground is up her street.
