Young Endless^b²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Sanderson| T: K Frost| OR: 59| D

Won a 16.5f AW handicap at Wolverhampton (12/1) 54 days ago but ran poorly when 12th of 14 at Southwell (12/1) 27 days ago. Seems better suited to AW surfaces.

Form: 234160

Spectacular Style^t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: L Morris| T: Ian Williams| OR: 58| BF

Has run creditably all 3 starts for current yard, latterly when fourth of 6 in first-time tongue strap at Leicester (6/4) 10 days ago. May appreciate this step up in trip after plugging on late last time.

Form: 995224

Steps In Time¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Ben Robinson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 57

Has badly lost his way this year, finishing last of 9 in handicap at Ayr (20/1) 19 days ago and now tries 14f.

Form: 827U59

Wadacre Giorgio⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Oliver Stammers| T: C Johnston| OR: 52

Has got back on track since stepping up in trip, with two runner-up finishes in recent handicaps, including in 6-runner event at Musselburgh (9/2) 8 days ago. Looks sure to make a bold bid over this still longer trip.

Form: 5-88822

Billy Bathgate⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 51| CD

Course and distance winner in June who finished third of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (11/2) 8 days ago when held up and never landing a blow. Could go well back at this venue.

Form: 134193

Arie Gordye^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: Roger Fell| OR: 55

Returned to form back on turf on first outing since leaving Adrian Nicholls when 2nd of 9 at Beverley (10/3) 11 days ago, staying on well. Cheekpieces back on today and thereabouts with a repeat.

Form: 9-56462

Curious Mrs Fox⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Russell| T: D Thompson| OR: 45

Maiden after 22 starts who was seventh of 12 at Newcastle (66/1) 8 days ago. Unlikely to be suited by return to 14f.

Form: 969897

Spectacular Style (2/1), Arie Gordye (3/1), Wadacre Giorgio (4/1), Billy Bathgate (5/1), Steps In Time (12/1), Young Endless (12/1), Curious Mrs Fox (25/1)

WADACRE GIORGIO has got firmly back on track since stepping up in trip, with consecutive runner-up efforts suggesting he's ready to go one better here. Spectacular Style ran creditably at Leicester despite missing the break and should appreciate this step up. Arie Gordye returned to form when second at Beverley and has previous course experience.
