Al Barez^p⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 82| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Five wins from 18 Flat runs. Last of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Doncaster (6f, good) 41 days ago, met some trouble. Down to a dangerous mark and he's one to consider.

Form: 9-92640

Grant Wood¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 81| C| D

4/1

Course winner. 12/1, below form tenth of 17 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Last run in a 0-80 handicap resulted in a decisive success off a similar mark and he's 2-7 on the AW. Big player.

Form: 0-22080

Stanley Spencer³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: J Tate| OR: 80| CD

11/2

C&D winner. 6/1, below form fifth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 33 days ago. Others make more appeal for win purposes on this occasion.

Form: 12-3525

(9)

Beyond Borders¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Oliver Stammers| T: K Frost| OR: 78| D

22/1

Latest win at Yarmouth in June. 80/1, bit below form eighth of 17 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. 2-3 on the AW, but will probably find one or two too good in this contest.

Form: 080178

Gressington^b¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 78| C| D

8/1

Course winner. 10/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 17 days ago. Blinkers back on and this mark is a workable one, so he's not a forlorn hope by any means.

Monsieur Kodi³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| D

15/2

Latest win at Hamilton in July. 40/1, bit below form fourth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 33 days ago, not ideally placed. One or two of the others look stronger from a win perspective.

Form: 873104

Beauty Choice³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 74| D

40/1

50/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 36 days ago and this 8-y-o needs to bounce back in a major way.

Form: 2371-90

(7)

Jesse Luc^t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Murphy| OR: 74| CD

11/1

Three-time C&D winner. 6 wins from 14 runs this year, the latest at Chelmsford City in May. Ninth of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Newcastle (5f) 12 days ago. Back up in trip and he's opposable.

Form: 211039

(1)

Dicko The Legend¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 73| D

9/1

Latest win at York in July. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 10/1) 17 days ago. Capable of getting involved if on-song, for all that he's yet to strike off a mark this high.

Form: 745510

(3)

Glory Hyde¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Joanna Mason| T: Roger Fell| OR: 68| BF| D

5/1

Latest win at Catterick in May. Respectable third of 11 in handicap (9/4) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Firmly in the mix.

Form: 158423

Forecasts

Grant Wood (4/1), Glory Hyde (5/1), Al Barez (5/1), Stanley Spencer (11/2), Monsieur Kodi (15/2), Gressington (8/1), Dicko The Legend (9/1), Jesse Luc (11/1), Beyond Borders (22/1), Beauty Choice (40/1)

The vote goes to GRANT WOOD, who should appreciate this drop in class and the return to the all-weather will be no bad thing either (has won twice, including here, and placed three times from seven starts on artificial surfaces). Glory Hyde has been in good form of late and looks nailed-on for another bold show, while Al Barez needs a second look having slipped to an attractive mark and Dicko The Legend is also shortlisted,
