Ninth Life¹⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 75| D

9/1

AW winner in March 2023 but drew a blank in 4 outings in the first half of 2025. Returns from a 100-day break under the care of a new yard. The betting should guide.

Form: 61-4364

Lechuga Lad^h,t⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 72| D

15/2

16/1 and tongue strap on first time, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Haydock (1¼m, good to firm) 51 days ago, well on top finish. A 7 lb rise may not stop him.

Form: 395301

Hosanna Power¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| D

11/4

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 16/1, respectable sixth of 14 over C&D 18 days ago. Takes a drop in grade here and merits consideration.

Whiskey Pete²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 71

15/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023 but easily best run for new yard when second of 8 in handicap (22/1) at Doncaster (1¼m, firm) 23 days ago. Well treated if he can build on that.

Izzari³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 70| C

5/2

Course winner. Latest win at Musselburgh in April. 15/2, tenth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (1¼m, good to firm) 30 days ago. Bounce back needed.

Form: 183830

Mister Daydream^b1³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 70| D

11/1

Latest win at Hamilton in May. 12/1 and visored first time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Chester (1¼m, firm) 36 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Blinkers tried now. Needs to leave recent efforts behind.

Form: 168767

Golspie^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: D Nolan| T: P Morris| OR: 68| D

5/1

Latest win at Pontefract (1¼m) in June. Ninth of 14 over C&D 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Something to find on form.

Percy Willis^p¹⁷⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: P J McDonald| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 65| C

40/1

Course winner. Reached the frame a few times earlier in the year but off since finishing well held at Wolverhampton in March (reportedly bled).

Form: 384347

Forecasts

Izzari (5/2), Hosanna Power (11/4), Golspie (5/1), Whiskey Pete (15/2), Lechuga Lad (15/2), Ninth Life (9/1), Mister Daydream (11/1), Percy Willis (40/1)

The manner in which LECHUGA LAD won at Haydock last time suggests he may be capable of better again and he's taken to defy the handicapper. Hosanna Power drops to a Class 5 handicap for the first time here and might provide the chief threat ahead of Whiskey Pete, who ran easily his best race since joining Nigel Tinkler when second at Doncaster last time.
