11/1

12/1

Form mixed since Leicester win in June, finishing sixth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (15/2) 28 days ago when weakening final furlong after being prominent. Has previous course and distance success and is slowly coming back down the weights.

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 74| D

14/1

In and out form since winning at Musselburgh in April, finished 8th of 14 in handicap at Haydock (12/1) 16 days ago, racing in rear and never threatening. Feasibly treated if he gets a good gallop to aim at but will need luck in running.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 73| CD

6/1

Course winner has won twice and finished second twice from last four starts, most recently when second of 5 in 5f handicap at Pontefract (6/1) in June, beaten by a subsequent winner. Goes well fresh and Tom Marquand a positive jockey booking.

Form: 44-1212

Sevensees¹⁶

12/1

Course winner with some creditable recent form in 5f handicaps but ran one of lesser races when 11th of 14 at Haydock (12/1) 16 days ago. Others look more solid.

9/2

Won over C&D in November and ran well when second at Beverley last month. Well backed but couldn't follow that up, typically slowly away when sixth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (5/2) 12 days ago. Capable but isn't one for maximum faith.

33/1

Dual Chelmsford winner finished 7th of 9 at Chelmsford (16/1) 24 days ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained), easy to back and may have needed the run. No surprise to see him closer to form here.

Form: 0-18357

Imperial Guard^b²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Dods| OR: 71

5/1

Third in a better race over C&D in May and off a much lower mark now. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (9/2) 24 days ago, shaped well in first-time blinkers despite being left too far back to land a blow. May capitalise on falling mark if blinkers have the same effect.

Lovat Scout³⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke| OR: 71| BF

10/1

Winner on debut at Thirsk last season. Placed in a nursery at Catterick (5f, soft) but finished season on a low-note when last of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (9/4) 340 days ago, again showing awkwardness at the stalls. Gelded in the interim and market should guide expectations on all-weather debut.

Marajito²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Faye McManoman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 71| D

33/1

Won a 5f handicap at Redcar in June but eighth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (22/1) 29 days ago, some mitigation having raced with no cover. Form has declined since win but has finished second on both previous starts over this C&D.

Form: 201558

Alhather^b¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: D J Murphy| OR: 68| D

9/2

Career best to get off the mark on stable debut, winning 9-runner 5f handicap at Newcastle (4/1) 13 days ago with first-time blinkers, leading on the bridle 2f out. Remains on a feasible mark if blinkers have the same effect second time up.

Form: 47-4091

Dashing Harry^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: James Horton| OR: 68| CD

20/1

Course and distance winner who has been in poor form since April win, finishing seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (25/1) 16 days ago when back in headgear (retained) but again racing freely. On a career-low mark but remains to be seen if he's on a going day back over 5f.

Blue Force^h1²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 67| CD

16/1

Winner of consecutive 5f AW handicaps, latter over C&D in March (race worked out well). Eighth of 14 at Southwell (20/1) 27 days ago when returning from a break and possibly needing the run. Better expected here with first-time hood applied.

Form: 321-108

Level Up^v¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans| OR: 65| CD

16/1

11 career wins including one at this C&D. Third of 8 in AW handicap at Wolverhampton (10/1) 15 days ago, racing keenly under an inexperienced rider which impacted finishing effort. Only 1 lb above last winning mark with Rossa Ryan taking over in the saddle.

Very competitive. IMPERIAL GUARD was third in a better race here earlier this season and having shaped well in first-time blinkers last time, he's taken to capitalise on a falling mark. Equity Law still looks well treated if translating his form to the AW, while Alhather was rejuvenated in first-time blinkers at Newcastle and could go well again if headgear has the same effect. Course winner Ancient Times has a good record when fresh and may continue that trend under Tom Marquand.
