12/1

Pacifist¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Archie Young⁽⁵⁾| T: C Johnston| OR: 65| CD

9/1

Course and distance winner who has been showing improved form recently. Second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (14/1) 14 days ago, just beaten by a head when disputing the lead in the closing stages. Returns to the track where sole career success came and should be competitive again.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rowan Scott| T: T Davidson| OR: 65| D

12/1

Had good form with placed efforts at Carlisle and Ayr before disappointing eighth of 9 at Hamilton (15/2) just 3 days ago. First-time cheekpieces worn, previous all-weather form was poor.

Form: 282348

(2)

Seed Investor³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Nolan| T: I Furtado| OR: 64| CD

7/4

Had shown modest form in turf handicaps before trying all-weather. Won a 14-runner handicap at this C&D (7/2) 34 days ago, making good headway and quickening well to lead approaching the final furlong. Could be even more effective now with that confidence-boosting success behind him.

Form: 278601

Maiden with various excuses, finished fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (33/1) 24 days ago with first-time blinkers, raced freely and one paced late. Needs further help from the handicapper.

Suzette⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Russell| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 57

16/1

Winless in 10 runs since sole win, finished third of 9 in handicap at Beverley (20/1) 9 days ago making late headway. Better suited to 8f than shorter.

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden who finished second of 6 in novice at this C&D (40/1) 24 days ago when plugging on behind an exciting winner. Could improve in this low-grade handicap debut.

Form: 9-82

(3)

Mrbluesky^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 56| C

10/1

After moderate turf efforts this summer, finished seventh of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (9/1) 14 days ago, dropping away when upped to 10f. Return to this AW track where has won previously could help.

Form: 773557

Forecasts

Seed Investor (7/4), Terrapin (7/2), Pacifist (9/1), Glorious Kitty (10/1), Mrbluesky (10/1), Coonawarra Star (11/1), Runninsonofagun (12/1), Mister Invincible (12/1), Suzette (16/1), Oceans Charm (28/1), Bun Bang Fai (33/1), Urban Sky (66/1)

SEED INVESTOR shed his maiden tag with an impressive C&D success 34 days ago, making good headway and quickening well when it mattered. Having switched to the all-weather after modest turf efforts, he could be even more effective with that confidence boost. Pacifist, also a C&D winner, has been showing improved form and was narrowly denied at Chelmsford recently. Mister Invincible should appreciate returning to this track.
