J: William Pyle

T: David & Nicola Barron

7-24 with his last win coming when joined on the line at Ripon (1m, good; 3-1 favourite) in April 2025; struggled on AW through the winter (0-4), and was pestered for the lead, weakening to finish fifth (beaten 8l), at Ripon five weeks ago; an easing mark isn't enough to tempt.

Dead-heated over C&D (good) last April and went very close at Carlisle in June; well handicapped on that form but a long way below his best on AW this year; the return to turf needs to trigger a major revival.

Form & Verdict
Three wins from an extended 7f to 1m for current yard but beaten 18l on both starts this season, including only a fortnight ago, so doesn't obviously arrive in much form; has first-time cheekpieces added to her regular tongue-tie.

Front-running filly who was second on her C&D reappearance (good to soft; acts on soft) before winning at Ayr (1m, good to firm) and Carlisle (7f, good) in May/June; freshened up since a lesser effort in Ripon in early July and capable of bouncing back.

Bang-in-form filly who won from the front under Lewis Chalkley here (1m, good to firm) and at Carlisle (7f, good) last month; also effective on good to soft (unraced on soft); likely to given this a good shot.

Has gained all four handicap wins over C&D, including two this May (good to soft/good to firm); also ran well over the extended 7f here in midsummer and has been given a chance by the handicapper on the back of a poor run at Pontefract five weeks ago; his C&D record affords him plenty of respect.

Form & Verdict
Won a Catterick novice over 7f on good in April; chased home a next-time-out winner at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in June in only her second handicap and not seen to best effect (hampered late) when fifth (Sandy Craic second) at Redcar (1m, good to firm) since; any easing of the ground would be a slight concern given she was a non-runner due to unsuitable ground on soft at Haydock earlier in the year but she's still relatively unexposed and the Ed Bethell stable continues in good form.

Betting Forcast

25/1 Good Morning Alex, 8/1 Regalian, 25/1 Style Of Life, 7/2 Glen Nevis, 8/1 Glorious Kitty, 12/1 Coolree, 10/1 Borjina, 4/1 Sandy Craic, 7/1 Tarmonbarry Kid, 10/1 Mount King, 25/1 Filey Beach, 12/1 Cobalt Comet

Verdict

An open finale in which the suggestion is TARMONBARRY KID, who has been freshened up since Hamilton and seems likely to encounter the same sort of ground as when successful at Doncaster in May. Fellow 3yos Sandy Craic (second choice), Borjina and Glen Nevis also merit consideration, while Coolree’s good C&D record makes him a must for the shortlist. [Andrew Sheret]
