4-29 AW; close third off this mark here (6f; 12-1) in June; has left Michael Keady for 3,000gns since last appearance; interesting to see how he responds to the change of scenery.

Master Dandy

9st 2lb

J: Cieren Fallon

T: Michael Keady

Was back off his last winning mark when beaten a head and a nose into third of 12 over C&D last month (second and fourth have won since); up 1lb and drawn wider this time, but still one for the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Returned from a three-month break to score over C&D (6-1; from 2lb lower) in June; less productive next time, but last week's Ffos Las fourth (5f, good, beaten 1l) was a step back in the right direction; Christian Howarth takes off 5lb.

Back to form when winning small-field 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in June but he's struggled badly otherwise this year; clear risks back on turf.

Form & Verdict
7-40 AW, including three C&D wins, the latest (from 2lb lower) in April; third to stablemate Sixcor at Ayr (5f) on penultimate start, but below that level of form over 6f subsequently; isn't discounted with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 5lb.

Yet to win (0-18) but has finished runner-up in two of her last three starts, beaten approximately 2l by the in-form South Shore over C&D (12-1) in June; 3lb higher, in an added tongue-tie, but must enter the reckoning in suitable company.

Winless from 16 but her best effort came on the AW at Wolverhampton last time when beaten a neck (5f); overall record suggests she might struggle to back it up back on turf in a better quality event.

Form & Verdict
Bagged the favoured far rail to take a Redcar classified (5f; 3-1) for the second year in succession latest; hasn't had many opportunities on AW (0-3) and arrives in better form than most, but this is slightly tougher from her revised mark.

Won this race a year ago and has made the frame in handicaps on her last four appearances; about 1l behind Gwen Tennyson at Catterick (5f, good to firm) on Tuesday and 2lb worse off with her today but still likely to be in the shake-up.

1-29, that win in a 5f Chelmsford novice (for Olly Murphy) back in February 2024; third at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) in July but his efforts either side of that don't instill confidence; notable Billy Loughnane is booked.

Verdict

It is helpful from a handicapping perspective that both The Fixer and Henery Hawk have claimers booked. However, this could be the time for SHE’S A GIFT to break the maiden. The Irish raider has finished runner-up in two visits to Wolverhampton. [Mark Rowntree]
