Master Of My Fate

9st 3lb

J: Shane Gray

T: John & Sean Quinn

Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year and ran respectably at Nottingham in April, but he's 3lb above his highest winning mark and will need a career best if he's to go in again.

Form & Verdict
Improved upon debut when 100-1 and beating two home at York (6f, good) latest; neither her sire nor her dam ever raced over a trip this short, so perhaps the drop back won't play to her strengths.

0-10 and she's been some way below form in AW handicaps in her last three starts; 1m seemed to stretch her at Southwell last time but mark has bottomed out now and others are preferred; cheekpieces back on.

Form & Verdict
Raced freely on debut when not devoid of promise but beating just one home at Ayr (5f, good to soft) last month; took a backward step at Thirsk (5f, soft) latest, when again failing to settle; probably best watched but may still have a place hope.

Best effort when third of five in a Pontefract novice (5f, good to firm) last August, but well held in both subsequent nurseries; plenty to prove back from eight months off.

J: James Sullivan

T: Ruth Carr

Still 5lb below his last winning mark and was having only his third start for the yard when beaten a neck by a much better-fancied stablemate at Catterick (7f, good) eight days ago; already due a 2lb rise for that and no surprise if he steps up again; major player.

J: Warren Fentiman

T: Ruth Carr

Won over C&D (for Declan Carroll) last July and he competes here from a 5lb lower mark; lacked the pace to challenge on first two starts for Ruth Carr (who also saddles Filey Beach) so stepping back up to 7f rates as a positive move; wide draw, yet still merits respect.

9st 8lb

J: James Sullivan

T: Ruth Carr

Mixed bag for his former stable but he looked a cut above this level on occasions; joint-favourite for his stable/seasonal debut at Thirsk 19 days ago and ran on for a never-dangerous fifth; he will need to build on that effort to win here but that is not out of the question.

Half-sister to six winners, out of a sprint winner; 28-1 on debut at Thirsk (6f, soft) last month, when ducking left early on and always behind; drops back to this stiff 5f; much more needed.

Not had a lot of luck of late, latterly when anticipating the start and slowly away at Chester ten days ago; has a C&D autumn win to her name and goes on the shortlist for a yard in decent nick.

Close to her last winning mark (6f, Carlisle) and has knocked at the door at Beverley (5f, soft; third) and Hamilton (6f, good to soft; runner-up) on her last two starts; that latest effort was given a boost with Gizelles Izzy (third) winning at Carlisle on Tuesday; one of the likeliest candidates.
