Battled well to shade a tight finish over 2m in the mud at Beverley under Jake Dickson at the end of August but beaten upwards of 13l in his five other starts this year; only 1lb higher than Beverley but it's hard to know what to expect.

J: David Allan

T: Tim Easterby

Has failed to beat a rival in five of his six runs this season but he battled well when winning in the mud at Beverley (2m, heavy) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form but he needs to bounce back again after a laboured effort at York.

Failed to beat a rival on his first three starts this season but returned to form with a bang for short-head win under Jake Dickson in an apprentice handicap at Beverley (2m, heavy) last Sunday, the front two miles clear; escapes a penalty today and has to be firmly in calculations.

Front-runner who was a clear runner-up behind a rejuvenated winner at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) a fortnight ago before a remarkable 21l win at Chester (2m, good to soft) last Friday; that latest race was an apprentice handicap so he escapes a penalty today; this course winner could be tough to beat.

Front-runner who won at Ayr (1m7f, good to firm) in May and at Musselburgh (2m, good) the following month; down the field at the latter track last month but bounced back to form with a good second of eight at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) a week ago, pulling clear of the rest with the winner who was since won again; may not have his own way in front but has to be respected; due to be 2lb higher.

J: Shay Farmer

Registered two unchallenged wins from the front (around 2m, good to firm/good) on his first and third starts of the year; can probably be forgiven his latest effort over 2m2f ten days ago and he remains feasibly treated; considered.

Form & Verdict
Posted a third AW win when prevailing narrowly off 3lb lower at Newcastle (2m); 0-15 on turf but he's fine on this surface and will race prominently in this small field.

Good-ground maiden hurdle winner who is lightly raced on the Flat, but she was a 6l last of four here (1m7f, good to firm) in May on her handicap debut in this code and improvement is needed on this first run since.
