Five course wins; off the mark for the season in an apprentice race at Redcar a week ago (1m, good, ridden by Archie Young) and, with no penalty and on ground that will suit, warrants respect with same apprentice riding.
Form: 342211 D

W: 9st 13lb
Age: 6 yo Filly
In good form with cheekpieces this summer and is bidding for a hat-trick after wins at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) and Carlisle (1m, good to soft); up 7lb but a possible.
Form: 00-593
OR: 64
W: 9st 13lb
Age: 4 yo Colt
Hasn't won since his juvenile days, but sound run after a break when 0.5l third to Hostelry (2lb worse off) at Carlisle last time (1m, good to soft); interesting.
Form: 932
OR: 67
W: 9st 12lb
Age: 3 yo Gelding
Placed in maidens at Haydock (7f, good to soft) and Thirsk (1m, soft, 12l-second to a smart prospect) on last two starts; stable going well and quite interesting on handicap debut.
Form: 513932 CD
OR: 62
W: 9st 11lb
Age: 4 yo Filly
Pontefract winner off 5lb lower in May (1m, good); good runs here on last two starts, the first over 1m2f on good to soft and last time over this trip on fast ground; each-way chance.

Ex-David O'Meara; not been in the best of form for present yard this year and best watched for now.
Form: -11813 DBF
OR: 57
W: 9st 6lb
Age: 4 yo Gelding
Three wins over 1m from five runs this season, the latest off 5lb lower at Yarmouth (good to soft) on stable debut in early August; below-par when stepped up to 1m2f last time; could go well, back at shorter trip.
Form: 314488 CD
OR: 53
W: 9st 2lb
Age: 7 yo Mare
Not at her best since beating Hostelry (8lb worse off) by 1.25l over C&D in June (soft); others make more appeal.
Form: 622227 BF
OR: 55
W: 9st 0lb
Age: 3 yo Gelding
11-race maiden; runner-up on four consecutive occasions over 1m/1m2f in June/July (one on soft ground); not so good last time but chance on his best form.
Form: 066756 D

W: 8st 9lb
Age: 9 yo Gelding
Exposed; winner over this trip at Wolverhampton in January; has run mainly on the AW since, although fair run only turf start (fifth over 1m on good ground at Bath); others stronger.
Form: 242072
OR: 47
W: 8st 6lb
Age: 3 yo Filly
14-race maiden; runner-up on four occasions this season, three over 1m at Ripon (including last time) and the other over 1m2f here; some poor runs in between and not easy to predict.
Form: 758652
OR: 45
W: 8st 5lb
Age: 3 yo Filly
Showed improved form in first-time blinkers when 100-1 second in a 0-55 classified over C&D last week (soft); this a stronger race, but each-way chance.
