6/1
Down-the-field reappearance run at Ascot was followed by a fine effort at Doncaster off this mark. Should be at peak fitness now and has strong claims if effective on this surface.

Won over 1m4f at Southwell, where all three of his wins have been achieved, in March, but has completely lost his way recently and failed to beat a rival on his last two starts. Plenty to prove.

Landed a handicap over an extended 1m4f at this track in July, but has been held since. Steps up in trip off a slightly-reduced mark, so may be capable of an improved display.

7/2
Won a maiden on debut at Chelmsford in August, and was keen when fourth in a handicap over C&D next time. Hampered on latest outing over 1m4f at Kempton and should be happier back over this longer trip.

11/2
Wining hurdler who has also been making hay on the Flat, wining his last two at Catterick. First run on the AW off career-high mark, but has to be taken seriously given his progressive profile.

Waiting For Richie12
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: T P Tate| OR:  73| CD
11/4
Still looking for his first win on turf, but is 1-2 on the AW and won over C&D two starts ago. Again ran well when second on grass at Newmarket last time and has to be of interest off 1lb higher.

Back with this trainer after a spell in the US, but four runs since her return have been ordinary and her handicap mark has dropped accordingly. May well pop up at some stage, but others preferred for now.

Won over 1m6f at Ripon in the summer and has performed well since, including when a close third at Nottingham last time. Likes to be up there and can make his presence felt, but finished last of nine on his only start on the AW.

Saved By The Bell12
Age: 7|  Weight: 8-13| J: P Mulrennan| T: L A Mullaney| OR:  70
14/1
Won four times for David O'Meara and has run well on his last three starts on turf for current trainer. Not far behind Waiting For Richie on turf last time, he has to prove he can translate that form to the AW, on which he is 0-3.

11/1
Landed a maiden over an extended 1m4 at this track in June and confirmed his liking for this surface when a fairly-close sixth over C&D to Waiting For Ritchie two starts ago. Now 4lb better off and in first-time blinkers, he has prospects.

Has been kept busy as usual this year and won turf handicaps at Doncaster and Pontefract in the summer. Capable enough on the AW, but meets some progressive sorts and may be vulnerable at these weights.

Age: 6|  Weight: 8-10| J: G Lee| T: R Menzies| OR:  67| D
125/1
Successful in a 2m handicap at Catterick in May, but has not been seen since finishing last of four at Musselburgh in June. Unplaced in five starts on AW surfaces and has something to prove after her break.

12/1
A winner over 1m5f at Bath in July, he has been knocking on the door in four runs since, Has inched up the weights, but his consistency makes him a player and he has each-way claims.

Forecasts

Waiting For Richie (11/4), Mobbhij (7/2), Tonto's Spirit (11/2), Zaidiyn (6/1), Airton (7/1), Montanna (11/1), Innoko (12/1), Saved By The Bell (14/1), Teak (16/1), Stormin Tom (33/1), Wordiness (33/1), Belle De Lawers (50/1), Lady Clitico (125/1), Samtu (125/1)

Verdict

A really competitive stayers' handicap in which cases can be made for at least half of the runners. At either end of the weights, Zaidiyn and Teak have each-way claims, a remark which certainly applies to the consistent Innoko. Mobbhij is unexposed and will appreciate the return to this trip, but this may rest between Tonto's Spirit, WAITING FOR RICHIE and Montanna. The selection is narrowly preferred given his progressive profile and his liking for this track.
  1. Waiting For Richie
  2. Tonto's Spirit
  3. Montanna
