Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 99| D

12/1

Speedy front runner who hasn't added to his tally in 20023 but he's posted a trio of useful efforts in handicaps. Helped set a strong pace at Newcastle 17 days ago and smaller field will help him here, albeit he has a bit to find.

Raasel^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: W Buick| T: M Appleby| OR: 110| D

1/1

Developed into a smart Group-3 winning sprinter in 2022. Struggled to scale same heights initially this year but has stood up well to a robust campaign and was just about better than ever when a cosy winner at Haydock last week. The one to beat on these terms.

Silky Wilkie¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 106| BF| D

4/1

Impressive winner of the Scottish Sprint Cup at Musselburgh (5f, soft) during the spring and largely creditable efforts since, not least when runner-up in a York listed race in July. Occupied same spot at that level a fortnight ago and he's sure to give it another good go.

Rogue Lightning^h³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: D Tudhope| T: Tom Clover| OR: 107| CD

9/4

Totally different proposition since gelded and fitted with a hood, supplementing his C&D win at Ascot (both handicaps) this summer. Totally unexposed and well worth a shot at this level.

Form: 26-3911

Forecasts

Raasel (1/1), Rogue Lightning (9/4), Silky Wilkie (4/1), Fine Wine (12/1)

RAASEL won at a higher level than this last season and following a low-key start to 2023 he was just about better than ever at Haydock last week. He's the one to beat on these terms, though the 3-y-o Rogue Lightning is on a steep upward curve and has to command respect.
