Turned in best effort of the campaign from a tumbling mark when fourth at Ripon last time. Definite claims from a handicapping perspective but hard to know if he'll be in the same form.

Capable off this sort of mark and returned to form despite a slow start when second at Carlisle 16 days ago. Should give another good account.

9/4
Latest win at Ripon in July and respectable efforts on two of three subsequent outings, threatening more for a long way when fourth at Carlisle on latest. One to consider.

Latest win at Thirsk in June. Struggling for form lately however, and others make more appeal.

Becoming well treated but has been out of sorts all season, so hard to make a solid case for.

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Catterick in July and backed it up with a respectable second here, finishing well. Should make his presence felt if things drop right.

9/1
Tricky customer who is sliding in the weights and hasn't been seen to best effect the last twice, so far from one to be writing off.

Fair sprinter who was quickly back to form and fared best of those ridden prominently when third at Beverley a month ago. May yet have more to offer and is likely to be thereabouts.

Won here around this time off a higher mark last year and has been back in form lately, finding only one too good at Beverley 3 weeks ago. Strong claims.

Fair form to date but has been consistent rather than progressive and his mark demands improvement.

Still a maiden and wasn't at her best when only fourth of 5 at Ripon last time. Others are more appealing.

Forecasts

Thornaby Pearl (9/4), J R Cavagin (9/2), Catch Cunningham (13/2), The Dunkirk Lads (15/2), Onemorenomore (9/1), Stone Of Destiny (9/1), Slingsbytoo (10/1), Lotus Rose (16/1), Selby's Pride (16/1), Bella Kopella (20/1), Mrs Trump (22/1)

Verdict

J R CAVAGIN is back in form and, having won over C&D around the same time last year, he's worth taking a chance on. Thornaby Pearl shaped well last time and is considered a threat, while Bella Kopella is likely to give her running again.
