13/2
C&D winner who ended a losing run stretching back to 2022 when winning 7-runner minor event at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm, 4/1) 4 days ago, making all. This looks tougher from a wide draw but not ruled out with a repeat.

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. First run since leaving John Wainwright when last of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 66/1) 10 days ago, dropping away over 2f out. Eyeshields on for 1st time.

5/1
Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. 3/1, respectable 1½ lengths third of 7 to Doomsday in minor event at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Not out of things from a handy draw.

Modest gelding. 14/1, fifth of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) 10 days ago, no extra last ½ having been too lit up. Others more persuasive.

10/3
4-time course winner who took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm, 9/2) 19 days ago. Worth chancing to build on that now.

3/1
Irish raider who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when sixteenth of 23 in handicap at Cork (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago, no room under 2f out and not unduly punished. One to bear in mind down in class.

Modest filly. 14/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Down in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.

11/1
C&D winner (won this race 12 months ago). Latest win at Beverley in July. 3/1, good third of 9 in handicap back at that venue (7.4f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Merits consideration.

200/1
Little in the way of solid form for Tony Coyle and yet to beat a rival in pair of outings for new yard since returning from an absence. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 10¾ lengths last of 8 to Rum Runner in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 22/1) 32 days ago, dropping away from 2f out. Others arrive with more pressing claims.

Forecasts

Rebecca's Girl (3/1), Rain Cap (10/3), Coconut Bay (5/1), Doomsday (13/2), Desert Dream (15/2), John Kirkup (9/1), Rum Runner (11/1), Rockin Rosa (12/1), Vondelpark (12/1), Gimcrack Warrior (20/1), Ribkana (22/1), Selby's Joy (200/1), Chattel Village (250/1)

Verdict

RAIN CAP took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Hamilton on his latest outing 3 weeks ago and returned to this venue, he could be worth siding with to build on that eased in class. Irish raider Rebecca's Girl and last year's 1-2 Rum Runner and Doomsday are others to consider.
