Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 82| CD

14/1

Completed a 5f hat-trick when seeing off 8 rivals at Carlisle at the end of May. Has found life tougher up further in the weights since, down the field at Newmarket last time. Others preferred.

Moonstone Boy^b⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Archie Young⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 82| D

6/1

Successful twice at Hamilton in August and ran well there on penultimate outing. Poorly drawn when down the field at York last time and shouldn't be written off.

Never Dark²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: I Jardine| OR: 82| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Hamilton in September. 16/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 2 days ago. Not the most consistent but booking of Tom Marquand looks significant.

Trilby⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: S England| OR: 78| BF| C

11/8

Three 6f wins this year, including on heavy. Showed he's still very much at the top of his game when second of 12 at York a week ago and another bold showing is on the cards.

Form: 133722

Our Absent Friends^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Paddy Bradley| T: T Davidson| OR: 77| BF| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Ripon in September. Not in the same form at Redcar since but type to bounce back quickly.

Form: 221315

Seantrabh¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Robinson| T: D Carroll| OR: 76| D

4/1

Has become well handicapped, goes well in testing ground, and has been shaping up well of late, doing well from a poor draw at Redcar last time. Looks a big player.

Form: 6-44403

Count D'Orsay^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75| CD

18/1

C&D winner who got back on scoreboard when landing 12-runner handicap at Chester (5.5f, soft) in September. Not in the same form at Ripon subsequently but that race may have come too soon.

Form: 155619

Secret Mistral²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A W Carroll| OR: 71| CD

8/1

Resumed from five months off with a career best in landing a 13-runner C&D handicap (5f, good) in June and has remained in top form since, having the draw as an excuse at Chester last time. Respected.

Forecasts

Trilby (5/2), Seantrabh (3/1), Our Absent Friends (5/1), Never Dark (8/1), Secret Mistral (8/1), Moonstone Boy (10/1), Count D'Orsay (12/1), Angel Shared (12/1)

SEANTRABH did well to finish third from an unfavourable draw at Redcar last time and, from a lenient mark, he's worth siding with. Trilby has been holding his form admirably this season and ran with credit in a more competitive race than this at York a week ago, so he's regarded as a big danger, while Secret Mistral isn't without hope either.
