It Just Takes Time⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Olivia Tubb| T: M Walford| OR: 84| D

9/2

Won back to back on turf at Beverley and Leicester this autumn. Only a respectable effort on AW latest but may fare better back on the grass.

Form: 724118

Look Back Smiling^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: G Tutty| OR: 83| CD

5/2

Has good Doncaster record, including a win the Spring Mile on heavy ground in March. Keeping on when hampered late on over C&D a fortnight ago and has to enter the reckoning.

Form: 204707

Fahrenheit Seven¹²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall| T: M D I Usher| OR: 80

18/1

Improved when winning handicaps at Haydock (5f, good) and Epsom (6f, good to soft) in July. Brings un unexposed profile back from 4 months off but the 7f trip and soft ground are unknowns.

Form: 243311

Educate⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 77

100/1

Falling in the weights but hard to fancy on what he's done in 3 outings over much longer trips since joining this yard.

Form: 353897

Beauty Choice²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 74| BF| D

11/1

Successful over 7f at Catterick (heavy) in April and creditable placed efforts on all outings since, on the latest third of 11 back at Catterick 3 weeks ago. No reason why he won't figure prominently again.

Form: 413323

Capote's Dream^b,t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Liam Wright| T: T Ward| OR: 71

18/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2023 but took a big step back in the right direction when second of 8 at Newbury (6f, heavy) 15 days ago. Blinkers back on. Has good chance on form.

Mister Sox^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Archie Young| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| D

4/1

Won over 6f at Catterick (soft) in May. Mostly at least respectable efforts since, including fourth of 11 back at Catterick (7f, heavy, 9/2) 11 days ago. Ought to be competitive.

Form: 244254

No Nay Nicki²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 66| D

16/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Below form eleventh of 18 in handicap at York (7f, soft, 10/1) 29 days ago but her yard's fine record in this race makes her a dangerous one to discount.

Ey Up Its Jazz⁴^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Mikkel Mortensen| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 59| D

7/2

Revels in the mud, making all at Redcar (7f, soft) on Tuesday. Effectively 7 lb higher (5 lb penalty and 2 lb out of handicap) but he still can't be discounted under these ground conditions.

Form: 282321

Forecasts

Look Back Smiling (5/2), Ey Up Its Jazz (7/2), Mister Sox (4/1), It Just Takes Time (9/2), Beauty Choice (11/1), No Nay Nicki (16/1), Capote's Dream (18/1), Fahrenheit Seven (18/1), Educate (100/1)

CAPOTE'S DREAM is well treated if he can build on his latest back-to-form second at Newbury. Second choice is Look Back Smiling who wasn't seen to best effect here on Futurity day and won on this card last season. The consistent Beauty Choice completes the shortlist.
