50/1 |
Oviedo
Rated as high as 96 when winning the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar in May 2023; 0-3 on AW, and has beaten only a handful of rivals in five starts since joining this trainer; fast-declining handicap mark.

It's A Love Thing
His two best Flat efforts this year have come at Pontefract, winning over 1m2f there (beat Show Biz Kid) in April and finishing runner-up over 1m4f in July; same mark as when third over a mile at Newcastle five weeks ago; claimer ridden on this occasion; a possible.

Show Biz Kid
Won by a neck at Yarmouth (1m2f, good; from a similar mark) in April but that does represent his sole win from 20 starts; shaped a bit better, lacking the pace to stake a claim, when fourth (Spec Of Light fifth) over 1m3f here (20-1) 16 days ago; isn't discounted.

Caramay
Hung left-handed under pressure when back from a 73-day absence over C&D (eighth of 11, beaten approximately 10l; 12-1) recently; is competitively weighted from 4lb below her last winning mark but isn't in the same form as earlier in the year.

The English Rogue
Fair fourth on recent handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f; in this same headgear combination) without necessarily appearing an obvious winner in waiting; low mileage, but whether this extra two furlongs will suit remains to be seen.

7/2 |
Prince Quattro
Four wins over hurdles including at Market Rasen (2m) in July; consistent on AW recently (form figures 243), lacking the speed to make his presence felt at Wolverhampton (1m6f) latest; this shorter trip isn't ideal but the galloping nature of this track should assist; chance.

Percy Willis
Newcastle regular; competitive this autumn, locked into battle with shock winner Krissy (1m2f; 11-1) at Gosforth Park just over a fortnight ago; all six career wins have come over 1m4f, and it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that a change of scenery can unlock the door.

Troy Story
Still searching for his first win (0-10); took a keen hold and weakened over 8.5f at Wolverhampton latest (on second start for this trainer) and that's hardly a ringing endorsement for his prospects over an extra 3.5f; clear stamina doubts.

11/2 |
Spec Of Light
2lb lower than when narrowly justifying favouritism over a mile here in March; fifth, a short-head behind tonight's rival Show Biz Kid, over 1m3f here 16 days ago; tackles a new trip with some hope from dam's side of pedigree that this extra yardage could be within range.
