PADDY THE SQUIRE (4.13 Thirsk, nap)
This son of Golden Horn has been in flying form this season. He kicked off win a smooth win at Chester in a big field before going close in hot contests at York and then Haydock last time. This looks easier than that Old Newton Cup and he should be right there again.
NIBRAS GOLD (6.15 Haydock, nb)
He joined James Owen from David Pipe earlier this year and looks a different horse. He ran a cracker over hurdles last time and was an easy winner on his latest spin on the Flat. He has a top pilot on board for this amateurs’ race and looks hard to beat.
LONDON (3.10 Thirsk, treble)
He is bred to be a lot better than a Class 6 handicap and he was only a couple of lengths behind a future Listed winner at Beverley in June. He has a fair mark for this handicap debut even before his rider’s 7lb claim.
GLORYOUS (8.14 Newmarket, Lucky 15)
She’s looking for a hat-trick after easy wins at Leicester and Sandown. She relishes this 1m2f trip and a 6lb penalty won’t put the brakes on.
