Won 11-runner maiden at Pontefract (6f, good) on debut 36 days ago, getting the hang of things up the straight and just holding on.

Cole Ltd, Tote S TIMEFORM VIEW Best effort in novices when second of 7 at Chepstow (6.1f, good to soft, 4/1) 17 days ago, no match for a useful prospect but clear of rest. Makes handicap debut. Not taken lightly. TFRHHHHI BHA76

Brian Meehan, Manton T B Ennistown Stud Incognito Group Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Ran well in this headgear when second of 8 in nursery (9/1) at Kempton (8f) and similar form back on turf when third at Catterick last week, making his effort earlier than ideal. Remains of interest. TFRHHHHH BHA67

Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn first time by No. 3. Blinkers worn by No. 8. Stewards Note: CHOURMO: Following its run on 13/9/2022 it was reported that the horse’s saddle slipped.

PLAY SMARTER HUNKPAPA is clearly up to winning a nursery judged on his placed efforts at Kempton and Catterick so earns the vote. C&D winner Benacre found a nursery at York’s Ebor meeting too competitive and is worth another chance back in calmer waters, with Majestic Newlaw another to consider.

Where a bookmaker wishes to depart from this default position he may offer place terms for 3 or 4 runners, this must be at 1/5 odds a place 1-2 - 5 to 7 runners (inclusive): 1/4 (one quarter) odds for finishing 1st or 2nd - 8 or more runners: 1/5 odds for finishing 1st, 2nd or 3rd - Handicap races with 12 to 15 runners (inclusive): 1/4 odds for finishing 1st, 2nd or 3rd - Handicap races with 16 to 21 runners (inclusive): 1/5 odds for finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th - Handicap races with 22 or more runners: 1/4 odds for finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th
