4/1

best effort to date when winning over C&D last time out. Just 3lb higher this isn't much tougher and, as she's still open to improvement, there could be plenty more to come. Big player again here.

Well held behind Champagne Pink last week and no obvious reason as to why he should be able to reverse the form despite a runabout in the weights.

Billy Bond^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 59| D

12/1

Winner at Carlisle in September but form mixed since then. Decent effort latest but no certain to repeat the effort and lacks the consistency for a recommendation for anything other than a place at best.

Top Offer^b¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Fran Berry| T: P Morris| OR: 59| CD

10/1

Good effort to win over C&D earlier in the month - confirming his liking for racing round here. Up 4lb for that effort but still well treated on the pick of his old form. Sound place claims once more.

Different Journey^b¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P Makin| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 58

5/2

Joined his current yard after just one start of Godolphin but has yet to really catch the imagination. Did show promise on his latest outing but still more required before he can be forwarded with confidence.

Ingleby Angel¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 58| BF| D

7/2

In fair form since rejoining his current trainer and could feasibly go close in his current frame of mind. Does have a few questions to answer regarding his ability to act on this course.

Know Your Name¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: T Eaves| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 57| CD

25/1

Out of form since winning over C&D in the summer and plenty to prove despite being 3lb below that winning mark.

Mimic's Memory¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Garritty| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 60

33/1

Raced mainly at 6f but has stayed a mile and is handily drawn for his style of running. Recent for has been poor, however, and she comes into this with a lot to prove.

Hot Mustard^h²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Josephine Gordon| T: W R Muir| OR: 57| CD

9/1

Won over the extended mile here last time - getting off the mark on the AW at the tenth attempt. Set to carry another 4lb and this looks a good bit tougher, so makes limited appeal in the follow up bid.

Form: 675471

Sky Marshal²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Liam Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 60

14/1

Lightly raced but yet to convince that a a mile is his optimum distance. Also has a bit to prove on tapeta debut, so probably best just watched this time around.

Arrowzone^b⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: K Frost| OR: 56| BF| CD

12/1

Dual course winner but found out by a 6lb rise at Newcastle latest. That has to go down as a disappointing performance but the return to this course may spark a bit of a revival. Still well handicapped, so worth a check in the betting at least.

Log Off¹³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Karen George| OR: 59| CD

66/1

Off since July and back with a new yard, so has a few questions to answer. Also 3lb higher than last winning mark, so not particularly well treated despite receiving weight all round.

Different Journey (5/2), Ingleby Angel (7/2), Champagne Pink (4/1), Hot Mustard (9/1), Top Offer (10/1), Lord Murphy (10/1), Arrowzone (12/1), Billy Bond (12/1), Sky Marshal (14/1), Edge (25/1), Know Your Name (25/1), Mimic's Memory (33/1), Log Off (66/1)

Possible that CHAMPAGNE PINK has a bit more to come and is taken to defy top weight in tricky finale. This doesn't look much tougher than the race she won last week and, with just a 3lb higher mark to contend with, this would appear to be a decent opportunity to strike again. Top Offer likes this course and would be dangerous to underestimate, while Arrowzone also raises his game at this track and is another that has to be feared. Support for Billy Bond would also be a noteworthy option if covering a few corners for place money.
