5/1

Currently lurking on a good mark and despite not working first time, the blinkers definitely had a positive effect at Leicester last time. Has won here in the past and a player if backing that up now.

Buzz Lightyere^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J Gallagher| OR: 65| CD

10/1

Previous C&D winner who loves it around here. Races off them same mark as when winning at Ascot In July. Not been with this yard very long and no surprise were he to bounce back to form here.

Dream Of Camelot⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 66

10/1

Best effort so far when a close fourth at Kempton two starts back. Dropping in the weight all the time but needs to do plenty more for yard that won a division of this race in 2016.

Form: 4-96645

Soaring Spirits^b⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory| OR: 62| C| D

25/1

Not been in the best of form in the back-end of the summer. Has won here in the past and is on a fair mark so a return to form would not surprise.

Claudine²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: H Candy| OR: 63

10/1

Ran well here on seasonal debut back in June but the wheels have somewhat come off since. Dropped to a tempting mark though and a return to this venue could spark her back to life.

Form: 16-2579

It's Not Unusual^p,t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson| OR: 62

10/1

There have been signs that this sort of mark is going to be well within range. Never really on terms at Ffos Las last time but suspicion is that this track will suit and she could go well.

Form: 55-9425

Cricklewood Green²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson⁽³⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 59| CD

9/2

Has been slowly dropping in the weighs and made a sharp return to form over 1m2f here last time. Has won over C&D in the past and dropped another 1lb here. Major player.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Liam Jones| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 58| CD

33/1

Regular here and was a winner over C&D back in May. Tailed off on most recent run here however and has been off since. Capable off this mark if all is well.

7/2

Loves it here and has already won at the track twice this season. held here over 7f last time but a return to this trip will suit and will be a player once again.

Coachella^b⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: E De Giles| OR: 52| D

4/1

Winner at Bath off a 6lb lower mark back in June and ran well again there last time. Silvestre De Sousa keeps the faith and should be involved once more.

African Showgirl²⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 49| CD

25/1

Previous C&D winner who has not raced since December of last year. Lurking on a dangerous mark on old form but may well need this. Market check is essential.

Forecasts

Imbucato (7/2), Coachella (4/1), Cricklewood Green (9/2), Hedging (5/1), Dream Of Camelot (10/1), Claudine (10/1), It's Not Unusual (10/1), Buzz Lightyere (10/1), Bloodsweatandtears (12/1), Soaring Spirits (25/1), African Showgirl (25/1), With Approval (33/1)

A really open contest and you can make a case for plenty. Imbucato and Buzz Lightyere both love it round here and are very much respected. This track may suit It's Not Unusual and she could show some improvement now. CRICKLEWOOD GREEN is lurking on a good mark however and having run so well here over 1m2f last time, he can get back to winning ways dropped back to a mile here.
