Sunshineandbubbles^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Candlish| OR: 71| CD

16/1

Previous C&D winner who is only 2lb higher than when winning at Wolverhampton in April. Should be approaching peak fitness and claims if putting her best foot forward.

Form: 254880

(5)

Il Sicario^h¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 68| D

10/1

Struggled to find his best form since switching to this yard under both codes. Only had one AW start and ran well. On an attractive mark if able to take a step forward now.

Form: 416-283

(1)

Perfect Refuge¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: M Harley| T: C G Cox| OR: 70| D

13/8

Improved form since tackling handicaps having won at Windsor and followed that up with a solid effort at Leicester last time. Up another 4lb here but on the upgrade and claims once again.

Form: 559512

Echo Brava²¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Liam Keniry| T: J & S Best| OR: 67| C

33/1

Has clearly had some problems having raced only five times since 2016. Returns here from another long absence and probably best watched despite being on a good mark.

Form: 4/77769

(3)

Appenzeller¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 69

5/2

Made all to win over 1m1½f at Wolverhampton last time having been aggressively ridden. Nudged up 4lb for that victory but should be more to come although may have to be ridden with a little more restraint here.

Form: 5-42651

(9)

Make Good^v¹¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: David Dennis| OR: 68

33/1

Largely been on the downgrade this year but bounced back to form when only caught late on in a first-time visor at Nottingham back in July. Starts life for a new yard today back up 6lb. Riders claim offsets most of that and visor retained.

Form: 9-40782

(10)

Music Major³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: M J Attwater| OR: 62| CD

16/1

Won over C&D off 2lb higher back in November last year but has been largely out of sorts since. Shaped a little better than the result suggests last time from a wide draw and dangerous if bouncing back.

Form: 496807

(2)

Foresee²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 61| D

9/1

Had been in good form on soft ground prior to a heavy defeat at Ayr (1m5f) last time. This drop in trip should suit and only 3lb higher than when a comfortable winner at Epsom in August.

Form: 0-34130

(8)

Duhr⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Ryan Tate| T: R J Smith| OR: 59

66/1

Well held on all four starts in the UK including on handicap debut at Sandown last time. That was a pretty good race for the grade and although his mark continues to fall, he should do better at some stage.

Form: 5776-77

(6)

Mullarkey¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Kieren Fox| T: J R Best| OR: 57| D

14/1

Hasn't shown any worthwhile form for almost a year and is now 11lb below his last winning mark. Undoubtedly well handicapped but hard to trust at present.

Form: 668590

(11)

Tesorina¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Jason Watson| T: W J Knight| OR: 56

16/1

Still a maiden after eight starts but her best run came over this C&D in June. Easily reeled in when trying to make all at Yarmouth last time and will face plenty of opposition for the lead if trying to do the same here.

Form: 503494

Forecasts

Perfect Refuge (13/8), Appenzeller (5/2), Foresee (9/1), Il Sicario (10/1), Mullarkey (14/1), Tesorina (16/1), Music Major (16/1), Sunshineandbubbles (16/1), Barbara Villiers (16/1), Make Good (33/1), Echo Brava (33/1), Duhr (66/1)

Sunshineandbubbles has been running herself into form of late and she could be dangerous here off just 2lb higher than for her last win. Make Good will be dangerous once more if the visor has the same effect as last time on his first run for David Dennis. MUSIC MAJOR is lurking on a winning mark and shaped much better than the bare result suggests here last time. He can get back to winning ways under Luke Morris.
