Sunshineandbubbles^p³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J Candlish| OR: 70| CD

20/1

Previous C&D winner that has been struggling for form this year. Well held on both AW starts so far this autumn and needs to do much more here.

Form: 548800

First Dance⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: T P Tate| OR: 70

9/4

Won at Pontefract off 1lb lower back in August but has failed to spark since. Well held over 1m2f at Newcaslte last week and needs plenty more than that going up in trip here.

Form: 516837

Butterfield³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 69

7/1

Didn't show a great deal in four starts for previous yard and doesn't look particularly well handicapped. Beaten a long way at Yarmouth five weeks ago and hopes are pinned on some major improvement for new yard.

Form: 3477

Attain¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁷⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 68| C| D

20/1

Remains 1lb higher than for latest win at Lingfield in June. It has been a mixture of good and bad since and was well held over this C&D last week. Hard to trust and others preferred.

Form: 162408

Iftiraaq^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: D Loughnane| OR: 67

16/1

Has won under both codes for Seamus Durack, but below form in four runs for current yard. Beaten a long way at Southwell last time and hard to trust at present.

Form: 140/760

Let's Be Happy^b³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: Miss M E Rowland| OR: 66| CD

50/1

Dual C&D winner in the summer, and 2lb higher than for last win. Tailed off on last three efforts though and that tempers enthusiasm somewhat.

Form: 611290

Donnachies Girl^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: A C Whillans| OR: 64| D

8/1

Showed up well dropped into class 6 company at Newcastle last time. Down another 1lb here and mark continues to fall but maybe vulnerable for win purposes back in class 5.

Form: 865276

Ice Canyon^h⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S W Kelly| T: W M Brisbourne| OR: 64

16/1

Won off 2lb higher at Chester earlier on in the year but has been beaten a long way on his last three starts and very hard to make a case for him in current mood.

Form: 137900

(8)

Sotomayor^b,t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 66| D

11/1

Best effort in recent starts came when dropped into a claimer back in July. Struggling to get competitive in handicaps since and hard to make a case for in current mood.

Form: 562877

(4)

Champarisi⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Mitchell| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 64| BF

3/1

Well backed and bounced back to from when just failing at Newcastle (1m4½f) last week. Same mark here and a player for sure if in the same mood.

Form: 5-94354

(12)

Rainbow Jazz^b,e/s⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: A West| OR: 63

28/1

Won a weak (and messy) race at Chelmsford two starts back but struggled up in trip last time. Likely to try and make all but remains a doubt over this far and will be vulnerable late on.

Forecasts

First Dance (9/4), Champarisi (3/1), Butterfield (7/1), Donnachies Girl (8/1), Sotomayor (11/1), Dream Magic (14/1), Iftiraaq (16/1), Ice Canyon (16/1), Sunshineandbubbles (20/1), Attain (20/1), Rainbow Jazz (28/1), Let's Be Happy (50/1)

Most of these have some sort of questions to answer at present and that may open the door for CHAMPARISI to gain a second career success. She ran well at Newcastle last week and a repeat effort will make her tough to beat here. Dream Magic should be fitter for his recent spin over shorter and will be a player for sure. Donnachies Girl may be best of the rest.
