9/4
Three-time C&D winner, hasn't had his best stuff with him lately, including here four weeks ago but capable of getting involved with a bounce-back.

Winner on AW bow over C&D last month when sporting a first-time visor. Failed to match that sort of effort a fortnight later. Has to rebound here.

14/1
Useful 87-rated handicapper over the summer for Ed Dunlop, gaining both wins on turf over 1m2f/1m4f. Shaped much better than market suggested on debut for new trainer here recently and entitled to claims dropped in trip.

33/1
Thrice-raced maiden for Roger Varian in Britain, offering something to work on. Sports a new tongue tie returned from a break for new trainer and worth some attention.

8/1
Been in good tune here of late over this trip and further, though unable to justify short-price favouritism in a claimer last month (1m2½f). Should run his race again.

Six-time C&D winner, three of them this year and latest last month. Since finished fair second here and should be in the firing line again when it counts.

Winner of an apprentice handicap over C&D in August, on fourth AW start. Held since on turf at Gowran Park, now comes back from a break and needs to be at top of his game.

Forecasts

Mr Ormsby (9/4), Reckless Lad (3/1), War Hero (9/2), Namazee (7/1), Georgian Bay (8/1), Goodwood Showman (9/1), Amlad (14/1), Azezati (20/1), Pivotal Man (33/1)

Verdict

AMLAD outran his odds here on debut for Andrew McNamara and has been found a decent chance to build on that introduction, with the drop in trip no reason for concern. Georgian Bay has been in good heart around here of late and joins Mr Ormsby in being one of the more likely conveyances in the line-up. Reckless Lad routinely goes well goes well and is on any shortlist.
  1. Amlad
