C&D winner who scored again at Lingfield last time. Looked to have a bit in hand there, so may be able to overcome a 4lb rise. Claims.

C&D winner who scored in Listed company at Lingfield in February. On a 12-race losing run now, but respected from this mark after just 1½L Lingfield defeat last time.

10/1
Effective over both 5f/6f. Without a win for a year, and has had a break and wind surgery since last seen for Roger Varian in July. Changed hands for 43,000gns since, and makes stable debut with a bit to prove.

Won a C&D conditions event in April and not disgraced in Group 2 company on turf next time. Respectable effort at Chelmsford when last seen in June. Goes well fresh and should again be competitive.

Won here over 6f a year ago, but remains effective over this trip. 1lb higher than his last win, and took step back in right direction last time. Tough draw, but not written off.

20/1
Went close from 1lb higher at Kempton in April, but significantly below that level in three of his five starts since. May be able to put that behind him now freshened up again, as he has a good record after a break. Claims.

20/1
C&D winner last year, when 5lb lower. Completed hat-trick on turf in July, and won again at Kempton in October, when 4lb lower. Held from this mark and in this grade last time, however, and more needed at this level.

25/1
Won a 5f Ripon maiden last year when with Owen Burrows. Last of eight, beaten 7L on debut for this trainer at Kempton recently and now dropped 3lb, but others make more appeal.

Age: 7|  Weight: 8-4| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR:  88| CD
33/1
Triple C&D winner, one of those being on Tapeta. Arrives in decent form, but not sure he quite has the class to beat some of these opponents.

Age: 8|  Weight: 8-2| J: F Norton| T: M Wigham| OR:  86| CD
6/1
Dual C&D winner, one being on Tapeta. Went close here last time, but will need to pull out more in a better race here. Each-way appeal.

Forecasts

Corinthia Knight (15/8), Gracious John (7/2), Foxy Forever (6/1), Doctor Sardonicus (15/2), Double Up (10/1), Tropics (16/1), Jumira Bridge (20/1), Alsvinder (20/1), Mokaatil (25/1), Dynamo Walt (33/1)

Verdict

A good race in prospect. Foxy Forever and Dynamo Walt both go well here, but their best efforts have been in lower grades than this, so they look up against it for the win. Corinthia Knight arrives in good form and has claims, while Doctor Sardonicus is another of interest. However, the record of JUMIRA BRIDGE when fresh is very positive, and from this mark he is taken to score.
  1. Jumira Bridge
  2. Corinthia Knight
  3. Doctor Sardonicus
