Major Crispies¹⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 65WS

33/1

Won a seller at Beverley in July but well beaten on two subsequent starts for his new yard. Probably better over a bit shorter than this and has the widest draw to cope with. First start since a wind operation.

Bond Angel¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Katherine Begley⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 63| CD

8/1

Improving of late and arrives bidding for a course hat-trick after winning when stepped up to this trip last time. Leading claims from just 4lb higher.

Alonso Cano^b³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: J Hughes| OR: 62

5/1

Improved to finish fourth of 13 on handicap debut last time out at Wolverhampton. Less exposed than many and quite possibly more to come at this trip. Booking of McDonald a positive.

Sooqaan^p¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 62| CD

13/2

Four-time C&D winner who went close here last time out over 7f. Not always consistent but probably has one in him from this handicap mark and can't be ruled out with trainer/jockey combining to good effect of late.

Long Socks²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 61

6/1

Took a big step forward when dropped to 1m3f here last time out when second of 13. Still a maiden but claims if he can build on that down in trip here from his low draw.

Eponina²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 61| D

16/1

Yet to win in her 11 AW starts but her better efforts have come at this course, albeit over shorter trips. Ultimately well beaten here last time out and perhaps one to watch at present.

Thunder Buddy¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhona Pindar⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 60| C

7/2

Showed little in four turf runs this summer but has done much better since switched to Fibresand, building on a good third here last month with a course win last week (Sooqaan second). 5lb rise fair and possibly more to come up in trip.

King Christophe⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: J F Egan| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 58| D

6/1

Has changed yards four times in recent seasons but ran well on debut for this trainer last time, doing too much too soon. Leading claims if ridden with a little more restraint.

Form: 176005-

Havelock¹⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 55

11/1

A maiden after 18 starts and has finished tailed off on each of his last six outings. Hard to enthuse over returning from an absence.

Form: 804/900-

Boots And Spurs^v¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 8-9| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 53| CD

20/1

Two-time C&D winner. Had been running well here before a very disappointing effort when last of 12 here last time out. Needs forgiving that run but remains well-handicapped and yard are in form at present.

Forecasts

Thunder Buddy (7/2), Philamundo (7/2), Alonso Cano (5/1), Long Socks (6/1), King Christophe (6/1), Sooqaan (13/2), Bond Angel (8/1), Havelock (11/1), Eponina (16/1), Boots And Spurs (20/1), Ruled By The Moon (20/1), War Of Succession (25/1), Frangarry (25/1), Major Crispies (33/1)

BOND ANGEL was impressive when winning over course and distance last time out and she's expected to go close after just a moderate rise in the weights. King Christophe may have more to come on this surface while Boots And Spurs needs to bounce back from a disappointment last time but remains well-handicapped.
