The Daley Express⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 85| D

8/1

Has won five times on turf but is 0-5 on the AW. He was only beaten by a neck at Windsor (5f) the last time he was off this mark. He was fourth of eight on his latest start at Bath (5f). Has each-way claims.

King Robert^v¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: David Egan| T: C Wallis| OR: 84| C| D

20/1

Prevailed at Chelmsford (5f) on the AW back in March. His form recently has dropped which means he fallen down the weights. He had just one horse behind him last time in an eight runner field at Sandown (5f). Capable off this mark.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: E J Alston| OR: 84| CD

5/2

Was successful over this C&D back in January but has been unable to add to his tally since then, although he has run well recently without success, including latest at Doncaster (5f) where he was third of nine. Leading player off this mark.

Merry Banter¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Bentley| T: P T Midgley| OR: 84| D

9/1

Scored at Epsom (5f) two starts back by 1L after staying on strongly in the closing stages to hit the front with 100 yards to go. Could not follow up last time at Yarmouth (5f) as he was fourth of six. Worth considering.

Form: 426014

You're Cool^t⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Balding| OR: 81| CD

16/1

Has prevailed four times over this C&D. His last success came at Chelmsford (5f) three runs ago. Had just one horse behind him on his latest effort at Chelmsford (5f) in an eight runner contest. Needs to bounce back.

Foxy Forever^b,t¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: M Wigham| OR: 78| CD

9/2

Has had a busy campaign with his sole success coming at Bath (5f) back in June. He has not been away on his recent outings, including when he finished third of six at Yarmouth (5f). Is now 1lb lower than his last winning mark. One for the shortlist.

Form: 153573

Nibras Again¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 77| D

7/1

Still looking for his opening win on the AW after seven starts. His form has not been great recently on turf. Is down 2lb from his latest effort at Doncaster (5f) where he was seventh of 18. Others make more of an appeal.

Form: 212997

Glory Fighter⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: G Mosse| T: C Hills| OR: 78| D

16/1

Scored on the second start of his career at Lingfield (5f) but has been unable to add to that since. His form this season has been poor, including last time at Bath (5f) wheee he was seventh of eight. Others are preferred.

Form: 758-407

(5)

Secretfact¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: J Quinn| T: M S Saunders| OR: 77| CD

9/1

A C&D winner here last year. He prevailed over this distance at Bath (5f) on his latest start by a short-head in a close finish. Has gone up 3lb in the weights so he will need to find more but he is one to consider.

Form: 523241

Arishka¹²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 73| D

50/1

Recorded back-to-back successes earlier this year, one of which was on the AW at Newcastle (5f). She was sixth of 11 last time at Redcar (5f). Remains off the same mark so needs to produce much more here.

Forecasts

Acclaim The Nation (5/2), Foxy Forever (9/2), Nibras Again (7/1), The Daley Express (8/1), Secretfact (9/1), Merry Banter (9/1), A Sure Welcome (9/1), Glory Fighter (16/1), You're Cool (16/1), King Robert (20/1), Arishka (50/1)

ACCLAIM THE NATION has already won over this C&D this year and he can return to winning ways here off this mark. His latest attempt at Doncaster was encouraging so expect him to build upon that in this sprint contest. Secretfact is looking to follow up from his recent success at Bath and he can go close to another win, while Foxy Forever must be respected now he is lower than his last winning mark so he has a great chance of finishing in the frame.
