Cuppacoco^b²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J Garritty| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 55| D

11/1

Much better effort when going close on the AW latest in a fast run race. Every chance with a reproduction but the ground is a major query.

Night Law^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis| T: K Scott| OR: 55| CD

17/2

Twice a C&D winner in August and now 4lb higher. Disappointing in two starts since and chance revolves around a return to here proving the catalyst.

Grandma Tilly¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 55

33/1

Five-race maiden has proved regressive since finishing runner-up in a Bath novice. Hard to fancy on that run of form.

Form: 8/249-0

Carlovian^v¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford| OR: 52| CD

11/2

On a winning mark and twice successful this year including over this C&D. Has won on heavy ground and continues to race to a consistent level. Likely contender.

Form: 431654

Kellington Kitty^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy| OR: 51| D

11/2

Sole win came in a maiden handicap at Bath and less effective on the AW since. Doesn't look well handicapped and ground a query.

Vallarta¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 51| CD

5/2

10-time winner with a last success on heavy ground last month. Remains on a good mark and second on the AW since. Ideal conditions and should go close.

Form: 403612

Age: 10| Weight: 8-13| J: K Stott| T: A Berry| OR: 47| C| D

14/1

Veteran with 10 career wins and on the same mark as the latest of them in August. Likes these conditions and decent third latest. Can be inconsistent.

Furni Factors^b³³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Raul Da Silva| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 46

50/1

Has lost his way since winning a low grade handicap on the AW at Newcastle in March. Hard to fancy at present.

Picks Pinta^b¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Jamie Gormley| T: J Riches| OR: 45| D

33/1

Last turf win came back in 2016 and much better suited by quicker conditions. Badly out of form on his last three starts.

Form: 246900

Mitchum⁴⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: Barry McHugh| T: R E Barr| OR: 45| CD

25/1

Dropped 10lb since his last win over this C&D in June 2018 and while the conditions aren't an issue his very poor run of form is.

Bevsboy^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Paula Muir⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 45

50/1

Remains a maiden after 13 starts and no signs of progress or being competitive at the business end. Easy to overlook.

Forecasts

Vallarta (5/2), Chickenfortea (4/1), Carlovian (11/2), Kellington Kitty (11/2), Night Law (17/2), Cuppacoco (11/1), I'll Be Good (14/1), Mitchum (25/1), Picks Pinta (33/1), Grandma Tilly (33/1), Bevsboy (50/1), Furni Factors (50/1)

Carlovian is reliable and seeks a third win this year in conditions that pose no problem. VALLARTA also performs well on extreme ground and heads here off the back of some strong form at this level. Chickenfortea hasn't faced this ground before but is one of the more likely types to handle it and shouldn't be far away.
