Love Dreams^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 87| CD

6/4

A C&D winner here. He was successful at Wolverhampton (7f) three runs ago. Was fifth of 14 last time at Kempton (1m) on the AW where he was beaten by 2½L. Will need to concede weight to the majority of the field but he is a leading contender.

Form: 383175

Shady Mccoy²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: S Donohoe| T: Ian Williams| OR: 85| D

9/2

Experienced gelding who has won nine times in his career but his last success was in October 2017. Came home 10th of 14 on the AW at Kempton (1m) on his latest attempt. Big player at this level.

Form: 042040

Tomily⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: A Kirby| T: D O'Meara| OR: 80

4/1

Completed a hat-trick of wins earlier this year when he scored at Catterick (5f). Form has been mixed since then. He was only 1¼L away last time at Newcastle (6f) when he was fourth of 11. Up in trip now. One for the shortlist.

Form: 028674

Mardle^p1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 78| D

8/1

His sole success came at Newcastle (7f) in November 2018. Has performed much better on the AW surface than turf, although he could only finish seventh of 14 last time at Newcastle (1m). Cheekpieces are on for the first time. Not one to ignore.

Form: 1-28587

Fuwairt³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 76| CD

8/1

A C&D winner whose last victory came on the AW at Kempton (7f) back in February. Returned to action at Kempton (6f) earlier this month for the first time since April where he came home eighth of 10. Down 2lb. Capable off this mark.

Highland Acclaim^h⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: D O'Meara| OR: 68| D

33/1

Was successful twice earlier this year but his form recently has been poor, including when he came home at the rear of an 11 runner field over this C&D on his latest outing. Others appeal more.

Onebaba^b1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 68

16/1

Remains a maiden after seven appearances. Switched yards back in September and he has been well held on two starts since then. He was sixth of 11 over this C&D last time. Has been eased 2lb. Blinkers are on for the first time. Needs to improve.

Form: 636666

Gold Hunter^t,v1¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 8-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S Flook| OR: 63| CD

14/1

A C&D winner who prevailed over this trip at Chepstow back in July. Has failed to follow that up in five runs since then. He was eighth of 12 on his latest effort at Wolverhampton (7f). Visor is on for the first time here. Others are preferred.

Form: 149478

Forecasts

Love Dreams (6/4), Tomily (4/1), Shady Mccoy (9/2), Fuwairt (8/1), Mardle (8/1), Gold Hunter (14/1), Onebaba (16/1), Highland Acclaim (33/1)

LOVE DREAMS is a C&D winner and he can have more success on his return to action here as he has the class to concede weight to the majority of this field. Shady Mccoy is the biggest challenger as he is more than good enough to score at this level despite being out of form at the moment, while Tomily should be in the mix on the evidence of his latest performance at Newcastle so take him to fill the placings.
