Brother In Arms⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A W Carroll| OR: 49

10/1

Broke his maiden at Goodwood (1m1f) three runs ago. Has not followed that up in his two outings since though. Came home fifth of 10 on his latest start at Brighton (1m4f). Down in trip again. One to think about.

Form: 056135

Captain Peaky^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: B A Curtis| T: L Bailey| OR: 40

10/1

Has yet to score in 30 attempt. He has been disappointing on his last two runs, including when he was sixth of 11 at Southwell (1m) earlier this month. Down 5lb in the weights but others appeal more.

Form: 707506

Dutch Artist^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 45

20/1

His form has been largely poor this year with his latest outing came at Wolverhampton (1m1½f) where he was eighth of 13. Has been eased a further 2lb to a new career low mark which he can't be ignored from.

Form: 775678

Emilene^t1³¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: S Donohoe| T: J Groucott| OR: 40

50/1

Remains a maiden after nine starts. Has not appeared since she was ninth of 13 at Southwell (1m) back in December. Set for her opening run for her new yard here. She will wear a tongue-tie for the first time. Best to watch.

Form: 08/5369-

Emojie^b³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: B Doyle| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 47

7/2

Produced his best performance to date last time over this C&D as he was second of 11. He led with 2f to go but was unable to match the winner in the closing stages. Has gone up just 1lb. Leading contender.

Form: 808062

(6)

Merdon Castle³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 46| C

9/1

Has not scored since he was successful at Carlisle (6f) in May 2017. He has not been too far away on his last two appearances, including when he was 2¼L off the winner on his latest start over this C&D. One for the shortlist.

Form: 308935

(3)

Optima Petamus^b⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Robinson| T: L Bailey| OR: 45| D

16/1

Dual purpose gelding who has only once scored in 50 career appearances. Was seventh of 10 on his latest run which came over hurdles at Southwell (1m7½f). Best to watch on his return to the Flat.

Form: 604646

(2)

Rosarno^b,t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 48| D

3/1

Has fallen down the weights recently, however, he did hit the frame last time out when he was third of 14 at Kempton (1m). Is now off a 1lb lower mark in the weights. One for the shortlist from this mark.

Form: 069043

(14)

Roser Moter^p,t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 40

50/1

Her sole success came at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in May 2018. She has not come close to scoring so far this year, including on her most recent appearance where she was eighth of 14 at Southwell (1m). Down 6lb but still hard to fancy.

Form: 890778

(11)

Sir Magnum^b1¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 48

9/1

Is still looking for his first win after eight starts. He came close to victory at Windsor (1m) back in July when he was second of 11, while he was fourth of 14 on his last run at Kempton (1m). Blinkers are on for the first time. One to consider.

Form: 7-02704

(7)

Squire^b,t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 50| CD

16/1

A two-time C&D winner whose last success came in November 2018. He was third of 15 over this C&D back in September. Was a long behind on his latest effort at Southwell (1m) though. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 076380

(1)

Sunshine Coast⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 47

6/1

Has shown very little in his six starts so far. He was ninth of 16 at this course over 1m2f last time after going off at 12/1. The handicapper has eased him 3lb and he is down in trip now. Needs to improve though.

Form: 408-009

(12)

Clipsham Tiger^h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 47

16/1

Yet to prevail in 11 appearances to date but he has produced some encouraging performances recently. He was second of 10 on his penultimate run at Beverley (1m½f). Was disappointing last time at Kempton (1m). Not one to ignore.

Forecasts

Rosarno (3/1), Emojie (7/2), Doogan's Warren (4/1), Sunshine Coast (6/1), Merdon Castle (9/1), Sir Magnum (9/1), Brother In Arms (10/1), Captain Peaky (10/1), Clipsham Tiger (16/1), Squire (16/1), Optima Petamus (16/1), Dutch Artist (20/1), Emilene (50/1), Roser Moter (50/1)

EMOJIE performed well over this C&D last time and he can go one place better on his latest attempt as he remains off a very winnable mark. Rosarno produced his best run in a while when he hit the frame over this distance at Kempton. Take him to build upon that here, while Merdon Castle was in contention over this C&D in the closing stages last time and should enter your calculations on his return to this track.
