Sur Mer^p³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 69| D

Unreliable individual. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (11/4) at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) 37 days ago, kept up to work. Makes tapeta debut. Not an obvious sort to follow up.

Dynamo Walt¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: D Shaw| OR: 67| CD

20/1

4-time C&D winner. 50/1, last of 9 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Becoming well treated but will probably need a bit more time to find his form.

Form: 1-34589

(9)

Secretfact⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: P Cosgrave| T: M S Saunders| OR: 67| CD

5/1

Ungenuine type. C&D winner. 10/1, creditable 2½ lengths second of 15 to Zulu Zander in handicap at Bath (5f, firm) 7 days ago. Hard to know if he'll be in the same form.

Form: 676252

(4)

King Robert^p,t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: C Wallis| OR: 67| C| D

Slowmo^h1,t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Russell⁽⁵⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 63| C| D

5/1

Course winner. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 17/2) 7 days ago. Hood on 1st time. In form and likely to be well positioned from handy draw.

Form: 070U33

(7)

Dream House^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61| BF| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Catterick in August. 7/2, below form third of 8 in handicap at Redcar (5f, soft) 12 days ago, having hopeless task from position. One to take a chance on.

Form: 9-41063

(11)

Twice As Likely²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 61| D

Forecasts

Zulu Zander (7/2), Secretfact (5/1), Dream House (5/1), Shining (5/1), Slowmo (5/1), Dana Forever (5/1), Sur Mer (6/1), King Robert (14/1), Dynamo Walt (20/1), Twice As Likely (33/1), Red Stripes (50/1)

DREAM HOUSE was much better than the result at Redcar last time and is below his last winning mark, so he's worth chancing in a race that should pan out ideally for his patient style. Recent winners Zulu Zander and Shining are obvious dangers provided they don't scupper each other's chance up front.
