2/1

Scored at Lingfield in December and not disgraced when third of 11 in handicap (9/4) at Lingfield (12f) 7 days ago given needed stiffer test. Makes fibresand debut and not ruled out for in-form yard.

Form: 41031-3

Bay Of Naples^p⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: George Bass⁽⁷⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 65| CD

4/6

Posted career best returned to fibresand when easily winning handicap over C&D 8 days ago, drawing clear quickly early in straight. Very much the one to beat turned out under 5 lb penalty.

Form: 2631-41

Kensington Art⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 67

20/1

Latest win at Ripon in July but only ninth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 97 days ago on final run for Richard Fahey. Needs to bounce back on yard debut.

16/1

C&D winner but last of 6 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 25 days ago. Down in trip with visor back on and something to prove.

Form: 43563-6

Little India^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P A Kirby| OR: 59| C

14/1

Temperamental sort and only one win from 22 runs. Below-par fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (8.1f) 18 days ago too so easy to look elsewhere.

BAY OF NAPLES produced an impressive display when landing his second C&D victory last week so is impossible to oppose turned out quickly under a 5 lb penalty. Gary Moore has his string in excellent nick so his Rafiot looks the one to chase him home on his fibresand bow.
