Mark's Choice¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: S England| OR: 79| CD

3/1

Four-time C&D winner. Career best when winning 16-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 20/1) 17 days ago, driven out. 4 lb rise fair and should be firmly in the mix once again.

Form: 345071

I Am A Dreamer¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: P J McDonald| T: P T Midgley| OR: 79| CD

9/4

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 16 to Mark's Choice in handicap (8/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago. Now 5 lb better off with that rival.

Princess Power^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: O McSweeney⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 75| D

11/2

Seventeen runs since last win in 2019. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable seventh of 13 in handicap at York (5f, good to firm, 7/1) 13 days ago. Down another 2 lb and she needs considering.

Form: 2-56437

Pivoting⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76| D

16/1

14/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to soft). Off 94 days and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 81-6209

Case Key^b¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: B A Curtis| T: M Appleby| OR: 71| CD

15/2

C&D winner. Latest win at Nottingham in July. 14/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 7-67616

Ustath¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 65| D

17/2

9/1, respectable second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 16 days ago, no match for winner. Just 1-14 on turf and may again find one or two too good.

Form: 302562

(3)

Wade's Magic^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63| BF

11/2

Creditable third of 9 in handicap (11/4) at this course (5f, good) 8 days ago, slowly away. 1 lower now and well worth another try at this trip, she he has to enter calculations.

Form: 372373

I AM A DREAMER has slipped to an attractive mark and returned to form when beaten 1½ lengths into fourth by Mark's Choice in the C&D Great St Wilfrid consolation race 17 days ago. Armed with a 5 lb pull, Paul Midgley 's sprinter is taken to reverse those placings and emerge on top this time. Mark's Choice evidently excels here and is second choice ahead of Princess Power.
