Wimpole Hall^p⁶⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W Jarvis| OR: 67| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (12f) 64 days ago, running on. Sneaks into this 0-65 company and could have a say in proceedings.

Form: 00-4836

Arabic Welcome¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁷⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 64

8/1

14/1, probably needed the run after 6 months off when eighth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Back up in trip and should be much sharper today.

Form: 136558

Eaglesglen^b,t³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: N Callan| T: Tom Clover| OR: 64| BF| CD

Beyond Infinity¹²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 63

16/1

8/1, followed a good run with a below-par one when eleventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f). Off 120 days. Others more persuasive.

Form: 204220

Athers^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Robert Tart| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 66| CD

85/40

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D (14/1) 14 days ago. Looks capable of winning again around here so not discounted up 7 lb.

Form: 869481

Engrave^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 62| CD

16/1

4-time C&D winner. Latest win here in April. 50/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, soft) 17 days ago. Much more interesting back on the all-weather so could play a leading role.

Form: 107559

Luna Wish^h1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: C Hobson| OR: 62| CD

50/1

4-time course winner. 28/1, first run since leaving George Margarson when last of 9 in handicap at this course (8f) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Hooded for 1st time.

Western Beat³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 65| CD

11/4

C&D winner. 15/2, improved over 2f longer trip after 5 months off when second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 30 days ago, just failing. Gone well both all-weather starts and may do better.

Form: 515-482

(10)

Meisterzinger^p³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M D I Usher| OR: 63| CD

12/1

First run since leaving Sir Mark Prescott Bt when 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 15-runner handicap at this C&D 37 days ago, suited by increase in trip. 4 lb rise fair.

Form: 60-7801

(4)

Power On³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J F Egan| T: J Butler| OR: 63| CD

18/1

C&D winner here in August. 66/1, well held back down markedly in trip when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 32 days ago.

Form: 947170

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Georgia Lea⁽⁷⁾| T: Martin Smith| OR: 58

50/1

100/1, last of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 18 days ago. Not one to be interested in.

Form: 440560

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: L Morris| T: S Woods| OR: 45

50/1

14/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Proving more miss than hit so others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Athers (85/40), Western Beat (11/4), Arabic Welcome (8/1), Eaglesglen (17/2), Wimpole Hall (9/1), Meisterzinger (12/1), Captain St Lucifer (12/1), Beyond Infinity (16/1), Engrave (16/1), Power On (18/1), Morani Kali (50/1), Luna Wish (50/1), Full Moon Rising (50/1)

Several in with a chance but it could pay to side with ENGRAVE. Julia Feilden's charge is yet to score away from this venue and, having slipped back down in the weights, she's taken to notch a fifth C&D victory. Athers proved better than ever to open his account over C&D a fortnight ago so could give the selection most to think about, ahead of Western Beat and Wimpole Hall.
