Hurstwood¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: P D Niven| OR: 55| C

16/1

Course winner. Ninth of 14 in handicap at this course (6f, 6/1) 18 days ago. Has dipped to a feasible mark, but others make more appeal all the same.

Form: 684469

Hostelry⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 55

11/2

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Creditable 1¾ lengths third of 12 to Zenzero in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 8 days ago, not ideally placed. One to consider.

Form: 336403

Golden Age^h⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: C Lee| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 54

11/1

18/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 64 days ago, slowly away. Looks up against it.

Form: 489767

(11)

Abnaa^v¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 54

13/2

Visored for 1st time, below form third of 13 in handicap (7/1) at this course (8f) 14 days ago. Merits consideration off this 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 563363

(12)

Zenzero^b⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 49| CD

5/1

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (10/1) at this C&D 8 days ago, sticking to task. Carries penalty. Obvious claims.

Form: 305161

(8)

Jems Bond¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Swift| T: A D Brown| OR: 53

11/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 5/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 18 days ago. Capable of taking a hand in the finish.

Form: 802604

Rocket Rod^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: G A Harker| OR: 53

17/2

50/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D 18 days ago. Remains to be seen if he'll be able to match that form, but each-way chance if able to do so.

Form: 345093

Bobby Joe Leg¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 53| CD

33/1

Three-time C&D winner. 11/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 18 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper, but needs to bounce back in a major way.

Form: 770950

(5)

Global Hope^v²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Jones| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 52

50/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Seventh of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Kempton (6f) 27 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 894607

(2)

Whipsaw¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Barry McHugh| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 53

25/1

33/1, first run since leaving Henry De Bromhead when bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D 18 days ago. Others make greater appeal.

Form: 805097

(10)

Better By Far^t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 53

20/1

Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D 18 days ago. Not without each-way hope off this 1 lb lower mark.

Form: 970926

(7)

Aquamas^p1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: M Dods| OR: 52

9/2

7/2, very good second of 10 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to soft) 35 days ago, having to pick way through. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Shortlist material.

Form: 63-0542

(13)

Bellevue Lad²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Thompson| OR: 50| D

40/1

Winner at Musselburgh in August. 8/1, last of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 29 days ago. Likely to find a few too good once more.

Form: 777130

(9)

Charlesishere^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Gray| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 50

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and, unless the headgear has a positive effect, he's likely to struggle once more.

Form: 59479

Forecasts

Aquamas (9/2), Zenzero (5/1), Jems Bond (11/2), Hostelry (11/2), Abnaa (13/2), Rocket Rod (17/2), Golden Age (11/1), Hurstwood (16/1), Better By Far (20/1), Whipsaw (25/1), Bobby Joe Leg (33/1), Bellevue Lad (40/1), Global Hope (50/1), Charlesishere (50/1)

AQUAMAS again experienced traffic problems when going agonisingly close at Ayr on her latest start and, granted better luck this time and providing that she takes to this surface, a deserved first career success may well be on the cards. Zenzero has won two of his last three starts and should be in the mix, while Hostelry, who was third in the C&D race won by Zenzero last week, also has claims.
