Cornerstone Lad²⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 74| CD

10/1

Fairly useful on the Flat, but off since pulled up over hurdles at Fontwell 8 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his return to this sphere.

Form: 3521/41-

Lopes Dancer²⁰⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: J Fanning| T: W Bethell| OR: 73| CD

33/1

C&D winner but off since winning 4-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 6 months ago. Can't be discounted despite his absence.

Form: 9-42181

Carausius¹⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 70

10/1

5/1, last of 6 in handicap at Ripon (12f, soft). Off 159 days. Looks competitive on form if shrugging off latest effort after a break.

Form: 44-1536

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| BF| D

3/1

3 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win at Musselburgh in September. Good second of 12 in handicap (11/4) at Catterick (13.9f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 741652

Tindrum^h¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁷⁾| T: H Main| OR: 66

6/1

Embolden²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 65| C| D

11/2

Course winner. Latest win at Salisbury in August. Good third of 14 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, soft, 25/1) 26 days ago. Unreliable type, however.

Form: 212183

Socially Shady^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Hart| T: K R Burke| OR: 64

12/1

Temperamental sort. 14/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Haydock (16.2f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others are preferred.

Form: 925434

12/1

Winner at Lingfield in September. 20/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 655178

Berry Edge⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 67

10/1

Winner at Beverley in July. 8/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 6-55135

Red Derek^p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: L Williamson| OR: 60

15/2

One win from 26 Flat runs. 14/1, good third of 18 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, heavy) 8 days ago. Others have still achieved more.

Forecasts

Bollin Neil (3/1), Embolden (11/2), Tindrum (6/1), Red Derek (15/2), Cornerstone Lad (10/1), Berry Edge (10/1), Carausius (10/1), Socially Shady (12/1), Colonial Love (12/1), Arch Moon (16/1), Lopes Dancer (33/1), The Twisler (50/1)

Lots of these are hard to fancy, so BOLLIN NEIL looks the way to go in his bid for a fourth win of 2021 on the back of his good Catterick second. Lopes Dancer can boast a C&D win and is feared most despite having an absence to overcome, while Carausius needs considering too if back on song after his lay-off.
