Dream Machine^b,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: R Havlin| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 70| D

28/1

3/1 and blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good) 17 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Fairly useful on the Flat, looked rusty at Bath last month.

Form: 20/0-458

Elmejor¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: R Kingscote| T: K Jewell| OR: 70| C

11/1

Course winner. Offered little after 4 months off/breathing operation when twelfth of 14 in handicap (80/1) at Kempton (8f) 16 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 62-8070

Dark Company²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 72

10/1

Unreliable sort. Ran badly when last of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 24 days ago. Needs to put that effort behind to feature.

Form: 662349

Central City^p³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Mr Bradley Furniss⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 69| CD

40/1

C&D winner. 150/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 34 days ago. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Ian Williams. Cheekpieces back on. Easy to look elsewhere.

Union Spirit^p⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 67| D

14/1

Probably needed the run after 4 months off when eighth of 10 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm, 20/1) 78 days ago. Appearances have been sporadic this year so maybe best watched.

Form: 29-4898

Dandy Maestro¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: K Shoemark| T: R Spencer| OR: 69

18/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 11/1, seen to maximum effect when sixth of 10 in maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 18 days ago, having run of race. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 646

Maysong²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 66

18/5

One win from 22 Flat runs. 15/2, first run since leaving Ed Dunlop when ninth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. Significantly up in trip. Can make presence felt.

Form: 922539

Vocatus^t,v²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Appleby| OR: 65

11/4

9/2, didn't need to improve to win 19-runner handicap at Redcar (8f, soft) 24 days ago, better placed than most. Up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Not taken lightly.

Form: 544421

Eventful⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J Quinn| T: J & S Best| OR: 64WS

50/1

Fair form on the Flat for Mick Quinn last year but no real impact over hurdles/Flat since joining this yard. Has had a breathing op since but perhaps best watched unless the betting hints otherwise.

Form: 25272-8

Act Naturally²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁷⁾| T: S Woods| OR: 65| D

40/1

Winner at Ffos Las in August. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 29 days ago. Needs to leave a couple of below-par efforts behind to feature.

9/2

C&D winner here in September. 12/1, ran at least as well in defeat when third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 34 days ago. Can give another good account.

Forecasts

Vocatus (11/4), Maysong (18/5), Meisterzinger (9/2), Kentucky Kingdom (6/1), Dark Company (10/1), Elmejor (11/1), Azets (11/1), Bayston Hill (14/1), Union Spirit (14/1), Dandy Maestro (18/1), Dream Machine (28/1), Central City (40/1), Act Naturally (40/1), Eventful (50/1)

A host in with chances but 3-time C&D winner KENTUCKY KINGDOM is put forward as the answer. James Evans' charge looked back in form when fourth at Kempton just over a fortnight ago and, with this slightly shorter trip sure to be in his favour, he's taken to score again. Vocatus heads the dangers having ended a losing run at Redcar earlier this month, ahead of Maysong and Meisterzinger.
