Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Marco Ghiani| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 78| CD

15/8

4-time course winner. 6 wins from 21 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (9/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, responding well. Has to be taken seriously under a penalty.

5/1

First run since leaving James Ferguson when respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (2/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 12 days ago, left poorly placed. Blinkers on 1st time. Should go close.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: D K Ivory| OR: 77| D

5/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in August. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 18/1) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

14/1

10/3

C&D winner. Latest win at Yarmouth in July. Good second of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, 12/1) 26 days ago. One to consider.

9/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (6f, 17/2) 10 days ago, doing too much too soon. Must improve.

14/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 20 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in September. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 28 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 216174

Sir Rodneyredblood (15/8), Expert Opinion (10/3), Copinet (5/1), Charming Kid (5/1), Lion Ring (9/1), Buy Me Back (14/1), Storm Melody (14/1), Aleef (40/1)

BUY ME BACK has edged down the weights and she can return to winning ways here after a solid effort at Lingfield last month. Copinet looks to be a danger in first-time blinkers on just her second start for this yard. Sir Rodneyredblood is in prolific form and should be thereabouts once again.
