Nigel Nott^p³^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Henry Main⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 84| D

2/1

Unreliable type. 17/2, improved on recent efforts to win 6-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 3 days ago, just holding on. Not the easiest to win with so opposable under a penalty.

Form: 24499-1

Swiss Pride^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Megan Jordan⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 78| CD

8/1

Consistent performer. C&D winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. 22/1, back on track when third of 8 in handicap at this course (7f) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort.

Form: 282373-

Airshow^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr Patrick Millman| T: B R Millman| OR: 77| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Latest win at Bath in August. 14/1, best effort of the season when second of 13 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 26 days ago. Back up in trip. Should give another good account.

Form: 211242-

Lord P^t¹¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Fern O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 76| BF| CD

8/1

Much improved since a wind operation, winning handicaps at Carlisle and Thirsk in ready fashion. Not beaten far despite being 2 lb out of the handicap at Doncaster in September so one to note.

Igotatext^b¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 73| D

12/1

Blinkered for 1st time, again below form when seventh of 10 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 17 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 0/27707-

(2)

Tyger Bay^b,t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr R Birkett| T: C Allen| OR: 72| CD

3/1

3-time C&D winner. Four wins from 13 runs last year. Latest win here in August. 15/2, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, slowly away. Has good chance on pick of form.

Fieldsman⁷⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss S L Bowen⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 71

25/1

Run best excused when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 8/1) 76 days ago, not ideally placed. Just 1 lb above last winning mark so may feature.

Forecasts

Nigel Nott (2/1), Tyger Bay (3/1), Airshow (10/3), Lord P (8/1), Swiss Pride (8/1), Igotatext (12/1), Right Action (20/1), Fieldsman (25/1)

It was a poor start that prevented TYGER BAY getting any more competitive over C&D 17 days ago, not beaten far in sixth in the end but always on the back foot. Provided he can get away on terms, Conrad Allen's charge gets the vote to notch C&D victory number 4. Lord P was another to blow the start last time but he's feared most on reappearance, ahead of the in-form Airshow.
