Arranmore¹⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81| D

11/2

Bagged 3 handicaps at around 1m last term and filled runners-up spot on 3 of his last 4 starts. Had soft ground as a plausible excuse at Goodwood final start and good showing anticipated on return with yard going along nicely.

Form: 212220-

Hayadh¹⁷⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: S H James| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 81| CD

9/1

C&D winner who ran best race for a while when second at Redcar (1m) in October. Not in same form either start thereafter, latterly in an AW claimer but he has gone well fresh in the past, so not dismissed on debut for new yard.

Form: 536295-

Urban War^p⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 80| C| D

7/2

Course winner who was below his best when eighth of 10 in a Nottingham handicap (8.3f) on the back of 5 months off last week. May sharpen up for that and refitting of cheekpieces may put an extra edge on him.

Form: 22256-8

Pisanello²⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77| D

22/1

Ex-French 1m winner who ran best race for present yard when close-up fifth of 7 at Redcar (1m) in September. Never figured back at that venue final start though, and both career victories have come on heavy ground.

Form: 340650-

Casilli²⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 77| CD

7/1

Likeable mare who enjoyed a very productive 2021, readily gaining fourth course victory under today's pilot in August. Not seen to best effect at Ayr final start and no surprise to see her thereabouts on return to action.

Form: 423115-

Poet's Dawn¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76| CD

5/1

Had a busy 2021, winning pair of C&D handicaps (including this race). Exploits proved mixed thereafter but mark has eased as a result and likely he'll come on for his Redcar reappearance run 17 days ago.

Form: 37045-9

(10)

Crown Princess¹⁹⁹

16/1

Enhanced her good course record when successful over C&D in July. Performed with credit in defeat thereafter and likely she will give another good account returning from 6 months off/on back of wind op.

Zihaam^p²¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 74| CD

40/1

Six-time course winner, the latest coming over C&D back in May. However, he's a temperamental sort who ended the campaign out of sorts, off bridle long way out and never involved back here in September. Others more solid.

Form: 565250-

Visibility⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 73| D

25/1

Latest win at Southwell (1m) in January and turned in another creditable display when third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 9 days ago, headway over 1f out and keeping on. However, still to win from a mark this high.

Form: 172433

Carter Cowboy²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64

16/5

Yet to get his head in front but ended 2021 with pair of runners-up efforts at Wolverhampton/Carlisle at up to 9f. Respectable fourth on back of 7 months off at Doncaster (10.2f) in March and worth a second look from career-low mark back down in trip.

Form: 34622-4

Forecasts

Carter Cowboy (16/5), Urban War (7/2), Poet's Dawn (5/1), Arranmore (11/2), Casilli (7/1), Hayadh (9/1), Crown Princess (16/1), Pisanello (22/1), Visibility (25/1), Zihaam (40/1)

A dual C&D winner, CASILLI was impressive when defying a 4 lb lower mark to enhance her fine course record under Joanna Mason over 1¼m in August and, having not been seen to best effect on her final start at Ayr, she's fancied to make another bold bid returned to the Westwood. Carter Cowboy ran creditably on return at Doncaster and is feared, along with last year's winner Poet's Dawn and Hayadh.
