Sweet Reward⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 84| D

5/1

6/1, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 9 days ago, slowly away. Eased 1 lb and down in class here, so it's not hard to envisage him taking a hand in the finish.

Form: 2917-63

Lawn Ranger¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 81| CD

7/1

Three-time C&D winner. Creditable third of 7 in handicap (17/2) at this course (11.4f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Dropping back in trip could be a good move and he's a key player.

Form: 9208-93

(5)

Cu Chulainn²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: B J Meehan| OR: 81

13/2

Lightly-raced winner. Fifteenth of 17 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good, 40/1) 23 days ago, slowly away. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 210-0

Silver Gunn⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: N Callan| T: M Botti| OR: 80| D

15/2

7/2, fourth of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 67 days ago. Remains 2 lb above last winning mark and, chances are, he'll find one or two too good.

Form: 12197-4

Curtiz²²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Morrison| OR: 78| BF| D

4/1

Five wins from 18 Flat runs. 8½ lengths eleventh of 14 to Sweet Reward in handicap at Goodwood (9f, good to firm, 3/1) when last seen in September. Had the worst of the draw that day and better can be expected here.

Painless Potter¹⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 77

15/2

Bit below form third of 8 in juvenile hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, soft, 6/5) 180 days ago. Below par latest start in this sphere and minor place money is probably the best he can hope for.

Form: 447337-

Carp Kid^p²³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 71| C| D

11/4

Course winner. 14/1, creditable third of 20 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good) 23 days ago, sticking to task. Needs taking seriously off the same mark.

Form: 4221-23

Forecasts

Carp Kid (11/4), Curtiz (4/1), Sweet Reward (5/1), Cu Chulainn (13/2), Lawn Ranger (7/1), Silver Gunn (15/2), Painless Potter (15/2)

LAWN RANGER appeared to benefit from a more positive ride when third here a fortnight ago, and he could take some pegging back if similar tactics are deployed over this shorter trip. Sweet Reward and Carp Kid are both in with a shout, but Curtiz could be the one to follow the selection hime, provided that he is ready to roll following a break.
