Lovely Breeze^v¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Cieren Fallon| T: H Palmer| OR: 80| CD

3/1

C&D winner last July but has drawn a blank in 13 subsequent runs. Back on a favourable mark but no obvious sign she's ready to take advantage when eighth of 11 at Windsor 10 days ago.

Form: 530438

Airshow^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: R Coakley| T: B R Millman| OR: 79| D

13/2

Four wins from 14 runs this year, the latest at Bath in June. Type to bounce back from a rare poor run on AW last time.

Antiphon¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 80| D

4/1

Better than ever for win number 3 of his career at Brighton (5f) last month and he can be forgiven his subsequent eighth of 10 at Chester as he was poorly drawn.

Some Nightmare^p⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 75| BF| CD

9/2

Four-time winner last season. Started this campaign with two seconds and a win but he's been off since a disappointing effort at Chepstow in June.

Form: 24-2210

Batchelor Boy^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: J Gallagher| OR: 74| D

12/1

Last 10 turf starts have been at Brighton, including a 7f win in April. Good second over 6f there latest but a 2 lb nudge up the weights may leave him vulnerable now.

Form: 715732

Cashew¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 75| D

11/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. More miss than hit this season but recent ninth of 11 at Windsor (6f, good) can probably be forgiven (never enjoyed much daylight). William Buick takes the ride.

Form: 730449

Gold Medal^p1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Rooke| T: R Hughes| OR: 72| D

22/1

Has lost his way badly after making a promising start to his career, beating only one home in his last 4 starts. Remains to be seen whether first-time cheekpieces make any difference.

Age: 13| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 67| CD

7/1

Veteran who is a 4-time C&D winner. Returned from a 2-month break to finish 2 lengths fourth over 5f here 11 days ago. Handicapped to get involved.

Forecasts

Lovely Breeze (3/1), The Lamplighter (7/2), Antiphon (4/1), Some Nightmare (9/2), Time Step (9/2), Cashew (11/2), Airshow (13/2), Pettochside (7/1), Treacherous (8/1), Batchelor Boy (12/1), Gold Medal (22/1)

THE LAMPLIGHTER has two near misses over C&D this season and can deservedly get his head back in front now taking a slight drop in grade. The unexposed Time Step is an interesting opponent now switching to a handicap, while the teenager Pettochside is still more than capable of making his presence felt from his reduced mark.
