Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 72| CD

5/1

Took a step forward back from a break when landing a C&D novice in July. Not disgraced when third under a penalty next time and back to best when third on nursery debut at Beverley (5f) 31 days ago, switched final 1f and keeping on. Interesting.

HIt the frame on 6 of first 10 starts and belatedly off the mark in 6-runner Chepstow maiden (5f) 17 days ago, comfortably. More on his plate back in handicap company.

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in nursery at Chepstow (6.1f, good to soft, 10/1) 20 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Needs to bounce back.

Dark Crusade¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 68

10/3

Camacho gelding. Promise on 2 of his 3 starts in novice/maiden company, racing alone far side when third of 7 at Redcar (5f, good) 15 days ago. May have more to offer now tackling nurseries.

Castan¹¹

4/1

Winner at Musselburgh (5f) in July. Creditable second of 10 in nursery (16/5) at this C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Teatime Tipple^h¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mathers| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 63

11/1

Promise on second start when runner-up at Ripon (5f) in April. Well below that level next 3 starts but did at least run best race stepping back in to nurseries when keeping on for fourth over C&D 11 days ago. Task now is to back that up.

Maiden who got back on track when third of 8 in nursery at Ripon (5f, good to firm, 16/1) 29 days ago, headed final 100 yds and no extra dying strides. Not out of things here with a repeat.

Forecasts

Dark Crusade (10/3), Castan (4/1), Betweenthesticks (4/1), Let's Go Hugo (5/1), Doctor Mozart (13/2), Teatime Tipple (11/1), Universi Dominici (12/1), Lola's Moment (18/1)

CASTAN produced just about his best effort yet when edged out close home over C&D 11 days ago and a repeat should see Bryan Smart's charge firmly in the mix once more. C&D winner Let's Go Hugo is also of interest on the back of his solid Beverley third last month, with Doctor Mozart and Betweenthesticks next best.
