Secret Moment^t,v¹¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 80| CD

7/4

3/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 117 days ago, looking hard ride. Visor back on. Won similar C&D handicap this time last year and no surprise to see him go well back from a break.

Form: 3721-24

Rock Melody¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁷⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 79| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 12/1) 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Might have another race in her before the year is out and good 7 lb claimer back up.

Gavi Di Gavi^p⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Liam Keniry| T: A King| OR: 77| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Salisbury (8f, good) 45 days ago, doing too much too soon. Better on AW and not taken lightly in re-fitted headgear.

Golden Mayflower^t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 78| D

17/2

Debut winner at Lingfield a year ago. Off 3 months/had wind op, ninth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 10/1) 18 days ago. Still lightly raced and her mark has eased.

Form: 1-2609

Manhattanville^v²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 78| D

5/1

Won 2 AW novices last summer. Runner-up twice on turf this year. Off 9 weeks/visored for 1st time, creditable third of 12 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 20 days ago. Good shout if building on that.

Form: 822833

Abu Malek⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 76

10/1

Lightly-raced winner. Ninth of 14 in handicap (11/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 50 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy. Looks quirky and others more persuasive.

Form: 1-2809

Brains²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 76

14/1

Three-time winner in final third of 2021. Eighth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 20 days ago. Dropped to a handy mark and strength in the betting should be noted.

33/1

Lightly-raced winner. Off 11 months/hooded for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good, 14/1) 19 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not easy to make a case for.

9/1

4-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 14 runs this year. Respectable third of 9 in handicap (22/1) at this C&D 6 days ago. Back up in class and this looks tough.

Forecasts

Secret Moment (7/4), Manhattanville (5/1), Golden Mayflower (17/2), Chookie Dunedin (9/1), Jilly Cooper (10/1), Abu Malek (10/1), Ibiza Rocks (10/1), Rock Melody (12/1), Brains (14/1), Freedom And Wheat (16/1), Gavi Di Gavi (22/1), Laheg (33/1)

SECRET MOMENT has finished first and second in 2 starts over C&D and a big run could be the on the way back from a break and with a visor re-fitted. Manhattanville is a key player after an encouraging comeback here 3 weeks ago, with Rock Melody another to consider under Taylor Fisher.
