C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner here in July. 3/1, good second of 8 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 44 days ago. Back up in trip. Could make his presence felt if he settles fully.

Super Den¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Levi Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: T Kent| OR: 70

11/2

4/1, much improved when winning 12-runner handicap at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Others more persuasive.

Form: 68-0841

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: H Crouch| T: P R Chamings| OR: 69

9/1

3/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 38 days ago, no match for winner. Makes tapeta debut. Still not fully exposed and merits respect.

Motawaafeq¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 69| C

33/1

Course winner. 10/1, respectable 4½ lengths fifth of 12 to Super Den in handicap at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago, doing too much too soon. One to consider.

100/1

Twelfth of 13 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 33 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

9/1

18/1

Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 50/1) 24 days ago, left poorly placed. Makes tapeta debut. Visor on 1st time. Needs headgear to spark a revival.

3/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in October. 5/4, very good second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 21 days ago, conceding first run. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 423112

7/1

Course winner. Winner here in October. 7/1, good third of 11 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 35 days ago. Should give another good account.

Dream Harder⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 64

10/1

Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap (9/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 42 days ago, needing stronger gallop. First run for yard after leaving Jamie Osborne. One to note from a handy mark.

Forecasts

Bora Bora (11/4), Cloch Nua (3/1), Super Den (11/2), Brains (13/2), Kenilworth King (7/1), Surprise Picture (9/1), Raqraaq (9/1), Dream Harder (10/1), Giovanni Baglione (18/1), Motawaafeq (33/1), Mr Trick (100/1)

CLOCH NUA is thriving at the moment and was unlucky not to complete the hat-trick at Lingfield 3 weeks ago. Back at the scene of his two previous wins, he is a confident selection to resume winning ways at the possible expense of Super Den, who was well supported prior to making a winning AW debut at Kempton last time. Brains is another one to consider with blinkers back on. Bora Bora is another one to consider.
