40/1

After 11 months off from hurdling and with cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, never involved when fifth of 8 in handicap (66/1) at Bath (14f, firm) 3 weeks ago. Should be suited by this longer trip.

Form: 6383/0-5

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 63| CD

Doublethetrouble^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 62

4/1

With headgear reapplied back up in trip, best effort this season when second of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Southwell (16.5f) 3 weeks ago. Can build on his latest effort to go one better.

Form: 550-742

Capstan^h²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: William Carson| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 62

14/1

Form has gone the wrong way this year, offering little after 3 months off when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (11.2f, good to firm, 80/1) 22 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 5-43070

Kalamity Kitty²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 62| C| D

14/1

Course winner. Made an encouraging return at this C&D in June but has gone backwards from that effort in 2 starts since, last of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (2m, heavy, 9/1) 26 days ago.

Form: 111-500

(11)

Wannabe Brave^v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 59| CD

7/2

C&D winner. 10/3, step back in right direction when third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 3 weeks ago. Has eased further in the weights and he's shortlisted returned to this venue.

Form: 374443

Berkshire Sundance²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 65| BF

5/4

Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (2m, heavy, 3/1) 26 days ago. Ran well at this C&D on his penultimate outing, so he could get involved making only his third start in a handicap.

Form: 96434

Third Batch^p,h¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods| OR: 64

11/1

Off the mark at Lingfield in July. Sixth of 7 in handicap at the same course (13f, AW, 20/1) 11 days ago, never nearer. Needs to find more as she goes up in distance.

Form: 337146

(5)

Ceejaybe^t³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 54

28/1

Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Tongue strap on for 1st time (also had a wind op), well-beaten third of 9 in minor event (150/1) at this course (12f) 35 days ago. Much more required upped in trip on his handicap bow.

Form: 703

(8)

Gino's Girl²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 53

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, failed to improve sent handicapping when sixth of 8 at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 25 days ago. Others make more appeal as she goes further up in distance.

Forecasts

Berkshire Sundance (5/4), Wannabe Brave (7/2), Doublethetrouble (4/1), Third Batch (11/1), Capstan (14/1), Kalamity Kitty (14/1), Timely Escape (16/1), Gino's Girl (25/1), Ceejaybe (28/1), Overstate (33/1), Genuflex (40/1)

With headgear reapplied and returned to a staying trip, DOUBLETHETROUBLE produced his best effort of the season when runner-up at Southwell 3 weeks ago and he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Overstate won at this C&D on his only previous start on the Flat this year and is feared most, ahead of Wannabe Brave.
