150/1

Opened account at Kempton in January. After 8 months off, first run since leaving Andrew Balding when last of 9 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, heavy, 66/1) 2 weeks ago. Needs to leave her recent run well behind.

At Liberty³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: R Kingscote| T: M L W Bell| OR: 70| D

9/2

Latest win at Haydock in June. Respectable efforts on his last 2 starts, fifth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 35 days ago. Can give his running once again.

Form: 714665

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Menzies| OR: 68| D

16/1

Highwaygrey^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| D

7/2

Shaped better than the result when seventh of 11 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 10 days ago, repeatedly meeting trouble from over 2f out. Well handicapped on old form and he could be ready to take advantage.

Form: 763557

Busby^p⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 68

16/1

Stepped up on his recent run when 1¼ lengths third of 11 to the reopposing Jewel Maker in handicap (50/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 42 days ago, nearest finish. Task is now to build on his latest effort.

Form: 2-65393

Leitzel¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70

17/2

Back down in trip, not discredited when fourth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (10f, heavy, 14/1) 17 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Could fare better back on firmer ground.

Form: 075964

Billy Roberts^p¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: S Whitaker| OR: 65| D

12/1

With cheekpieces left off, not in the same form as previous outing when seventh of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good, 33/1) 2 weeks ago. Without a win this year, but he's on a workable mark with the headgear back on

Form: 052427

Taritino^h¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 68| C

9/1

Only win came at this course last year. Took step back in right direction when sixth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 11 days ago. Has eased further in the weights and could still have more to offer at this trip.

Form: 276066

(13)

Contrast¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 64| D

9/1

Won at Carlisle in July and has run at least as well when second on his last 2 starts, only narrowly denied in 10-runner handicap at Beverley (9.9f, heavy, 9/1) 17 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 961722

(5)

Al Hargah^b¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 68| D

13/2

Successful twice this season, with latest win at Newbury in August. Seemed unsuited by conditions when seventh of 10 in handicap at Sandown (10f, heavy, 5/1) 17 days ago. No surprise to see her bounce back.

Form: 232137

(12)

Jewel Maker¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62| CD

16/1

C&D winner in August but below form on his 3 starts since, seventh of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy, 28/1) 11 days ago. The drop back down in grade could help, though.

Form: 441707

Lunar Landscape⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: T Eaves| T: N Tinkler| OR: 63

25/1

In first-time blinkers, run of good form halted when seventh of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm, 11/4) 44 days ago. Back up in trip and headgear discarded on first run for yard after leaving Eve Johnson Houghton.

Form: 543227

Khangai^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: M G Rimell| OR: 62| D

11/1

Off the mark at Chepstow in June. In first-time cheekpieces, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good, 9/1) 20 days ago. Headgear now left off with regular tongue strap reapplied. More needed.

Form: 731726

Shifter¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 54

25/1

Gained a first success on turf at Ayr in August. However, lesser effort when sixth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (1m) 11 days ago. Others preferred as he goes back up in trip.

Form: 7-61676

Forecasts

Highwaygrey (7/2), At Liberty (9/2), Al Hargah (13/2), Leitzel (17/2), Taritino (9/1), Contrast (9/1), Khangai (11/1), Billy Roberts (12/1), Jewel Maker (16/1), Busby (16/1), Dogged (16/1), Shifter (25/1), Lunar Landscape (25/1), Ring Fenced (150/1)

A competitive-looking handicap, with preference for HIGHWAYGREY who looked unlucky not to finish closer having repeatedly met trouble at this C&D last time. He is taken to see off the challenge of Contrast, who produced his best effort of the season when runner-up at Beverley on his latest outing, with Al Hargah another who enters calculations.
