Woobay⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 63| D

2/1

Off the mark in convincing fashion when making all in 9-runner handicap at Catterick (5f, soft, 3/1) 9 days ago, keeping on well. Carries a penalty, but she can follow up in her current form.

Form: 225821

Premier Option^p,t⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64

33/1

Remains a maiden after 9 runs. Not in the same form as previous outing when twelfth of 13 in handicap at York (5.4f, good, 50/1) 77 days ago. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 00-3640

Aconcagua Mountain^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 63| BF| D

9/1

Gained first win of the season at Ayr in September. After just 3 days off, bumped start when fourth of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft, 4/6) 19 days ago. No surprise to see him bounce back.

Form: 374214

Crypto Quest¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty| T: I W McInnes| OR: 62

7/1

Made a winning reappearance at Doncaster in June. 11/1, failed to build on promise of previous run when fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 17 days ago, racing freely. Others look stronger.

Form: 602355

Dapper Man¹⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 62| D

33/1

Won at Southwell (5f) in March and May. Not discredited under a penalty when sixth of 7 in handicap at the same C&D when last seen 5 months ago. Remains well handicapped on old form if ready to go on return.

Form: 312216

(7)

Lady Celia⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: A D Brown| OR: 60| C| D

11/2

Course winner who was successful at Nottingham in July. Again ran respectably when fourth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D a week ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Shortlisted.

Form: 414634

(8)

Elzaal⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 59| BF| CD

9/4

Five-time C&D winner, with latest victory here in March. Quickly left behind a lesser effort when second of 11 in handicap back at this C&D (7/2) a week ago, conceding first run. Not taken lightly.

Form: 965302

(5)

Nautical Dream^b1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Laura Pearson| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 56

14/1

Not seen to best effect at Beverley on handicap debut, but never on terms when sixth of 8 in similar event at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft, 10/1) 24 days ago. Improvement required with blinkers on 1st time.

Form: 74576

Forecasts

Woobay (2/1), Elzaal (9/4), Lady Celia (11/2), Crypto Quest (7/1), Aconcagua Mountain (9/1), Nautical Dream (14/1), Dapper Man (33/1), Premier Option (33/1)

WOOBAY opened her account in good style when making all at Catterick 9 days ago and she can score again now that she's up and running. The main danger could be five-time C&D winner Elzaal, who wasted no time getting back to form when runner-up here a week ago, while Lady Celia can also give her running once more.
