Mitrosonfire⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 88| C| D

9/2

Course winner. Not in the same form as previous outing when ninth of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 5 days ago, though drawn wide. Can make his presence felt back down in grade.

Form: 045239

Sterling Knight⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: David Probert| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 88| D

28/1

Successful at Windsor in June. However, below form since his next start, in first-time blinkers when fifth of 6 in handicap (4/1) at Yarmouth (6f, soft) 41 days ago. Back below his last winning mark but others more persuasive.

Form: 130075

Caragio^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: R Havlin| T: R A Teal| OR: 88| CD

4/1

Making all-weather debut, returned to winning ways in 11-runner handicap (9/1) at this C&D 16 days ago by ½ length from Follow Your Heart, keeping on well. Respected despite his wide draw.

Form: 4-05061

Haziym^t⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 87

100/1

Capable of useful form on turf in France last year. Down the field all 4 starts for current yard, though, tenth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, heavy, 66/1) when last seen in August.

Form: 047-880

Zero Carbon^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 85| CD

6/1

Successful twice over C&D this year, with latest win in August. Never landed a blow when fifth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 25 days ago, but should be suited by return to this longer trip. Major player.

Form: 198125

Wild Side¹²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 86| BF| D

22/1

Completed hat-trick when scoring at Redcar in June, before returning lame when last of 9 in handicap (7/4) at Newmarket (1m, good) 6 days later. Could get back on track following a break.

Form: 9-21119

Al Rufaa^h¹⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 84| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Has struggled for form this season, eighth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in June. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Fellowes.

Form: 29-9788

Follow Your Heart^t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: T E Whelan| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 82| CD

17/2

Won first 3 starts this year, with latest victory over this C&D in March. Again ran well when ½-length second of 11 to Caragio in handicap (11/1) at this C&D 16 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 700632

Vultar^p1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: C G Cox| OR: 82| BF

9/2

Placed all 4 starts so far, 4/6, headed near line when second of 11 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and could have more to offer as he makes handicap debut.

Form: 2-232

(1)

Vermilion²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 82| D

10/1

Opened account at Newmarket (7f) on final start last year. Failed to come on from recent run when ninth of 11 in handicap at the same C&D (7f, good to firm, 14/1) 25 days ago. Still remains early days, though.

Form: 331-39

Soar Above¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 81| CD

28/1

Has won 8 times at this course, including 3 over C&D. Unsuited by conditions when last of 7 in handicap at Leicester (7f, heavy, 28/1) 15 days ago. Could fare better back at this venue.

Form: 333247

Temple Bruer^b,t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 79

28/1

Back up in trip, returned to form when fourth of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 13 days ago. On a workable mark if building on his latest effort.

Forecasts

Caragio (4/1), Vultar (9/2), Mitrosonfire (9/2), Al Rufaa (11/2), Zero Carbon (6/1), Follow Your Heart (17/2), Vermilion (10/1), Hieronymus (10/1), Wild Side (22/1), Sterling Knight (28/1), Temple Bruer (28/1), Soar Above (28/1), Red Maids (33/1), Haziym (100/1)

Having won twice over C&D this year, ZERO CARBON's run of good form came to a halt at Wolverhampton last time but he is taken to bounce back returned to 7f. The 4-y-o can get the better of Mitrosonfire, who can leave his latest effort behind as he drops back down in grade, with recent C&D winner Caragio another who enters calculations.
