Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Billy Loughnane| T: R Brisland| OR: 53| CD

9/4

C&D winner. Latest win here (7f, turf) in June. Good fifth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 14/1) 41 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces back on and not dismissed lightly.

Neptune Legend^b,t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52| CD

7/2

Blinkered for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D (AW, 18/1) 9 days ago by 2 lengths from Zakram, keeping on well. Remains with plenty of handicapping scope on old form and big shout if headgear has desired effect once more.

7/2

25/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good) 26 days ago, unable to land a blow. Others make more appeal for all he's now operating from career-low mark.

NEPTUNE LEGEND got firmly back on track sporting first-time blinkers (retained here) when cashing in off his much-reduced mark over C&D 9 days ago, doing plenty in front and seeing off re-opposing Zakram. He gets the nod to confirm those placings with the latter-named rating the chief threat. Blue Collar Lad can also get involved.
