9/4

Four wins from 11 runs this year, making it back-to-back victories with a ready success in 10-runner handicap (5/1) at Newcastle (5f) 15 days ago. Not taken lightly despite a 9 lb rise in the weights.

Level Up^v³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: N Callan| T: P D Evans| OR: 76| CD

7/1

C&D winner. 5 wins from 19 runs this year, with latest success at Ffos Las in July. In first-time blinkers, below form eighth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good, 13/2) 39 days ago. Interesting contender with visor reapplied.

The Thames Boatman⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 75| BF| CD

2/1

C&D winner. Creditable second of 5 in handicap at Salisbury (5f, soft, 6/4) 78 days ago, despite typically racing freely. Can give another good account after a break.

Pop Dancer^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: A W Carroll| OR: 75| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Successful at Brighton in September but below form both starts since, ninth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 66/1) 17 days ago. Capable on a going day as he drops back down in grade/trip.

Form: 746149

Reigning Profit¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 73| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 9 runs this year, including at Ripon in May. Failed to come on for recent run when last of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Newcastle (5f) 11 days ago. Back down to his last winning mark, but others more persuasive.

Rodborough^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: A D Brown| OR: 69| BF| D

8/1

Recorded back-to-back wins at Southwell in August. Has remained in good heart both starts since, leading until the final 1f when fourth of 10 in handicap (7/4) at Newcastle (5f) 15 days ago. Has widest draw to overcome.

Jeans Maite¹³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Robinson| T: S R Bowring| OR: 69| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Turned in best effort of the season when second of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, firm, 25/1) in July. Has been off since, but did win on the back of a similar absence in December last year.

Form: 14-4042

Sarah's Verse¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Laura Pearson| T: R Harris| OR: 68| C| D

12/1

Course winner. Not discredited when fourth of 12 in handicap (8/1) at this course (6.1f) 12 days ago, nearest finish having not been ideally placed. Needs everything to drop right (often starts slowly).

Form: 358434

(6)

Pepsi Cat^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 68| D

8/1

Returned to winning ways at Bath in August. Again ran well when second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 13/2) 15 days ago, running on having had to wait for a gap. Could be thereabouts once more.

Form: 551222

Forecasts

The Thames Boatman (2/1), Jenever (9/4), Level Up (7/1), Pepsi Cat (8/1), Rodborough (8/1), Sarah's Verse (12/1), Pop Dancer (25/1), Reigning Profit (25/1), Jeans Maite (33/1)

LEVEL UP ran below form in first-time blinkers on his latest outing, but he has enjoyed a fine season overall and can leave his last effort behind with his usual visor back on. He is taken to see off the challenge of Jenever, who found further improvement when scoring at Newcastle 15 days ago, while Pepsi Cat can give her running again.
