4/1

Course winner. 10/3, good second of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¾m) 28 days ago, no match for winner. Cheekpieces back on. Can give a good account.

Ace Rothstein^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: K T O'Neill| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 74

22/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Below par on Flat at Goodwood in October and well held over hurdles at Kempton since. Bounce back needed.

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: J Quinn| T: J & S Best| OR: 69| D

100/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2019. 25/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) in March. Not seen since so peak fitness has to be taken on trust.

Form: 28/6533

Mukha Magic^b,t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Finley Marsh| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 69| CD

11/1

C&D winner. 28/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (2m) 18 days ago. Down to a mark in the 60s for the first time in a while but not obviously in good enough form to capitalise.

Form: 327598

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 68| CD

66/1

Six-time C&D winner, the latest in February. Below par on turf when last seen at the beginning of the summer but may do better back on AW.

Form: 1-31506

Sea Me Dance¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods| OR: 73

5/1

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (1¾m) 18 days ago by length from Artisan Dancer, getting first run on her reopposing rival. Should remain very competitive after a 3 lb rise.

Form: 646531

Artisan Dancer¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston| OR: 70| BF| CD

5/2

Third leg of a quick hat-trick at the end of the summer came over C&D. Creditable length second of 11 to Sea Me Dance in handicap (3/1) at Wolverhampton (1¾m) 18 days ago, conceding first run. Major player.

Spritzin'⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Gilligan| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 67

16/1

Fair maiden. 9/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (2m) 46 days ago. Others boast stronger claims.

Form: 246467

Kalamity Kitty¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E De Giles| OR: 58| D

9/2

Good 1¾ lengths second of 12 to Fair Dinkum over C&D 17 days ago. Oisin Murphy takes the ride. Another to consider.

Form: 008842

Fair Dinkum^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Liam Keniry| T: J Scott| OR: 63| CD

5/1

Won 12-runner C&D handicap 17 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Kalamity Kitty. Unexposed at 2m and a 3 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing.

Forecasts

Artisan Dancer (5/2), Sharp Distinction (4/1), Kalamity Kitty (9/2), Sea Me Dance (5/1), Fair Dinkum (5/1), C'mon Kenny (8/1), Mukha Magic (11/1), Spritzin' (16/1), Ace Rothstein (22/1), Smith (66/1), Grandee (100/1)

ARTISAN DANCER conceded first run to Sea Me Dance when second to her at Wolverhampton last month and is taken to turn the tables on 2 lb better terms. Recent C&D scorer Fair Dinkum could have more to offer at 2m and is another to consider in a competitive race.
