3-time C&D winner. Six wins from 18 Flat runs. 4 wins from 10 runs this year. 3/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 26 days ago. Rarely runs a bad race on AW and merits plenty of respect.

17/2
1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Sandown in July. Twenty sixth of 34 in handicap (80/1) at Newmarket (9f, good to firm) 75 days ago, very slowly away. Tricky sort but could get back on track returned to calmer waters.

5/6
5/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, impressively. Well capable of defying a penalty if the race doesn't come too soon.

80/1
Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, first run since leaving Richard Fahey when second of 5 in juvenile hurdle (2/1) at Musselburgh (15.6f, soft) on NH debut 14 days ago. Difficult ask.

Forecasts

Penzance (5/6), Storm Catcher (2/1), Sayf Al Dawla (17/2), Polling Day (12/1), Postmark (22/1), Three Yorkshiremen (80/1)

Verdict

PENZANCE opened his account for Mick Appleby in taking fashion over C&D a week ago and, if he handles the quick turnaround, he should be able to follow up. Storm Catcher is the obvious danger on the back of a career-best effort and Polling Day can't be ruled out on just his second outing for Archie Watson.
