Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs, but again ran respectably when fourth of 12 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D a week ago. Could be thereabouts from his career-low mark.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: K Frost| OR: 59| CD

Captain Corelli⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 58| D

14/1

Below his best this year but better signs on his last 2 starts, no extra only late on when sixth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 45 days ago. Has eased further in the weights but more needed to take advantage.

Form: 8-08986

Al Suil Eile¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Laura Pearson| T: S A Harris| OR: 57| C

14/1

Course winner. After 10 months off, shaped as if retaining ability when fifth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at this course (7.1f) 2 weeks ago, left poorly placed. Could take a step forward from that.

Form: 6-42465

My Boy Benji¹³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T Eaves| T: S England| OR: 56

40/1

Making all-weather/handicap debut, fared no better when seventh in 10-runner event at this course (11.1f, 20/1) in August. Improvement required as he drops back down in trip after a break.

Form: 0847

Revoquable^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 53| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Successful at Newcastle in October and soon left behind a lesser effort when ¾-length second of 12 to Equiami in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 22 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Major player.

Form: 705102

Kodi Noir^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 53

11/2

Produced his best work once the race was over when fifth of 10 in handicap (8/1) at this course (7.1f) 2 weeks ago, nearest finish. Back down to his last winning mark so he's capable if on a going day.

Form: 432065

Equiami²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: A J Farragher| T: P J McBride| OR: 50| CD

10/1

Back to best when winning 12-runner handicap (13/2) at this C&D 22 days ago by ¾ length from Revoquable, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Respected as he bids for a third success at this venue.

Form: 096451

Straitouttacompton^t⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 45| CD

200/1

Four-time C&D winner. Has been struggling for form, pulling hard when last of 6 in claiming hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft, 200/1) 54 days ago. Best watched back on the level.

Form: 970989

Forecasts

King Of York (6/5), Revoquable (4/1), Kodi Noir (11/2), Equiami (10/1), Al Suil Eile (14/1), Captain Corelli (14/1), Back From Dubai (16/1), Sienna Breeze (22/1), Mr Strutter (25/1), My Boy Benji (40/1), Lucky Protector (50/1), Straitouttacompton (200/1)

Refitted with a tongue strap, REVOQUABLE bounced back to form when runner-up at this C&D last time, faring best of those ridden close up, so he can build on that to gain a third win of the year. He is taken to reverse the form with Equiami from when the pair met here 22 days ago, with Al Suil Eile completing the shortlist.
