Another Investment²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 81| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 10/1) 27 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Drawn wider than ideal but still enters calculations.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 80| D

18/1

11/1

Leadenhall¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 77

7/2

Scored at Haydock last summer for Ralph Beckett and shaping up well for new yard, travelling well for long way when third of 18 over C&D (good to soft) 14 days ago. Big player.

Form: 20-3503

(13)

Great Max¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76| D

9/1

Form: 5-76747

Carnival Zain⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 76| D

Craven^v⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| D

20/1

Just one success from 18 starts thus far but he has been placed on several occasions, including C&D in May. Down the field back here since, though.

Form: 248-930

Charencey¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Joanna Mason| T: Ian Williams| OR: 75| D

4/1

16/5, career best when dead heating in 9-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 15 days ago, sticking to task. Should remain very competitive after a 2 lb nudge.

Form: 417321

The Cookstown Cafu^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: K A Ryan| OR: 74| D

28/1

14/1, first run since leaving Clive Cox when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) on reappearance 77 days ago. Needs to leave that effort well behind with a tongue strap back on now.

Patontheback²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott| T: G Tutty| OR: 73| D

16/1

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: S H James| T: D Brooke| OR: 71| D

Forecasts

Leadenhall (7/2), Charencey (4/1), The Cookstown Cafu (8/1), Great Max (9/1), Tanmawwy (11/1), Finbar's Lad (12/1), No Nay Nicki (14/1), Another Investment (14/1), One More Dream (14/1), Patontheback (16/1), Bowman (18/1), Chuzzlewit (18/1), Craven (20/1), Carnival Zain (28/1), Heroism (28/1), Utilis (33/1), Desert Falcon (40/1), Kats Bob (50/1)

LEADENHALL caught the eye with the way he travelled dropped to 7f here last time and is taken to come good back in a slightly lower grade. Charencey has enjoyed a good summer and is second choice ahead of Another Investment, who can flatter to deceive a little but is more than capable of playing a prominent role at a track where he has winning form.
