Bernard Spierpoint^b,t³^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Jason Watson| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 53| C| D

13/8

Course winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (5f, 11/2) 3 days ago, driven out. Carries penalty. Should go well if the race doesn't come too soon.

Form: 534411

(2)

Nordic Glory¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 55| D

3/1

Didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap (8/1) at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Obvious claims if he's in the same form.

Form: 624331

Alfred Cove²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54| BF| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Ffos Las in July. 3/1, shaped as if still in form when second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 23 days ago, not well placed. Definite player.

Form: 241212

Victors Dream^t⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 51| CD

4/1

Hi Hoh Tonto¹⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Crawley| OR: 45

10/1

Unreliable type. Off 150 days. First run for yard after leaving Colin Teague. Others are more appealing.

Form: 5/85D90

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Finley Marsh| T: K Jewell| OR: 45

28/1

Third of 6 in handicap at this course (6f, good, 18/1) 25 days ago. Looks limited and is hard to make a strong case for.

Forecasts

Bernard Spierpoint (13/8), Nordic Glory (3/1), Victors Dream (4/1), Alfred Cove (5/1), Hi Hoh Tonto (10/1), Storm Venture (12/1), Another Jack (28/1)

ALFRED COVE's latest effort over C&D was excusable, caught in the centre of the track, and he'd been in excellent form prior to that, so he takes marginal preference over last-time-out winners Nordic Glory and Bernard Spierpoint.
