Returned to winning ways at this C&D in May. However, ran one of his lesser races when eleventh of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (11f) 50 days ago. Bounce back called for.

Imprint^b,t⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: M G Rimell| OR: 50| C

2/1

Opened his account here (10.2f) in July and ran at least as well when third of 12 in handicap at Redcar (9f, good to firm, 4/1) 45 days ago. Enters calculations upped in trip.

Lost In Time^v¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: D K Ivory| OR: 50| D

17/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2023 but made the frame 4 times this summer. Below-par effort when eighth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good, 6/1) 15 days ago, though he could fare better with the visor reapplied.

9/2

Finally off the mark at this C&D last month. Backed up that effort when fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (13f, good to firm, 13/2) 18 days ago, so she's a major player returned to this shorter distance.

Summer Gale³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: C Hobson| OR: 50

28/1

Hasn't offered much in his 3 starts this year, fourth of 5 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm, 28/1) 35 days ago. Others preferred.

Scarlet^t1,v1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: C Brace| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 46

80/1

After 20 months off ahead of first run since leaving Tony Newcombe, finished tailed off when last of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (12f, heavy, 40/1) 3 weeks ago. Visor/tongue strap now reached for.

Endofastorm⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: William Cox| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 46

40/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Failed to come on for her reappearance when eighth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 14/1) 58 days ago. Others more persuasive at present.

Form: 6856-58

Highland Lil^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 53

28/1

Ran well when third at Ffos Las (12f) on her penultimate start. In first-time visor, possibly unsuited by conditions when fifth of 7 in handicap at the same C&D (12f, heavy, 13/2) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Letmebetheboss²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 48

5/2

Having had a second breathing operation, ran his best race to date when third of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (12f, heavy, 17/2) 3 weeks ago. Could be in the mix as he makes only his third handicap start.

Form: 5-53453

Cassias Comet^p1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 45

Showed a bit more than previously when fourth of 6 in handicap (33/1) at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Task is now to build on her latest effort with cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 86-574

Forecasts

Imprint (2/1), Letmebetheboss (5/2), Ladypacksapunch (9/2), Lost In Time (17/2), Galactic Glow (10/1), Bond Spirit (14/1), Cassias Comet (25/1), Highland Lil (28/1), Summer Gale (28/1), Endofastorm (40/1), Sky Dancer (50/1), Scarlet (80/1), Capital Love (100/1)

LADYPACKSAPUNCH has benefited from the application of a visor on her last 3 starts, winning at this C&D before running well when fourth here 18 days ago, so she is taken to double her tally in her current form. Three-time course winner Galactic Glow could be the main danger after returning to form on his latest outing, with Imprint also considered.
