Dumfries¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 59| D

11/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 7/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 685060

Cuban Fiesta⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Wigham| OR: 62

9/2

Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 14/1) 82 days ago, running on. First run for yard after leaving Ed Dunlop and it'll be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting.

Form: 46-3096

Tambourine Dream¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 62

13/2

5/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 13 days ago and could have a part to play off the same mark here, provided she is able to build on that.

Love Warrior^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 60| BF

5/4

First run since leaving Charlie Johnston when creditable second of 14 in handicap (3/1) at this C&D 7 days ago. Likely to be in the thick of things once more.

Form: 586442

Carvalhal^v¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty| T: M Dods| OR: 59

25/1

Winner at Hamilton in August. 10/1, last of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 13 days ago. Others look stronger.

Balqaa¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Spencer| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 55| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 15/8) 14 days ago, overcoming pace bias. It's unlikely that a 6 lb rise will be enough to stop her in her tracks.

Form: 977431

Meade Gold¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: T D Barron| OR: 55

14/1

Seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 40/1) 12 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and he's readily passed over.

Form: 755307

Pop Favorite^b⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: D Swift| T: S Dixon| OR: 49| CD

28/1

Five-time C&D winner. 40/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago and looks set for another struggle.

Forecasts

Love Warrior (5/4), Cuban Fiesta (9/2), Balqaa (11/2), Tambourine Dream (13/2), Dumfries (11/1), Meade Gold (14/1), Brazen Rascal (16/1), Carvalhal (25/1), Pop Favorite (28/1)

BALQAA snapped a losing run stretching back nearly two years in good style at Southwell a fortnight ago and, with the perfect partner on board to execute the hold-up tactics that bring out the best in her, this 6 lb higher mark should be well within her reach. Love Warrior went down narrowly over C&D on debut for this yard last week and he is second choice ahead of Tambourine Dream.
