Redarna^p³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 82| CD

9/2

Six-time C&D winner who capitalised on his falling mark when making all at Carlisle (7.8f) last month. Creditable fifth of 9 back at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) last time and he could be thereabouts returned to this venue.

Form: 430415

Al Muqdad^p1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81| BF| CD

9/4

Improved performer this year, winning 4 times in handicaps including twice at this C&D. Unsuited by way the race developed at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, so no surprise to see him bounce back with cheekpieces applied.

Form: 413246

The Caltonian^b²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 80| D

8/1

Dual winner on all-weather at the start of the year and arrives in good heart, getting going too late dropped back in trip when fifth of 13 at Southwell (5f) last time. Merits consideration returned to 7f from his lower mark on turf.

Judgment Call²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: K Stott| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 79| CD

16/1

Struggled for consistency this year but one of his better races when edged out late on at Carlisle in August. Ran respectably making a rare start on all-weather when sixth of 14 at Southwell (7.1f) 23 days ago and he's capable of getting involved.

Craven^b1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 77| D

33/1

Bounced back to his best when getting up late for success at York in July. However, has failed to repeat that effort both starts since, well held at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) earlier this month. Blinkers now replace the usual visor.

Tierney^v1³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Jason Hart| T: H Palmer| OR: 80

16/1

Gave a good account in listed race at Carlisle in June and backed that up when second in a Leicester handicap (7f, good to firm) the following month. Below form at Newbury last time, though, and has something to find with visor reached for.

Form: 45-8620

Prairie Falcon^p1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: M Dods| OR: 74| C| D

7/1

Last win came in nursery at this meeting back in 2022. Usually held up and he never landed a blow when seventh of 11 at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) on his latest outing. Needs things to drop right with cheekpieces now the choice of headgear.

Form: 3-28467

Wreck It Ryley^b¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Swift| T: A D Brown| OR: 73| CD

11/1

Gained reward for several near misses earlier in the campaign when successful at Ripon (6f, good to firm) at the end of August, scoring with a bit in hand. However, he needs to shrug off a poor effort at York 13 days ago.

Form: 372310

Yaaser¹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 68| CD

7/1

Won 12-runner handicap at this course (8f, good, 9/2) 1 day ago, overcoming pace bias. Not taken lightly.

Form: 304701

Jenni⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Robinson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 68

10/1

Has made the frame on several occasions this year, leaving behind a lesser effort when runner-up in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm) a week ago. Upped in grade as she looks for her first win, but she remains unexposed at this trip.

Form: 434362

Chiefman⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 68

80/1

Winner on handicap/seasonal debut at Newcastle in March but hasn't kicked on since. Making his first start since leaving Archie Watson, finished last of 6 at this course (10f, good to firm) when last seen in July. Others preferred back down in trip.

Forecasts

Al Muqdad (9/4), Redarna (9/2), Prairie Falcon (7/1), Yaaser (7/1), The Caltonian (8/1), Jenni (10/1), Wreck It Ryley (11/1), Danzan (14/1), Tierney (16/1), Judgment Call (16/1), Craven (33/1), Chiefman (80/1)

A four-time winner this season, AL MUQDAD was left on the back foot after a slow start at Thirsk 2 weeks ago, so he is worth forgiving his latest run with cheekpieces now added. He is taken to land a third C&D success, while The Caltonian made the frame here 3 times during the summer and could be the main danger. Redarna also enters calculations.
