Roody Toody^h1,p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: R T Phillips| OR: 58

100/1

100/1, always behind after 11 weeks off when last of 16 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Possibly better on all-weather than turf so may fare better.

20/1

Latest win at Bath in August. Fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 9/2) 9 days ago, keeping on when hampered final 1f. In good form prior so not taken lightly if bouncing back.

Fai Fai^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D Steele| OR: 48| BF| D

13/2

Latest win at Salisbury in July. Run best excused when seventh of 9 in minor event (2/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 23 days ago, worst of draw. Drawn widest again here so percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Bluebells Boy (15/8), Marching Mac (9/2), Bossy Parker (13/2), Fai Fai (13/2), Eldeyaar (7/1), Due Date (7/1), Nights Over Egypt (15/2), Hailey Ya Mal (10/1), Time Patrol (20/1), Coast (40/1), Roody Toody (66/1), Badosa (100/1), Lady Ursula (150/1)

Cases can be made for a few of these, but BLUEBELLS BOY is selected to bring up the hat-trick having proved better than ever when defying a penalty at Brighton last week. Marching Mac left a couple of dismal efforts since joining current connections behind when opening his account last time, so he heads up the dangers, with Time Patrol and Due Date also fancied to be in the mix.
