Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Craig Benton| OR: 58| CD

2/1

5/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D 9 days ago by 2¾ lengths from Capallcliste, easily. The assessor has ensured that he hasn't got off lightly (up 7 lb) but he's a big player nonetheless.

Frankie Valliance⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 55

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2, fourth of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm) 44 days ago, never nearer. Well worth a crack at this trip but others make more appeal for win purposes all the same.

Form: 89-304

25/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in July. 8/1, last of 9 in handicap there (6.1f) 21 days ago. Dropped to a handy mark but he needs to bounce back.

Edergole's Gift²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: C Allen| OR: 54| D

10/1

Career best when winning 9-runner minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 18/1) 28 days ago. Remains feasibly treated back up 4 lb but this demands a clear, new personal best.

9/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in April. 9/2, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 8 days ago. Return to this trip will be very much in his favour.

14/1

Below form eighth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 54 days ago. Visor on 1st time and he needs to bounce back.

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Off 7 months, last of 12 in maiden (150/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 75 days ago, left poorly placed. Makes handicap debut. Could improve.

17/2

9/2, 3¼ lengths sixth of 9 to Edergole's Gift in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) 28 days ago, never nearer. Likely to find a few too good once more.

Forecasts

Twitch (2/1), Profitman (9/2), Diligent Henry (11/2), Capallcliste (13/2), Poetic Jack (7/1), Bishop's Glory (17/2), Edergole's Gift (10/1), Frankie Valliance (11/1), Match Anthem (14/1), Fai Fai (14/1), Rising Force (22/1), Porfin (25/1), Advindi (25/1), Tilsworth Max (40/1), Primrose Maid (125/1)

The vote goes to PROFITMAN, who has been in better form than his form figures would suggest of late and this step back up to 7f could be just the ticket. Twitch outpointed Capallcliste in ready fashion over C&D recently and he is next on the list, while Poetic Jack is third choice.
