Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Tyler Heard| T: M D I Usher| OR: 65| CD

8/1

Bagged his fourth C&D win with a career best in 9-runner handicap 42 days ago. Up 3 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood.

9/1

Latest win at Chepstow in July and largely in good form since, fifth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 14/1) 16 days ago. Needs considering off an easing mark.

(9)

Bomb Squad^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Marco Ghiani| T: J Mackie| OR: 55| CD

18/1

Consistent sort who scored at Southwell (6f) last summer. Shaped as if needing the run after 10 months off when 11th in handicap (28/1) at Leicester (6f, heavy) 11 days ago. This C&D winner is expected to be bang there with that run under his belt.

Form: 14427-0

Saffredi¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ray Dawson| T: G Harris| OR: 55

6/1

Ex-Irish maiden who has started encouragingly for her new yard, fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 12 days ago. Can go well off an easing mark.

Forecasts

Prince Of Bel Lir (11/4), Walking On Clouds (3/1), Doctor Vuby (5/1), Saffredi (6/1), Professor Tickle (7/1), Arlecchino's Gift (8/1), Vape (9/1), Not Just Yet (18/1), Bomb Squad (18/1), Impeach (20/1), Betties Bay (20/1), King's Gem (80/1)

BOMB SQUAD looked rusty after a lay-off when a recent 11th at Leicester and is fancied to take a big step forward now and bag a second C&D success. Saffredi has started out well for his new handler and could emerge as the main danger to John Mackie's reliable sort with course-specialist Arlecchino's Gift and in-form Vape also in the picture.
