Blufferonthebus¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 68| D

7/4

Fair filly. 3 wins from 15 runs this year. Latest win at Beverley in July. 12/1, creditable 7½ lengths second of 9 to Alzahir in seller at this C&D (heavy) 13 days ago. Frame claims but looks to have work cut out against that rival once again.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Faye McManoman| T: Miss Gay Kelleway

125/1

Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, sixth of 7 in novice at this C&D (heavy) 13 days ago. Very hard to fancy.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: George Wood| T: J Candlish| OR: 60

6/1

Fair gelding. Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 7/1) 28 days ago. Others preferred.

Beau Gars¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 68| D

10/3

Fair gelding. Winner at Ffos Las in August but hasn't beaten a rival either outing since, so bit to prove now in claiming company.

Form: 387100

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Luke Catton⁽³⁾| T: B Lund| OR: 50

80/1

100/1, last of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 11 days ago. Completely out of sorts this year.

Form: 865090

(2)

Liberty Mountain¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: F Brennan| OR: 63| D

2/1

Fair filly. 18/1, seemed unsuited by conditions when below form 11¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Alzahir in seller at this C&D (heavy) 13 days ago. More required.

Forecasts

Alzahir (2/5), Blufferonthebus (7/4), Liberty Mountain (2/1), Beau Gars (10/3), Nights Over Egypt (6/1), El Montejean (80/1), Darkest Intention (125/1)

ALZAHIR had a couple of these behind when winning a C&D seller earlier in the month and he's an obvious pick to successfully concede weight all round. Blufferonthebus can chase the selection home again, with Liberty Mountain a modest pick for third.
