15/2
Four-time C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in August. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at this course (6f, 8/1) 7 days ago. Way he shapes suggests return to 5f will suit.

13/2
10/3, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, settling better than has been the case. 5 lb rise asks for more but he's clearly in good nick.

Forecasts

Twilight Fun (10/11), Smooth Silesie (11/2), Agostino (13/2), Sir Rodneyredblood (15/2), Alafdhal (11/1), Papa Don't Preach (12/1)

Verdict

SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD came within a neck of adding to his Chelmsford haul over 6f a week ago and, equally effective over 5f, he's surely a big player from the same mark. Twilight Fun reacted well to cheekpieces when winning here in September and he looks the main danger.
