Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Luke Catton| T: W J Knight| OR: 64| CD

3/1

Three-time C&D winner. Latest win here in April. 22/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (9f, good) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and wouldn't be without a chance were the the headgear to spark a return to form.

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64| BF| C

9/2

Course winner. 5 wins from 10 runs this year. Latest win here in May. 11/4, sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 30 days ago. Better than he was able to show on that occasion and a bold show is likely. One of 4 representing the Tony Carroll yard.

Twelfth of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Chester (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark, but others are more appealing all the same.

10/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, soft) 17 days ago. Remains 4 lb above the mark off which he opened his account at Windsor in June and looks vulnerable.

15/2

Course winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Yarmouth in July. Ninth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at the same course (8f, good to firm) 29 days ago. One or two of these look stronger.

Forecasts

Blenheim Star (3/1), Time Patrol (9/2), Danehill Star (5/1), Poetic Force (11/2), River Wharfe (11/2), Heer's Sadie (15/2), Love Your Work (12/1), Galileo's Compass (20/1)

Tony Carroll holds a strong hand in this contest and TIME PATROL is taken to lead home a 1-2-3 for the yard, with stablemates River Wharfe and Poetic Force feared most in that order of preference. Time Patrol rattled off a hat-trick over 6f/7f here during the spring and, better than he was able to show last time, the 5-y-o is appealing returned to this trip (he found just one too good on sole previous run over this trip last year).
