Init Together¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: C J Orr⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| CD

5/1

Dual course and distance winner who ran fifth of 12 in handicap over C&D (11/1) 18 days ago, leading until under 2f out but failing to find extra late. Becoming well-handicapped but seems to be merely ticking over at present.

Enzos Angel^p¹⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 55| CD

12/1

In good form here around the turn of the year, bagging a second C&D victory in January before a good second a month later. Absent since finishing down the field over 8.6f in April and he goes without his usual tongue tie on this occasion.

Form: 7-61250

City Escape^b,e/s⁹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 54| CD

16/1

5-time C&D winner who wasn't at her best when seventh of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f) back in June, failing to get involved after a typically slow break. Finds herself operating 1 lb below last winning mark back from a break and good showing certainly not ruled out.

Form: 442467

Boujee Gold³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54| CD

33/1

Dual course winner who got back on scoreboard at Brighton (8f) earlier this year and posted good placed efforts on 2 of her 3 starts since. Excuses back from a break/tackling 7f here 32 days ago and better showing looks on the cards.

Have You A Minute¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: T P Tate| OR: 51| CD

7/2

Has shown mixed form this year but turned in best effort of the season following an 8-week break when finishing second of 11 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 14 days ago, likely he'd have finished closer still with a clearer passage. Not discounted.

Holy Smoker^p1,h1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: W J Knight| OR: 55

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden who continues to show little, tenth of 13 in AW handicap at Kempton (25/1) 19 days ago, going in snatches and labouring long way out. Readily passed over.

Form: 5-09470

Epicurian Lad¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 54

8/1

Ran well in July with second and third placings but fifth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (16/1) 16 days ago, never threatening. Maiden after 15 starts and cheekpieces removed today.

Queen Sansa²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: S C Williams| OR: 53

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Best effort when second of 5 at Brighton in May, fifth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (11/2) 23 days ago, driven under 3f out and dropping away. Others more persuasive.

Form: 7-87255

(12)

Sangara^h,t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: J Channon| OR: 52

6/1

Largely disappointing in handicaps until showing improvement when upped in trip recently. Third of 9 in handicap at Pontefract over 10f (12/1) 16 days ago, keeping on after briefly leading under 2f out. Further drop in the weights gives hope she can shed maiden tag here.

Form: 5-00403

Ribston Pippin³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Finley Marsh| T: Lemos Souza| OR: 51

4/1

Improved when opening his account in a 1m classified event at Yarmouth in August and matched that level when fourth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (1m) a month ago, racing wide but keeping on. Remains easily one of the least exposed and he's certainly one for the shortlist.

Form: 557214

Takteek¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Paddy Bradley| T: James Owen| OR: 51

10/1

Modest handicapper with 3rd at Lingfield (7f) in September, then finished 7th of 10 at Lingfield (8f) at 13/2, 11 days ago, not looking suited by step up in trip. Surprise were his shrewd yard not to find the key to him but others more persuasive in this line up.

Form: 665937

Keep Talking²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: J S Moore| OR: 50

18/1

Maiden who has yet to better modest form since switched to handicaps, fourth of 11 in a C&D contest 4 weeks ago, making the frame for first time but never threatening the principals. May find an easier opening in due course.

Forecasts

Have You A Minute (7/2), Ribston Pippin (4/1), Init Together (5/1), Sangara (6/1), Epicurian Lad (8/1), Takteek (10/1), Enzos Angel (12/1), Aljezur (14/1), City Escape (16/1), Keep Talking (18/1), Holy Smoker (25/1), Queen Sansa (28/1), Boujee Gold (33/1)

SANGARA showed clear improvement when stepped up in trip at Pontefract last time and can build on that third-placed effort on the back of a further drop in the weights. City Escape is of interest returning to this course and distance where she boasts five previous wins. Boujee Gold should appreciate the return to her preferred 9f trip, whilst Ribston Pippin and Have You A Minute also enter calculations.
