Classy Clarets^p1,h,t⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 60| CD

9/2

C&D winner in May. Last of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 84 days ago. Needs to bounce back, but will be a real threat off this mark if the addition of cheekpieces help him do just that.

Form: 012079

Bizarre Law^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: George Wood| T: M Herrington| OR: 59| CD

7/1

C&D winner in May. Fifth of 6 in handicap (11/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 20 days ago and will probably find a few too good once more.

Form: 125935

Toussarok²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| CD

5/1

C&D winner in September. Last of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 4/1) 28 days ago. Remains on a good mark judged on peak form, but one or two of these are more appealing all the same.

Form: 134319

Ten Club⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 58

8/1

7/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 9 days ago. Now 3 lb below last winning mark and he's dangerous to discount.

Form: 575359

Harbour Vision^b²³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 58| CD

9/1

Eight-time course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2024. 40/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 950508

Mister Mcgregor^h⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 58

28/1

Unreliable sort. Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 66/1, fourth of 7 in novice at Chester (7f, good) 45 days ago, not knocked about. Hood back on. Something to find on form.

Form: 458654

Hackney Diamonds^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ray Dawson| T: Ian Williams| OR: 57| D

14/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2024. Last of 8 in handicap (12/1) at this course (6.1f) 16 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Bungle Bay²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Levey| T: H J Evans| OR: 52| CD

13/2

Four-time C&D winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (6f) 26 days ago. Has edged down to a handy mark and he's one for the shortlist.

Form: 115767

Sands Of Dubai^h³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 53| CD

4/1

11/4, won 8-runner handicap at this C&D 35 days ago. More needed up 3 lb, but she's unexposed on the AW and over this trip. Possibilities.

Form: 777021

Poet⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 46

11/1

33/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, slowly away. Opposable.

Form: 727057

(8)

Agapanther^b¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Gina Mangan| T: Miss Celine De La Haye| OR: 45| D

80/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good to firm, 100/1) 11 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 552297

Forecasts

Sands Of Dubai (4/1), Classy Clarets (9/2), Toussarok (5/1), Bungle Bay (13/2), Bizarre Law (7/1), Ten Club (8/1), Harbour Vision (9/1), Poet (11/1), Hackney Diamonds (14/1), Mister Mcgregor (28/1), Agapanther (80/1)

The vote goes to BUNGLE BAY, who was in good form over C&D earlier this year and he has been given a chance by the handicapper (now 3 lb below last winning mark). Ten Club is another that has slipped to a dangerous mark and he is feared most ahead of Classy Clarets and last month's C&D winner Sands of Dubai.
