9/4
4-time C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 18/1) 12 days ago. Not taken lightly if shrugging off latest effort.

C&D winner. 4 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win here in October. Tenth of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 9 days ago so needs to bounce back.

Won 10-runner handicap (7/1) at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago, making all. Can go well in his hat-trick bid despite a 6 lb weights rise.

3/1
Got back on the up with a stylish success in 10-runner handicap (3/1) at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Up 4 lb but this strong-travelling sort is expected to be bang there again.

14/1
3-time C&D winner. Seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 12/1) 9 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Still needs considering.

Forecasts

Gweedore (9/4), U Sure Do (3/1), Glenfinnan (11/2), Monsieur Kodi (8/1), Kelpie Grey (10/1), Bellarchi (12/1), Yaaser (14/1), Royalty Bay (14/1), Mudamer (14/1), Nostrum (14/1)

Verdict

U SURE DO impressed with the way he travelled when going in at Catterick recently and looks the way to go here despite being raised 4 lb by the official assessor. Hat-trick seeking Mudamer rates the obvious threat, although Monsieur Kodi, Gweedore and Bellarchi all have winning form round here and must enter calculations.
