18/1

18/1, third of 5 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 35 days ago, not looking keen. First run for yard after leaving Grant Tuer and she's likely to find a few too good. Yard also saddles Homeland.

1/2

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (6/1) at this C&D 37 days ago, readily. 5 lb rise tolerable and another bold show could be on the way.

12/1

Winner at Ripon in July. 14/1, creditable 4¾ lengths sixth of 13 to The Dark Baron in handicap at this C&D 37 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Michael Dods. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 165976

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 57

14/1

Creditable third of 12 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 27 days ago and this filly is likely to be in the thick of things once again.

Form: 425003

28/1

16/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 28 days ago, very slowly away. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive.

Form: 0699D7

An Fear Beag⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Grace McEntee| T: J Butler| OR: 50

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Below form eighth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (7f) 54 days ago. Significantly up in trip and needs to get back on track.

Form: 88008

(10)

Mister Knockout⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Nicola Currie| T: G Brown| OR: 49

80/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, fourth of 5 in juvenile hurdle at Kempton (16f, good to firm, 100/1) on NH debut 43 days ago. Poor effort on latest appearance in this sphere.

Form: 47-6508

Ballarat Bertie^b⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S D Bowen| T: R Hughes| OR: 45| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 10/1) 86 days ago, not ideally placed. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 156557

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Georgia Dobie| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 45

Forecasts

The Dark Baron (1/2), Study Of Motion (11/2), Bona Verba (10/1), Homeland (12/1), Magic Runner (14/1), Spinning Dancer (16/1), Shielas Well (18/1), Ballarat Bertie (20/1), An Fear Beag (20/1), Token Love (25/1), Broadstone (28/1), Nora Barnacle (80/1), Mister Knockout (80/1)

THE DARK BARON was drawn widest of all when making a winning AW debut over C&D last time and, handed a better berth this time, he looks capable of going in again off this 5 lb higher mark. Magic Runner will be emerging from stall 13 this time, but she returned to form when runner-up here last month and will be a threat if able to build on that. Handicap debutante Study of Motion has the look of a potential improver and makes each-way appeal, a remark that also applies to Spinning Dancer.
