11/4

All 4 career wins have come on All Weather surfaces. Won at this course and distance (13/2) 25 days ago, making all on the stand rail and keeping on well final furlong to justify support. Clearly effective at this venue and should remain competitive.

Bonnie's Boy^v1³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 77| BF| CD

4/1

Raced prominently to win a C&D handicap (4/1) 53 days ago showing much improved form. Fourth of 8 in a similar event at this C&D (5/2f) 37 days ago, possibly disadvantaged by not being so close to the pace. First-time visor could eke out a bit more.

8/1

Inconsistent performer who was 10th of 12 in a handicap at this C&D (15/2) 25 days ago, dwelling at start and racing wide. Often takes a strong hold in races and others look more solid.

King's Crown^p,t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Dods| OR: 72| CD

16/1

Six-time winner including twice over course and distance who won here (5/1) 17 days ago in a field of 7, ridden with patience and quickening best when wearing cheekpieces (retained). Effective at this venue and arrives in good form for this step up in grade.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Barry McHugh| T: P T Midgley| OR: 72| BF| CD

15/2

Won at this C&D 26 days ago with refitted cheekpieces. Third of 7 behind King's Crown in handicap at this C&D (2/1 favourite) 17 days ago, pulling hard in a slowly-run race. Remains well treated and may get stronger pace to aim at here.

Mersea²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 67| C| D

80/1

Course winner who won at Musselburgh over 5f in August but has disappointed in 3 runs since, including when seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 26 days ago. Has fallen below last winning mark on all-weather and could bounce back.

20/1

Six-time course winner but finished twelfth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (125/1) 74 days ago, continuing to fall in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage. Hard to fancy unless supported.

Forecasts

Fidelius (11/4), Bonnie's Boy (4/1), Jm Jhingree (9/2), True Promise (6/1), Tiriac (15/2), Lion's House (8/1), King's Crown (16/1), Bonito Cavalo (20/1), D Flawless (33/1), Mersea (80/1)

TIRIAC remains well treated on his course and distance win from 26 days ago, with his latest third easily excused as he pulled hard in a slowly-run affair. He's taken to bounce back in what should be a more strongly run race. 3-y-o Bonnie's Boy, a previous course and distance winner, sports a first-time visor and may yet have more to offer, while Mersea is worth a market check have fallen below his last successful all-weather mark.
