Age: 4|  Weight: 9-11| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: R M H Cowell| OR:  82| CD
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.

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

In good form with three consecutive seconds including at C&D (10/3) 8 days ago including on stable debut latest when beaten ¾-length by Jm Jhingree who re-opposes. 17 runs without a win but clearly in fine heart.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

King's Crown (7/2), True Promise (4/1), Jm Jhingree (9/2), Fidelius (9/2), Tiriac (11/2), Bonnie's Boy (7/1), Lion's House (20/1), D Flawless (20/1), Mersea (33/1), Bonito Cavalo (50/1)

Verdict

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.

  1. Tiriac9/2
