20/1
Won at Wolverhampton (14f) 70 days ago but hasn't built on that, most recently finishing third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) at 10/1 12 days ago when dwelt and hung right. Back down in trip and isn't one for maximum faith.

10/1
Former bumper winner who has shown improvement since switching to the Flat, winning on handicap debut over C&D (11/1) 25 days ago in a bobbing 3-way finish. Looks capable of another good showing.

Showing improved form with two seconds in three AW runs, latest when runner-up of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8/1) 3 days ago with regular claimer back aboard. Could go well at a course where has won twice.

Three runner-up finishes in handicaps, including narrow second of 9 over C&D (15/2) 25 days ago, just beaten on the nod by I'D Go Maniac, having come from further back off a modest gallop. Respected off same mark.

3/1
Has shown significant improvement since stepping up to 12f, winning last two races at this course and distance. First of 11 in handicap at this C&D (11/10) 14 days ago, proving really strong in the finish. Up 6lbs but appears on a roll and could make bold bid for the hat-trick.

40/1
Multiple winner, finished fifth of 7 in amateur jockeys' handicap at Chelmsford City (12/1) 9 days ago when having a wider trip than ideal. Needs to improve on recent AW efforts but is partnered by more experienced rider here.

11/10
Finished 2nd at Southwell over 11f after 6-month break and improved again to win 11-runner handicap at Kempton over 12f (7/4) 3 days ago, controlling the race and suggesting more in tank despite narrow margin. Makes appeal off unchanged mark.

Gambled-on to win in 0-55 at this C&D 47 days ago but sixth of 11 in handicap at same C&D (10/1) 14 days ago when beaten by So Alex after a 10lb rise. May need respite from handicapper.

Showed little until finishing fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (200/1) 26 days ago, benefiting from patient ride off strong pace. Needs to back that up now.

Last of 11 in handicap at Kempton (22/1) 17 days ago, again out of sorts. Continues to fall in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage.

Forecasts

Westcombe (11/10), So Alex (3/1), Charlie's Choice (4/1), I'd Go Maniac (10/1), Lightning Touch (16/1), Appier (20/1), Enthused (40/1), Montpellier Green (40/1), Tiger Beetle (66/1), Three Yorkshiremen (66/1)

Verdict

WESTCOMBE looked progressive when opening his account at Kempton just three days ago, controlling proceedings and suggesting more is in the tank. He runs off an unchanged mark and is fancied to follow up. So Alex seeks a hat-trick over C&D after proving really strong in the finish last time, whilst I'd Go Maniac completes a trio of last-time-out winners.

  1. Westcombe11/10
  2. So Alex3/1
  3. I'd Go Maniac10/1
