Pride Of Donegal²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: J Mitchell| T: C Johnston| OR: 82| D

7/2

Winner at Kempton in October. 4/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 29 days ago, no match for winner. One to consider.

Kimeko Glory³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: C Hills| OR: 78

17/2

Three wins from 8 runs last year. Latest win at Sandown in July. First run since leaving Brian Toomey when creditable second of 7 in handicap (17/2) at this C&D (AW) 32 days ago, no match for winner. Each-way claims.

Educator¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 74| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Fifth of 7 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (AW) 17 days ago and this 7-y-o will probably come up short once more.

Form: 348985-

(7)

Westcombe¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 76| D

4/5

Promising type. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (11/10) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 14 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Charlie's Choice, comfortably. May well have more to offer for his shrewd yard and he's the one to beat.

Charlie's Choice¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 72| D

6/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2025. 4/1, good 2¼ lengths second of 10 to Westcombe in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 14 days ago, no match for winner. 2 lb pull probably won't be enough for him to reverse those placings but should be thereabouts once again.

Raintown^p³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: J F Egan| T: J S Moore| OR: 70| CD

40/1

Three-time C&D winner. Fifth of 7 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D (AW) 32 days ago. Dropped to a handy mark but others make more appeal all the same,

Eupator^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 71

16/1

7/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 14 days ago. Still a maiden following 9 attempts but he's in good hands and can make his presence felt.

Form: 892763-

Enthused^t⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: Darragh Keenan| T: James Owen| OR: 62| D

66/1

100/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 780588-

(5)

Ocean Heights¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 62| D

33/1

Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (10f, AW, 25/1) 12 days ago. Others make more appeal for win purposes.

Forecasts

Westcombe (4/5), Pride Of Donegal (7/2), Charlie's Choice (6/1), Kimeko Glory (17/2), Eupator (16/1), Educator (25/1), Ocean Heights (33/1), Raintown (40/1), Enthused (66/1)

A typically progressive handicapper from the Sir Mark Prescott yard, WESTCOMBE is taken to complete the hat-trick. He seemingly had a fair bit left up his sleeve when proving too strong for Charlie's Choice at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and this 6 lb higher mark should be within reach. Pride of Donegal put in a good shift when runner-up at Newcastle last month and is taken to emerge as the main danger this time, with Charlie's Choice third on the list.
