(5)

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: J Mitchell| T: R Burdon| OR: 69| D

Latest win at Chepstow in August and wasted no time getting back to form when second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 5/1) 30 days ago, running on late. Enters calculations.

Form: 514292-

Brian The Snail^p¹⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: P Morris| OR: 66| CD

Veteran who was out of his depth when fifth of 7 in handicap (22/1) at this C&D 18 days ago. Back in a more realistic grade.

Form: 622055-

Gustav Graves⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: D Shaw| OR: 63| CD

8-time course winner who ran creditably when fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (5.1f, 6/1) 7 days ago. Should remain competitive.

Cargin Bhui⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: T D Barron| OR: 63| BF| C

Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2024. Looked unlucky not to win when second of 11 in handicap (5/6) at this C&D 7 days ago, forced wide/conceding first run. One to be interested in.

Form: 33796-2

Amerjeet¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Herrington| OR: 57

Fifteen runs since last win in 2024 but again ran well when second of 9 in handicap (3/1) at this course (5.1f) 10 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 848522-

Some Nightmare^p²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 8-8| J: Gina Mangan| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 55| CD

Brave Empire²¹

Weight: 9-9| Age: 5

T: I Furtado J: Darragh Keenan

(7)

I Need Your Love³

Weight: 9-6| Age: 4

Forecasts

Cargin Bhui (11/10), Waistcoat (9/2), Amerjeet (7/1), I Need Your Love (7/1), Brave Empire (7/1), Gustav Graves (10/1), Some Nightmare (12/1), Brian The Snail (14/1)

CARGIN BHUI's losing run is mounting up but he looked unlucky not to win over C&D last week having been forced wide/conceded first run, so he's well worth the chance to make amends. Waistcoat and Amerjeet are considered the main threats.
