11/4

Won at Ffos Las last July and placed on all 4 subsequent outings thereafter on AW last year. Didn't settle fully when seventh of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 5 days ago and no surprise to see a better showing.

The Craftymaster^v¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54| CD

11/4

C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2024. 11/2 and visored for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 10 days ago, left poorly placed. Looks competitive on form.

Arenas Del Tiempo⁹

40/1

Ended a lengthy losing run at Chelmsford (13.3f) in August but hasn't scaled same heights either start since returning from a break, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (13.3f) 9 days ago. Needs to step up again to feature.

Gearing's Point^p1¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Miss S West| OR: 51| C

28/1

Course winner. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 33/1) 10 days ago, albeit not fully convincing with his stamina. Cheekpieces on 1st time and eased 2 lb ahead of this.

Form: 556/84-5

Forglen^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: W Stone| OR: 47

10/3

Winner at Wolverhampton (14f) in July. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D (AW) 10 days ago, plugging on having not been ideally placed. Not discounted.

Form: 13384-6

Fornido¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Paddy Bradley| T: M J Attwater| OR: 50

25/1

Gained a narrow success at Southwell (14.1f) in October and not seen to very best effect either start since, ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 10 days ago, left poorly placed. Needs things to drop right given his usual hold-up style.

Lumberjack⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Darragh Keenan| T: M D I Usher| OR: 46

33/1

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 9/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 9 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Consistency hardly his strong suit, however.

Form: 69029-2

Smith^b⁴⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 45| CD

8/1

Veteran 7-time C&D winner who was well below form of previous 2 starts when last of 8 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 11/1) 46 days ago, weakening when headed 2f out. Needs to leave that well behind to feature.

Form: 566248-

Girl Of Gold²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: James Owen| OR: 45

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat who matched previous hurdles best when winning 6-runner handicap (5/2) at Fakenham (23.4f, soft) 27 days ago. Has a basement mark to operate from returning to this sphere and she's certainly worth a second look for very shrewd outfit.

Forecasts

The Craftymaster (11/4), Zooks (11/4), Forglen (10/3), Girl Of Gold (9/2), Smith (8/1), Karismatique (12/1), Fornido (25/1), Gearing's Point (28/1), Lumberjack (33/1), Arenas Del Tiempo (40/1), Marine (50/1)

It could be worth siding with ZOOKS, who is probably best not judged too harshly on her Wolverhampton effort 5 days ago and is re-united with Billy Loughnane. Recent hurdles scorer Girl of Gold is a danger from a basement mark back on the level, with The Craftymaster also shortlisted having fallen a long way in the weights.
