Big Bard^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Paddy Bradley| T: G & J Moore| OR: 55| CD

2/1

Has 2 C&D wins to name with the last coming in January. Hasn't been in top form since but there was a lot more to like over inadequate 5f last time and he's well worth considering back up to 6f and down in 0-55 company.

Beelzebub^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| D

16/1

Won at Windsor in June on first run for new trainer, emphatically ending a long losing run. Best excused latest run after awkward start and he's likely still one to be positive about given the yard he's not long been with. Tongue strap reapplied and boasts top jockey booking.

Big Time Rascal^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: S Hodgson| OR: 54| D

17/2

Won on stable debut in August and ran well from a higher mark later that month but was only fourteenth of 17 in a handicap at Bath 17 days ago when slowly into stride. Lightly raced on all-weather so could bounce back dropped in grade.

My Dad Tom^p⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Pollard⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 55

66/1

Suffered an over-reach when last of 4 in June then ran no sort of race when eleventh of 12 in a handicap over 7f at Lingfield in August, dropping away as if all might not have been well. Best watched with inexperienced rider taking over.

May Encounter^h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Nicola Currie| T: H Candy| OR: 52| BF

15/2

Fourth of 8 in a Bath handicap 18 days ago, running respectably though her slow-starting issues are becoming ingrained. Plenty more required back on all-weather.

Respectable Jack^b,t⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: R Havlin| T: M Crawley| OR: 52

7/2

Runner-up over C&D in February but not kicked on since. Bit better than result last 2 starts but still others preferred.

Rovinia¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Joe Leavy| T: R A Teal| OR: 52| C

13/2

Resumed winning ways at Lingfield over 7f last month and was unlucky when third at Chepstow 30 days ago, badly hampered. Only ran moderately when fifth of 10 at Wolverhampton 12 days ago, though, and now drops back in trip.

King Cherry^h1,t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 53

10/1

Fourth of 11 in a handicap at Lingfield over 7f in August but poor efforts both starts since. Hood now applied.

Southbank¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: C Gordon| OR: 51| CD

25/1

Won over C&D before and is better on all-weather so should come on for recent return from 11 weeks off which took place on turf in first-time cheekpieces. Headgear now removed and back on all-weather. Not best drawn but is one to keep an eye on from this mark.

Vitalline^b,t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 50| CD

14/1

Second of 8 in a handicap at Wolverhampton 12 days ago, his best effort since winning in June. Returns to this C&D where twice successful and blinkers are back on. Entitled to go well back down to 6f.

Big Bard (2/1), Respectable Jack (7/2), Rovinia (13/2), May Encounter (15/2), Big Time Rascal (17/2), King Cherry (10/1), Vitalline (14/1), Beelzebub (16/1), Ten Club (20/1), Southbank (25/1), Kyoto (33/1), My Dad Tom (66/1)

BIG BARD served warning that he's ready to strike when running on late over 5f last time and is one to take very seriously back over C&D. Beelzebub isn't long with the Tony Carroll yard so could well have more to offer and looks a big threat, while Southbank is lurking on a good mark again now.
