Popular Dream¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Alex Jary| T: D Shaw| OR: 60| CD

7/2

Gained a fifth C&D victory when cosily capitalising on a reduced mark in an 11-runner handicap 16 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Crypto Quest. Still feasibly treated after 5 lb rise.

One For Harvey³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Taryn Langley⁽³⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 59| CD

9/4

Took a couple of starts to find her feet for this yard but bounced back to her best to resume winning ways in a 12-runner C&D event 35 days ago by 1½ lengths from Mimime. Has to be taken seriously despite wide draw.

Form: 486-541

Twilight Madness⁶⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Charlie Tucker⁽⁵⁾| T: S Hodgson| OR: 58| CD

4/1

C&D winner late last year and added to his tally at Bath in April. Has not been in the same form since, however.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Christian Howarth| T: C Wallis| OR: 57| D

12/1

Took advantage of a reduced mark on what was effectively his second start for this trainer at Chepstow in June and returned to form having slipped back in the weights when third of 10 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Place claims again.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: William Pyle| T: M J Attwater| OR: 56| D

33/1

Gained back-to-back 5f all-weather wins in the winter but arrives out of sorts, beating only one in handicap at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last time.

Mimime^p²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jude Maher⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 55| CD

7/2

Lightly-raced filly is improving steadily, chasing home One For Harvey on her penultimate outing before progressing further to win a 9-runner handicap at this C&D (2/1) 26 days ago. Player again after 9 lb rise.

Midnight Lir^p,t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Rhys Elliott| T: M Dods| OR: 54| D

11/2

On a long losing run but hasn't been disgraced of late, not getting a clear run when sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Frame claims.

Form: 448946

Crypto Quest⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Kavanagh| T: S Dixon| OR: 53| D

12/1

Off for nearly 2 years before returning in late August but returned to form when second of 11 to Popular Dream at C&D earlier in the month. Not given a hard time after putting himself on the back foot at Newcastle last week, so no surprise if closer to form here.

Form: 3/06720

Ezra Cee^v¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Rose Dawes| T: D Shaw| OR: 50

22/1

Free-going sort who clearly hasn't been the easiest to train. Well below form all 3 starts for present yard.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 45| D

Forecasts

Popular Dream (13/8), Mimime (9/4), One For Harvey (4/1), Fletcher's Flight (12/1), Aleppo Pepper (12/1), Midnight Lir (14/1), Crypto Quest (20/1), Twilight Madness (25/1), Man On A Mission (25/1), Desdemona (50/1), Lil Wade (100/1), Ezra Cee (100/1), She Went Whoosh (200/1)

POPULAR DREAM saves his best for C&D and can defy a 5 lb rise to win here for the second time this month. One For Harvey got the better of Mimime when the pair met over C&D last month and both are respected again with the latter having scored since.
