Exquisite Ruby³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Hills| OR: 59| BF

4/1

Eight race maiden but signs that a win isn't far away when finishing a close second over 5f here in September. Beaten favourite subsequently and best form has come over the minimum trip.

Form: 653245

Compton Prince^b⁹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Kerrie Raybould⁽⁷⁾| T: J M Bradley| OR: 59| CD

16/1

Winner eight times so far including over an extended 5f at Bath (good-to-firm) in June. Well held since including at Wolverhampton last time out.

Form: 010678

Termsnconditions^v²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 58| CD

5/1

Twice a winner from six starts on the AW and put in a fair effort when fifth of 12 over this trip at Newcastle last time out. Was successful off this mark over C&D in April.

Form: 115785

(5)

Quite A Story^p1¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Charlie Bennett| T: A Watson| OR: 55| D

2/1

Dual winner but disappointing when finishing only eighth over 6f at Wolverhampton when making her debut for this yard at the end of last month. Wears cheekpieces for the first time today.

Form: 465748

(11)

Dontforgettocall^v²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Patrick Pilley| T: J Tuite| OR: 55| BF

10/1

Maiden after ten starts but ran well to finish runner-up over 5f at Kempton in a first time visor (retained since) last month. Fair effort when fourth in a classified contest subsequently but likely to find at least one too good once more.

Form: 6-67923

(9)

Krazy Paving^b⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs A L M King| OR: 55| CD

10/1

Successful twice already this year and returning from a five month absence when finishing well beaten at Kempton in September. Probably best watched at present.

Form: 121660

(6)

Spitfire Limited^h²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: H Crouch| T: George Baker| OR: 50

7/1

Career best effort when 3L second over 5f at Wolverhampton three weeks ago. That effort came in a classified contest and it's interesting to see how she fares on handicap debut.

Form: 7602

(4)

Autumn Tonic^b,e/s1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: C Wallis| OR: 49| D

20/1

Well held in six starts since joining this yard in the spring. Handicap mark is falling as a result and he wears an eyeshield for the first time today.

Form: 059080

(12)

Flying Sakhee^p³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 48

33/1

Maiden after 20 starts and not built on a promising second at Goodwood (6f, good) in August in two subsequent racecourse appearances. Others have a more obvious chance today.

Form: 656385

(7)

Aegean Boy³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J J Bridger| OR: 48

33/1

Seven race maiden and well beaten at big prices in two handicap starts since joining this yard. Likely to struggle today.

Form: 76790-8

(3)

Mistry^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45

18/1

Placed twice from nine starts including when second in a maiden over C&D in February. Likely to have improved for her return from over eight months off the track last time out and she may surprise a few better fancied rivals today.

Form: 572258

(8)

Blackadder¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Keelan Baker⁽⁷⁾| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 45

50/1

Maiden following 24 starts and well beaten over 1m on his two most recent starts. Others make more appeal in this contest.

Form: 836500

Forecasts

Quite A Story (2/1), Exquisite Ruby (4/1), Termsnconditions (5/1), Spitfire Limited (7/1), Dontforgettocall (10/1), Krazy Paving (10/1), Compton Prince (16/1), Mistry (18/1), Autumn Tonic (20/1), Flying Sakhee (33/1), Aegean Boy (33/1), Blackadder (50/1)

TERMSNCONDITIONS can maintain his unbeaten record over this C&D by registering a third victory here off the same mark that saw him successful here in April. Spitfire Limited put in her best effort in a classified contest last time out and can claim second on handicap debut while top weight Exquisite Ruby, who's best efforts have come over shorter looks capable of claiming third today while Mistry is another to note in this concluding event.
