Nezar¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 76| D

16/1

Disappointing efforts the last twice here and at Wolverhampton. Second here back in June but overall is none from 10 at this course and there are enough reasons to look elsewhere overall.

Form: 257600

Danecase^v²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: David Dennis| OR: 75| D

12/1

Won at Leicester last time out over 6f where he won by a comfortable 2L. 4lb rise for that not enough to rule him out and has won over 7f in the past although he only just lasts it out.

Form: 234861

Gabrial The Tiger¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74| D

50/1

Gained ninth career win and second of the campaign when winning over this trip at Musselburgh last time out. Only raised 2lb which looks lenient but unplaced in all six previous AW races which has to be a concern.

Form: 710001

(12)

Fair Power¹²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: J Butler| OR: 73

25/1

Not seen since the summer when he failed to fire in four starts. Changed yards now and starts out here over an unfamiliar trip given his last two wins have come over 1m2f. Mark potentially within his grasp but doubts aplenty.

Form: 39-0957

(4)

Bella Ferrari^h²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: George Scott| OR: 74

16/1

6f Yarmouth win in August her first but lesser efforts since over 7f at Leicester and Lingfield and AW form (three starts) is far from compelling so there appear safer bets elsewhere.

Form: 436177

(1)

Bounty Pursuit⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Blake| OR: 73| CD

16/1

C&D winner last year also ran well (second) in only subsequent start here. Won at Leicester in the summer before two lesser efforts but AW record is stronger and could be well treated for return to this clearly enjoyed C&D.

Form: 623150

(3)

Diocles Of Rome¹⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 73

13/8

Looked set to get off the mark here penultimately before tiring late on over 1m and finishing second. Lesser effort since but subsequently been gelded and should find this trip ideal so looks a leading contender here.

Form: 6-42426

(5)

American Endeavour^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: M Botti| OR: 73| CD

11/2

C&D win here last time came on the back of three solid AW efforts this autumn. Raised 4lb for that so the task here is a little tougher but she looks an improving filly so not ruled out.

Form: 1-04241

(13)

The Lamplighter^t²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: George Baker| OR: 71

9/1

12-race maiden followed up second in a Leicester seller by filling the same slot here over C&D latest in a handicap. This arguably a stronger contest and raised 2lb so may need to improve further to make the frame again.

Form: 346822

(6)

Enzo¹²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: L P Keniry| T: J Butler| OR: 70| BF

16/1

Second in final two starts for Ed Walker when last seen in the summer albeit the latest a well beaten second of four. Current mark should be within his compass but absence gives him a bit to prove.

Form: 708522

(2)

Air Of York^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 67| D

14/1

Highly experienced 11-time winner wasn't beaten far over C&D when fourth two starts back. Disappointing since at Bath however and not the most consistent these days so others more appealing.

Form: 224940

(9)

Perfect Lady²²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 67

8/1

Not seen since early this season but second in novice races at Wolverhampton and here over 6f with the latest behind Ripp Orf who has won three races since and is now rated 98. Changed stables now but has potential to be seriously well treated.

Form: 4-22

(11)

Roman Warrior¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Charles Bishop| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 66

16/1

Eight-race maiden stayed on into a never nearer sixth, beaten 3L over C&D when last seen. Still relatively lightly raced so has potential to improve but needs to do so here.

Form: 622776

Forecasts

Diocles Of Rome (13/8), American Endeavour (11/2), Perfect Lady (8/1), The Lamplighter (9/1), Danecase (12/1), Thechildren'strust (12/1), Air Of York (14/1), Nezar (16/1), Bounty Pursuit (16/1), Roman Warrior (16/1), Bella Ferrari (16/1), Enzo (16/1), Fair Power (25/1), Gabrial The Tiger (50/1)

PERFECT LADY chased home a horse who has developed into a very smart handicapper when last seen back in March and was well clear of the third who is now rated 73 so that form suggests this mark of 67 could be well short of her ability level and therefore a chance is taken on her fitness. Diocles Of Rome was 3L clear over 1m here penultimately so 7f on this surface should be ideal and he has been gelded now which may help him become more consistent. American Endeavour is on the up and respected on the back of her C&D win last time out.
