Fortune And Glory^p1³³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 65| CD

33/1

C&D winner. First run since leaving Joseph Tuite when bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Salisbury (8f, good) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he looks vulnerable.

Form: 954794

Proclaimer¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 64| CD

2/1

2/1, improved on recent efforts to win 13-runner handicap at this C&D 18 days ago, well ridden. 4 lb rise fair enough and he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 47-9071

(7)

Al Tarmaah^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: L Carter| OR: 62

125/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 18 days ago, missing break. Uphill task.

Whatzupwithme¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Philip Prince| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 63| CD

9/2

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D (12/1) 13 days ago, all out. 3 lb rise for that narrow success is tolerable and he's in with a shout.

Form: 49-6841

(1)

Carpentier^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 62

15/2

Creditable 1¼ lengths third of 13 to Proclaimer in handicap (10/1) at this C&D 18 days ago, better placed than most. Cheekpieces on 1st time and another prominent showing likely.

Forecasts

Proclaimer (2/1), Whatzupwithme (9/2), Coverham (11/2), Buckingham (6/1), Deep Sigh (6/1), Across The Nile (6/1), Carpentier (15/2), Star Of Valour (16/1), Fortune And Glory (33/1), Subliminal (80/1), Al Tarmaah (125/1)

COVERHAM put in a good shift on turf at Doncaster last time and gets the nod returned to the all-weather off a workable mark. Proclaimer had Carpentier behind in third when bouncing back to form with a C&D victory and, still on a fair mark following a 4 lb rise, he has to be feared. Carpentier is now tried in cheekpieces and should again be on the premises, while Across The Nile also has claims.
