Autumn Angel³²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Mollie Phillips⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 61

Coronation Cottage¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: M S Saunders| OR: 55| CD

3/1

C&D winner. 9/2, back in the right grade but was below form when seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago. Mark eases a further 3 lb and she's fancied to be in the mix.

Form: 723467

Nacho^p,t³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Russell| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 52| D

9/2

Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. 8/1, ran creditably from an unpromising position when second of 10 in handicap there (5.1f) 30 days ago. All wins have come at that venue but he's not totally dismissed.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁷⁾| T: D Faulkner| OR: 50| CD

10/11

C&D winner in August. 7/2, did well under the circumstances when third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 3 days ago, no extra only late on having taken strong hold. Shortlisted.

Kaswarah^p³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 45

14/1

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 22/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 3 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Fossos (10/11), Coronation Cottage (3/1), Nacho (9/2), Kaswarah (14/1), Autumn Angel (18/1)

A low-key start to proceedings in which previous C&D winners CORONATION COTTAGE and Fossos look the ones to focus on. Malcolm Saunders' charge is now just 2 lb above her last winning mark and she gets the verdict to open her account for the season. The aforementioned Fossos continues in good heart so he should be in the mix once again, with Nacho completing the shortlist.
