10/1

Disappointed when last of 6 in a conditions event at Beverley (5f, good) in September but he has a good AW record and has been given a chance by the handicapper. Cheekpieces back on. No surprise were he to go well.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: R Craggs| OR: 82| CD

6/4

Third AW win of the year when seeing off 8 rivals over C&D in September. Off 11 weeks, shaped as if just in need of the run when fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 5 days ago. Merits consideration.

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: P J McDonald| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 80| D

6/1

Latest win at Windsor in August. Good second of 11 in C&D handicap 27 days ago. First-time blinkers replacee regular visor. Ought to be thereabouts.

Captain's Bar^b¹⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 72

80/1

Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) in June (final start for Richard Hannon). Has to race from 4 lb out of the handicap on his return to action for a new stable.

Forecasts

Khabib (6/4), The Thin Blue Line (7/2), Lord Riddiford (6/1), Lipsink (6/1), Bedford Flyer (10/1), Spring Bloom (10/1), Media Guest (18/1), Captain's Bar (80/1)

BEDFORD FLYER has a good AW record so it may be worth taking a chance on him bouncing back to form as he has been given a chance by the handicapper (now 6 lb lower than when second on polytrack at Lingfield in April). Khabib may just have needed his recent Newcastle outing after a short break and is next best ahead of last month's C&D second Lipsink.
