Came From The Dark²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: R Coakley| T: E Walker| OR: 100| D

5/1

Bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, heavy, 14/1) 25 days ago. 2 lb lower now making tapeta debut and he shouldn't be underestimated on balance.

Form: 21-0085

(2)

Fine Wine^b¹⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 94| CD

10/1

3-time C&D winner. 4 wins from 14 runs this year. Below form eleventh of 20 in "Dash" handicap at Epsom (5f, good) in June. Absent since but no surprise to see a good showing returned to this venue.

Form: 235210

(6)

Papa Don't Preach^h¹⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: K Frost| OR: 94| D

66/1

Landed a small-field novice event (5.1f) on debut for Charles Hills 12 months ago but absent since finishing last of 12 in handicap at Windsor in May and he's since switched yards. Market likely to prove the best guide.

Form: 5401-59

(3)

Night On Earth⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: Ian Williams| OR: 93| D

12/1

3 wins from 19 runs this year. 33/1, first run since leaving Michael Appleby when below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good) 53 days ago. Eased 2 lb subsequently and he's not out of things returned to all weather.

Form: 853016

(8)

Alligator Alley^t⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 92| BF| D

15/2

Latest win at Thirsk in August. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (7/2) at Haydock (5f, firm) 74 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Silky Wilkie⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 90| D

9/2

3 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Haydock in August. Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap (9/1) at York (5f, good) 73 days ago, never nearer. Should give another good account.

Form: 121465

Digital⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: T Eaves| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 89| CD

4/1

C&D winner. 17/2, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 62 days ago, no extra close home having showed good speed. Return to the minimum trip will hold no fears starting out for new yard and he's worth a second look.

Form: 555052

(9)

Count D'Orsay²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: T D Easterby| OR: 84| D

14/1

Thirty three runs since last win in 2020. Sixth of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft, 10/1) 21 days ago, ridden 2f out and never a threat.

Form: 303586

(4)

Intervention^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: Theodore Ladd| T: M Appleby| OR: 80| C

7/2

Course winner. 7 wins from 20 runs this year. Latest win at Yarmouth in August. Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Kempton (6f) 7 days ago, weakening only late on. Mark possibly just about right at present.

Form: 180236

Forecasts

Intervention (7/2), Digital (4/1), Silky Wilkie (9/2), Came From The Dark (5/1), Alligator Alley (15/2), Fine Wine (10/1), Night On Earth (12/1), Count D'Orsay (14/1), Papa Don't Preach (66/1)

Claims can be made for a host here and it may just pay to side with DIGITAL. Impressive when scoring over C&D earlier in the year, he ran well when runner-up over further at Chelmsford on his latest outing in September, he's now 1 lb below his last winning mark and earns the vote on debut for Roger Fell. Alligator Alley and Night On Earth are others to consider.
