Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: M Botti| OR: 82| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 13 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D 12 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 28912-3

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Butler| OR: 78| CD

4/1

The Thunderer¹⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Charles Bishop| T: S Curran| OR: 77| C

25/1

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this course (11f, 15/2), slowly away. Off 106 days. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Chris Wall. Merits respect.

Form: 562641-

Rogue Force^h⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 75| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 17/2) 61 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Others make more appeal.

Form: 514047-

Satin Snake^b⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Murtagh| T: A Keatley| OR: 70| C

17/2

5/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this course (7f) 8 days ago, kept up to work. Carries penalty. Bang in form and likely to go well again.

Form: 7831-21

(5)

Golden Sands^p,h²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 70

14/1

Three wins from 14 runs last year. 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 20 days ago, having run of race. Not sure to be in the same form.

Form: 968002-

Forecasts

Dembe (11/4), Aguaplano (7/2), Uzincso (4/1), Rogue Force (6/1), Keyser Soze (17/2), Satin Snake (17/2), Golden Sands (14/1), The Thunderer (25/1)

DEMBE shaped well when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and, if the race is run to suit, he's likely to go one better despite the presence of Satin Snake, who is thriving at the moment. Aguaplano is also in good order and likely to be on the premises.
