One For The Frog^p1,t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: S Woods| OR: 70

18/1

Off the mark in minor event at Wolverhampton in April but hasn't gone on from that effort since, below form in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 13 days ago. However, it remains early days for him on turf and now has cheekpieces applied with good-value claimer on board.

Form: 2-41758

Oriental Art^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D M Simcock| OR: 64

11/4

Remains a maiden after 20 starts but has been holding his form well this year, left poorly placed when runner-up at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he can be thereabouts once more.

Form: 436322

Sarkha^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 63| D

14/1

Opened account in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield in May. Only mid-field on his next 2 starts, though, and well below form when down the field at Sandown (10f, good) 12 days ago. Others preferred.

Change Of Fortune^p1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 63

16/1

Ran one of this year's better races when third of 6 in maiden at Ffos Las (1m, good) in July. However, not in the same form in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Needs to find improvement with cheekpieces on first time.

Platinum Prince^v³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: G & J Moore| OR: 62| BF| D

13/2

Attracted support (3/1) and ran up to his best when third at Lingfield (10f, AW) at the beginning of July, looking a more straightforward ride than he had on his penultimate start. Task is now to build on his latest effort.

Form: 338-843

Lawn Ranger¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: M J Attwater| OR: 62| CD

10/11

Front runner who has won four times at this C&D, with his latest success here in April. Is in better heart than his recent form figures suggest, doing too much too soon when mid-field at Sandown (10f, good) 12 days ago. Can bounce back to winning ways at this course.

Form: 145367

Forecasts

Lawn Ranger (10/11), Oriental Art (11/4), Platinum Prince (13/2), Sarkha (14/1), Change Of Fortune (16/1), One For The Frog (18/1)

Four-time C&D winner LAWN RANGER has been in better heart than his recent form figures suggest, doing too much too soon at Sandown on his latest outing, so he can return to winning ways back at this venue. Oriental Art has finished runner-up on his last 2 starts and can go well again with cheekpieces reapplied, with Platinum Prince the pick of the remainder.
