Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: J Fanning| T: W Stone| OR: 70| D

2/1

Successful at Newbury in May and has run at least as well both starts since, beaten by an unexposed 3-y-o when second of 10 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good to soft, 11/2) 62 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 9-04122

Total Lockdown^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 63

13/2

Form: 866752

Gift Of Raaj¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 63

25/1

After 5 months off, below form when fourth of 5 in handicap (8/1) at Catterick (13.9f, soft) 16 days ago, despite having been well positioned. Has fallen further in the weights, but needs to leave his latest effort behind.

Form: 293-734

Rogue Tornado⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: R Coakley| T: Tom Clover| OR: 69| CD

11/4

Opened account at this C&D in July. Upped further in trip, found only a well-handicapped rival too strong when second of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good, 5/2) 49 days ago. Major player.

Form: 88-9212

(3)

Myboymax^p,t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 62| D

11/1

Made more impact than previously this season when second of 6 in handicap at Thirsk (14f, good to soft, 11/1) 19 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark, so he's shortlisted with cheekpieces reapplied.

Form: 875942

Kemerton¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: B A Curtis| T: Ian Williams| OR: 60

12/1

Failed to come on for reappearance run when ninth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (10f, soft, 33/1) 16 days ago. Has a bit to prove at present as he goes up in trip.

Form: 9470-99

(7)

Night Life²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford| OR: 61

14/1

Upped in trip, raced freely when fifth of 7 in handicap (22/1) at Ripon (12f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Bred to stay this far but will need to settle better if she's to be effective at this distance.

Form: 6-47365

Baltic^p1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 58

5/1

Rhyme Scheme^p,t¹¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: P Winks| OR: 49

150/1

Struggled for form on the Flat last year. Made no impression when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) when last seen in June. Best watched back on the level.

Analytics⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: J Butler| OR: 45

40/1

Form has gone the wrong way on her last 2 starts, always behind when last of 10 in minor event (17/2) at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 50 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 900370

Forecasts

Dashing Panther (2/1), Rogue Tornado (11/4), Baltic (5/1), Total Lockdown (13/2), Myboymax (11/1), Kemerton (12/1), Night Life (14/1), Gift Of Raaj (25/1), Analytics (40/1), Rhyme Scheme (150/1)

Having got off the mark at this C&D in July, ROGUE TORNADO bumped into one who is thriving when runner-up at Salisbury last time, so he is taken to resume winning ways back at this venue. Dashing Panther is respected having shown improved form upped to this trip in handicaps, with Myboymax completing the shortlist.
