Max Mayhem⁸⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 99| CD

4/1

Made winning start for current yard at this C&D in April. However, followed good run with a below-par one when eighth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good, 6/1) 86 days ago. Could bounce back returned to all-weather.

Form: 3-18628

Graignes^h,t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: George Baker| OR: 92| CD

4/1

C&D winner in June. Shaped better than result when fifteenth of 34 in Cambridgeshire (80/1) at Newmarket (9f, good to firm) 37 days ago, not ideally placed. Had been in good form previously so he's a major player.

Form: 112320

Savvy Knight³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods| OR: 89| C| D

10/1

Successful here (12f) in June. Left a below-par effort on turf behind when fifth of 7 in handicap (7/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 35 days ago. Will need to build on his latest effort as he goes back up in grade.

Form: 814205

Capital Theory²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 87

6/1

Back to best when winning at Ayr in September and ran respectably when sixth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 20 days ago. Can give his running again.

Form: 273016

(9)

Civil Law⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 85

18/1

Unproven on testing ground but not discredited when fifth of 7 in handicap at Newbury (10f, heavy, 25/1) 45 days ago. Could go well back on all-weather having dropped to 2 lb below his last winning mark.

Form: 544945

(3)

Andaleep^t⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: R Kingscote| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 83| D

16/1

Better than ever when scoring at York in July. Step back in right direction when sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 40 days ago, caught too far back. Interesting contender racing off his lower mark on all-weather.

Form: 214086

Maso Bastie^b1⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 85

33/1

Made a winning reappearance at Nottingham in May. However, well-beaten twelfth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 40 days ago. Blinkers applied as he makes first run for yard after leaving James Fanshawe.

Form: 1-13920

(11)

Liseo^p,t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: David Probert| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 81

10/1

Off the mark at Chelmsford City in September and backed up that effort when fourth of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Windsor (10f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Could be thereabouts once more.

Form: 272214

(4)

Tenerife Sunshine^v1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: A Mullen| T: C Johnston| OR: 84| CD

6/1

Made a winning return at this C&D in August. Excuses both starts since, unsuited by conditions when eighth of 11 in handicap at York (13.8f, heavy, 16/1) 24 days ago. Back down in trip with visor on 1st time.

Form: 817-168

(8)

Duke Of Oxford^t1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: David Egan| T: M L W Bell| OR: 83| BF

28/1

Failed to build on promise of previous run when ninth of 12 in handicap (4/1) at this course (12f) 19 days ago, finding little. Tongue strap now fitted.

Form: 114039

Jack Sparowe³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: L Morris| T: J Butler| OR: 72| BF| CD

15/2

Two wins from 5 runs this year, including at this C&D in September. Shaped as if still in form when third of 10 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft, 11/4) 35 days ago, but will need to resume progress as he goes up in grade.

Form: 2-51513

(12)

Wadacre Gomez¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston| OR: 76| BF

12/1

Made all at Chelmsford City in August and has run well both starts since, fourth of 13 in handicap (5/2) at this course (12f) 12 days ago. Tougher ask to repeat the same tactics in this contest, though.

Form: 7V3124

Forecasts

Max Mayhem (4/1), Graignes (4/1), Capital Theory (6/1), Tenerife Sunshine (6/1), Jack Sparowe (15/2), Liseo (10/1), Savvy Knight (10/1), Wadacre Gomez (12/1), Andaleep (16/1), Civil Law (18/1), Duke Of Oxford (28/1), Maso Bastie (33/1)

The series final can go the way of GRAIGNES, who had been holding his form well prior to racing in the unfavoured far-side group in the Cambridgeshire last time. He is taken to see off the challenge of Liseo, who can give another good account back on all-weather, while C&D winner Max Mayhem is another to consider returned to polytrack.
