Bernie The Bear¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 52| C| D

2/1

Course winner. 10/3, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 14 days ago. 2 lb nudge fair enough and another bold show anticipated.

Form: 421241

(2)

Coast²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: S Dixon| OR: 51| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in August. 11/1, good second of 12 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Has won off higher marks than this in the past and she's a key player.

Form: 721782

(9)

One For The Ladies^v¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 49| CD

3/1

C&D winner. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 17 days ago, left poorly placed. Her turn is near judged on that display and she needs considering off the same mark.

Form: 933093

(4)

Macho Mania¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 48

22/1

Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 22/1) 12 days ago, going off too hard. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 790357

Dodgy Bob^b²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 48| C| D

11/1

Course winner. 3 wins from 17 runs this year. Latest win at Thirsk in September. 33/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Can make his presence felt.

Form: 001685

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 48

40/1

Tenth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Newcastle (5f) 45 days ago. Up in trip and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 4/993-00

(6)

Flip Mode⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 47| D

20/1

25/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 51 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 878009

Mai Alward¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: T Davidson| OR: 46| D

22/1

Last of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 40/1) 13 days ago. Looks set for another struggle.

Form: 036000

(10)

Sir Sidney Smith⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 46

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in minor event (25/1) at Redcar (6f, good) 55 days ago. Makes handicap debut and big step forward needed.

Form: 656

(7)

Ma Famille²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Mr Oliver Timms⁽⁷⁾| T: C G Cox| OR: 45

16/1

Eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 21 days ago. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 207868

(3)

Tommytwohoots^v1¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Laura Pearson| T: S A Harris| OR: 45| CD

10/1

C&D winner. One win from 31 Flat runs. Fifth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Catterick (5f, heavy) 13 days ago. Back up in trip and hopes pinned on the first-time visor sparking a return to form.

Form: 207795

(5)

Mick Says No¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 45

100/1

66/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 17 days ago and it's hard to envisage this filly playing a leading role.

Form: 464799

Forecasts

Bernie The Bear (2/1), One For The Ladies (3/1), Coast (7/2), Tommytwohoots (10/1), Dodgy Bob (11/1), Ma Famille (16/1), Flip Mode (20/1), Macho Mania (22/1), Mai Alward (22/1), Sir Sidney Smith (33/1), Dalglish (40/1), Mick Says No (100/1)

The vote goes to COAST who was collared in the shadow of the post over C&D last time, having made what appeared at the time to be a race-winning move just over twofurlongs out. She remains on a competitive mark and the booking of Luke Morris adds to her appeal. One For The Ladies also shaped well over C&D recently and is feared most ahead of the consistent Bernie The Bear, who has gone up only 2 lb for his Newcastle success a fortnight ago.
