9/1

Twenty-five runs since sole win in 2022. Wasn't seen to best effect but still ran creditably down in grade when third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 28/1) 11 days ago, slowly away. Expected to be bang there from a career-low mark.

20/1

3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Bath in June. 14/1, found run of good form coming to a halt in no uncertain terms when last of 11 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Bounce back needed.

40/1

Snooze Lane^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Gina Mangan| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 61| CD

16/1

3-time C&D winner, latest in April. Typically gave running back on all-weather after 10 weeks off when fourth of 13 in handicap (9/1) at this course (8.6f) 14 days ago. Likely to find a few too strong.

Forecasts

Charlotte's Web (13/8), Fihrayn (9/2), Yeoman (5/1), Rosenzoo (13/2), Francesi (9/1), Master Of Combat (12/1), Snooze Lane (16/1), Precision Storm (20/1), Light Up Our Stars (40/1)

FRANCESI has just the sole success to his name, but he's been shaping up well in recent starts so gets the nod to double his tally having dropped to a career-low mark at the expense of Master of Combat, who ran a shocker at Ascot last time but is back down in class here. Charlotte's Web can edge out Snooze Lane for the bronze medal.
