Lion Ring²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 57| CD

2/1

In fine form last month, rattling off quick-fire hat-trick in 10-runner C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. However, very easy to back up in grade and could only finish ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 2 days ago. This less demanding at least back down in class.

Due Date^v¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: L Morris| T: C Wallis| OR: 56| CD

12/1

C&D winner. 4 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in August. Eighth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 19 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Rogue Thunder^h,t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Finley Marsh| T: P Morris| OR: 54| C

13/2

Course winner but struggled since joining present yard, never involved when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago. Mark continues to slide though and refitting of a hood/tongue tie could help. Worth a precautionary market check.

Doves Of Peace^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Joe Bradnam⁽⁷⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 54| CD

9/2

C&D winner. 11/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 7 days ago, suited by way race developed. Can make presence felt.

Time Patrol¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie| T: A W Carroll| OR: 53| D

6/1

Latest win at Bath in August. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 20/1) 19 days ago, just failing. Expected to be bang there from 1 lb higher mark.

Araifjan^p,t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Herrington| OR: 52| CD

5/1

4-time C&D winner who ran his best race for some time when good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1) 12 days ago. Fallen to a handy mark and he's one to be interested in on the back of that.

Q Twenty Boy²³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Alicia Perkins⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 52| CD

11/1

Three wins this year, with latest success at this course (5f) in August. Creditable display without being ideally placed when fifth in 10-runner C&D handicap 23 days ago and lines up here operating from last winning mark.

Midnight Flame^p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: William Cox| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 47

33/1

Remains a maiden after 26 Flat runs. 18/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 10 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 065527

Forecasts

Lion Ring (2/1), Doves Of Peace (9/2), Araifjan (5/1), Time Patrol (6/1), Rogue Thunder (13/2), Q Twenty Boy (11/1), Due Date (12/1), Midnight Flame (33/1)

TIME PATROL ran right up to his best when a strong finishing second at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and Tony Carroll's charge edges the vote to come out on top operating from a 1 lb higher mark. Araifjan and Doves of Peace are others fancied to play lead roles.
