Jez Bomb^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S A Gray| T: S England| OR: 64| CD

2/1

Gained a fourth win in his last 7 starts when seeing off 10 rivals over C&D 18 days ago. A further 2 lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing.

Form: 241611

Absolutely Buzzing³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: M Wigham| OR: 63| D

4/1

Winner at Chelmsford (1m) in August. 11/2, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 35 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Unexposed sort who may have more to offer.

Form: 88-8613

(8)

Mambha^p⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Dods| OR: 62| CD

17/2

40/1, career best when winning 12-runner C&D handicap 44 days ago, suited by the step back up in trip. Should remain competitive up 5 lb.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: A D Brown| OR: 61| CD

Jumeira Vision²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: K Scott| OR: 58| D

6/1

Respectable fourth of 11 in C&D handicap (28/1) 25 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently.

Form: 547044

(4)

Tasever^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 53| CD

10/3

Came good at the 24th time of asking in 12-runner C&D handicap 11 days ago. While that record doesn't mark him down as an obvious sort to follow up a 3lb rise looks fair.

Form: 883621

(2)

Pop Favorite¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: S Dixon| OR: 50| CD

18/1

Six-time C&D winner, the latest in October. Bit below form 6 lengths seventh of 12 to Tasever here 11 days ago.

Form: 455167

Kraken Diamond²¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45

28/1

Has a basement mark to work with now starting out for Jim Goldie but better perhaps the best guide to expectations after 7 months off.

Form: 254667

Forecasts

Jez Bomb (2/1), Tasever (10/3), Absolutely Buzzing (4/1), Jumeira Vision (6/1), Mambha (17/2), Pop Favorite (18/1), Likeashadow (22/1), Kraken Diamond (28/1)

JEZ BOMB has been a real improver in the second half of the year and might be able to defy the handicapper again. Tasever finally came good here last time and is second choice ahead of Absolutely Buzzing.
