Eligible¹⁰^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 70| CD

10/3

Three-time C&D winner. 4/1, cashed in on drop in grade in 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 10 days ago. Carries 4 lb penalty but can remain very competitive.

Form: 087441

(2)

Federal Envoy¹⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: I Jardine| OR: 72| CD

15/2

Winning debut over C&D in March. Good fifth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good, 33/1), keeping on when short of room. Off 160 days. First run for yard after leaving K. R. Burke and current mark asks for more.

Form: 15705

Thorntonledale Max²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: D M Simcock| OR: 72| D

12/1

Winner at Kempton in August. Last of 12 in handicap back there (8f, 16/1) 23 days ago, not for the first time getting it wrong at the start. Back in trip.

South Kensington¹⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 71

66/1

Blinkered for first time, last of 7 in handicap (18/1) at Ffos Las (8f, good), slowly away. Off 170 days. First run for yard after leaving Hugo Palmer and she has plenty to prove.

Form: 0325-77

King Of Ithaca⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Tate| OR: 71| CD

11/4

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (2/1) at this C&D 41 days ago, ultimately well on top. Compiling a very good course record so has to be of serious interest.

Form: 641381

Visibility²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 69| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. 6/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 28 days ago. Pretty consistent without having anything in hand of his mark.

Lord Rapscallion^v⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 68| D

9/4

Eleven runs since last win in 2023 though perhaps unlucky not to end that run when good second of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 8 days ago, despite conceding first run and also forced to switch. Has to be taken very seriously.

Form: 030042

(9)

Autumn Rose²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63| D

16/1

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 28 days ago, driven out. 4 lb rise pitches her into a better race.

Form: 184061

Cable Beach³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: A Elliott| T: T P Tate| OR: 52

100/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 35 days ago. Needs to up his game.

Form: 5968

Forecasts

Lord Rapscallion (9/4), King Of Ithaca (11/4), Eligible (10/3), Alreet Cha (5/1), Federal Envoy (15/2), Thorntonledale Max (12/1), Autumn Rose (16/1), Visibility (16/1), South Kensington (66/1), Cable Beach (100/1)

LORD RAPSCALLION is a regular in better races than this and arguably should have won back from a short break at Chelmsford last week. He looks too well weighted to ignore so gets the nod in favour of King of Ithaca, who is building up a good record over C&D and last-time-out winner Eligible.
