(4)

Birkenhead^p¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Barry McHugh| T: P T Midgley| OR: 65| CD

11/2

C&D winner. 8/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Enters calculations off a workable mark.

Form: 543534

(6)

Zuffolo^v¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 62| BF| D

7/2

Latest win at Newcastle in September. Bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap (7/2) at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Probably a shade too high in the weights for now. Yard also saddles Nelson Gay.

Form: 832515

Havechatma^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jefferson Smith| T: D K Ivory| OR: 62| CD

13/2

Three-time C&D winner. 17/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 19 days ago and others are more persuasive.

Form: 636548

(5)

Son Of Wind²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: I Mohammed| OR: 62| D

12/1

13/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 25 days ago and he's likely to come up short once again.

Form: 27-4558

(7)

Nelson Gay^b,t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Dods| OR: 60| CD

12/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 14 runs this year, the latest at Ayr in May. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 9/2) 19 days ago and, now 5 lb below his last winning mark, this 7-y-o is high on the shortlist.

Form: 147654

(3)

Woodhay Whisper^h¹⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 60

16/1

Winner at Chelmsford City in April. Last of 4 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 8/1). Off 100 days and back down in trip on debut for new yard and it's probably best to look elsewhere this time.

Form: 231244

(1)

Irish Dancer^b,t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 57| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Creditable second of 13 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm, 20/1) 11 days ago, no match for winner. One to consider back here (good course record).

Form: 211742

(2)

Bayraat¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Fahy| T: T P Tate| OR: 54

7/2

One win from 25 Flat runs, which was gained back in 2023. Fourteenth of 16 in handicap (18/1) at Doncaster (5f, good) 13 days ago and he looks set for another struggle.

Form: 378800

Forecasts

Bayraat (7/2), Zuffolo (7/2), Irish Dancer (4/1), Birkenhead (11/2), Havechatma (13/2), Nelson Gay (12/1), Son Of Wind (12/1), Woodhay Whisper (16/1)

Twice a winner over C&D earlier this year and also successful on turf during the spring, NELSON GAY looks the way to go on the back of a respectable effort at Lingfield. He has slipped to a dangerous mark and shades preference ahead of Birkenhead, who has held his form pretty well since scoring at Catterick in April. Irish Dancer is fairly consistent on the whole and he also enters calculations.
