Redarna¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Jason Hart| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 80| CD

7/1

7-time C&D winner. 17/2, improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at this course (8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. A three-time winner of this, including 12 months ago, so this veteran is a player once more.

Abduction¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Lauren Young⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 79| CD

12/1

3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Chester in August. Only eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 9/1) 10 days ago but took this in 2022 so he must enter calculations.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 73| D

11/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. 40/1 and visored for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Can make presence felt if shrugging off latest effort.

Forecasts

Quest For Fun (13/8), Tactical Plan (5/1), Kelpie Grey (6/1), Redarna (7/1), Rock Melody (8/1), Al Muqdad (8/1), Liamarty Dreams (11/1), Abduction (12/1), Count Palatine (14/1), Priapos (80/1)

QUEST FOR FUN signalled he is ready to strike again when an excellent recent second over C&D so looks the way to go here. Veteran Redarna is feared most in his bid for a fourth success in this contest, although another past winner Abduction is also well in the mix. Tactical Plan completes the shortlist.
