Call My Bluff^p¹²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: D Allan| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 84| CD

33/1

C&D winner who has gone well fresh before but offered little returning from 2 years off when last of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, good to soft, 16/1). Off further 129 days and has plenty to prove.

Form: 32023/9

Campaign Trail^b1,t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 84| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for first time in this code, creditable second of 5 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 9/2) 30 days ago. Blinkers now the headgear of choice and stamina looks his forte on the level.

Form: 1161/22

Mighty Bandit³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Edward Greatrex| T: W Greatrex| OR: 82

7/2

Latest win at Ffos Las in August and another excellent effort when second of 6 in handicap (15/2) at Ffos Las (14f, heavy) 36 days ago, clear of rest. Expected to be bang there from the same mark with 2m sure to suit.

Rock N Roll Pinkie¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: H Crouch| T: I Furtado| OR: 82| C| D

4/1

Three wins from 8 runs in a productive 2025, latest of them at York in September. 16/5, respectable third of 7 in handicap at this course (14f, good to soft) 13 days ago and return to 2m no bad thing.

Good Show¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 81

3/1

Hamilton winner in May 2023 but very lightly raced since, fifth of 6 in handicap at Ascot (16f, good) 12 days ago, his worst effort for this yard. Drop in class can only help his cause, though.

Form: 180/685

Nathanael Greene^b,t⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Ralph| OR: 77

150/1

Tongue strap on for first time over jumps and pulled up in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good) 83 days ago. Hard to warm to on what he's achieved in either code for this stable.

Form: 4732/00-

Senor Cortez⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 76| D

4/1

Sent off 4/6 and improved another chunk when winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 50 days ago, plenty in hand. 8 lb higher now. First run for yard after leaving Robert Eddery and he looks a stayer on the up.

Form: 099211

(4)

St Mawes^v²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Egan| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 73| D

10/1

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Kempton (16f, 4/1) 27 days ago, despite wandering off a true line. Back in turf and he's not yet exposed.

Form: 63-4051

Forecasts

Good Show (3/1), Mighty Bandit (7/2), Rock N Roll Pinkie (4/1), Senor Cortez (4/1), Campaign Trail (5/1), St Mawes (10/1), Call My Bluff (33/1), Nathanael Greene (150/1)

SENOR CORTEZ is a stayer firmly on the up and having transferred yards since following up at Lingfield in August, the hat-trick beckons. Mighty Bandit could improve for the step up to 2m and is second choice, ahead of Campaign Trail.
