Selected odds by:

(8)

Court Of Session^v²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: P S McEntee| OR: 60

Winless in 20 starts. Showed form over the summer but last of 10 at Chelmsford (14/1) 25 days ago, slowly away and never figured. Eases in grade with Sean Levey back aboard now but needs improvement.

Form: 453950

(7)

Rockstar Icon^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Oliver Cole| OR: 60| D

Inconsistent this season before attracting support when third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (10/3) 16 days ago over 6f, running creditably. Returns to 7f which should suit and claims if in the same form with cheekpieces reapplied.

Form: 469483

(5)

Good Karma³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: J Riches| OR: 59| CD

Impressive winner at Thirsk 104 days ago and has previous course and distance winning form. Third of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6/1) 33 days ago, confirming return to form having been well placed throughout. He ticks plenty of boxes and has solid claims returning to the all-weather.

Form: 8-81543

(10)

Sanditon⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: C Johnston| OR: 60

Best effort to date when second in handicap at Catterick (17/2) but finished last of 10 at Musselburgh (4/1) 43 days ago, proving a big let-down. Remains to be seen if he can get back on track.

Form: 4-58820

(4)

Bomb Squad^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Mackie| OR: 58| C| D

Course winner finished runner-up (12/1) over 7f here 41 days ago, beaten only by a 3yo, and finished third (7/1) at Newcastle over 6f 27 days ago. Consistent at this level and should challenge again.

Form: 337723

(11)

Ravenglass^v²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 56| CD

Five-time winner, including at course and distance, who was sixth of 10 in a Bath handicap (9/1) 27 days ago when his good form came to a halt. Will need a change of headgear to do the trick on return to this venue.

Form: 129376

(9)

Vizzavona Lady²⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: Jack Jones| OR: 57

Lightly-raced filly raced freely returning from a break when fourth of 13 in a 7f handicap at Kempton (18/1) 201 days ago, making good headway late despite not getting a clear run. Open to improvement on just her fifth career start and leading contender if she can settle on her return.

Form: 860-4

(3)

Just King High^h¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: T Faulkner| OR: 57

All-weather winner for previous yard. Disappointing in handicaps for new connections but did run better when sixth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (40/1) 12 days ago. Handicapper has given him another chance if he can build on that.

Form: 796896

(1)

Buttercross Flyer⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 51| D

Back to form recently with a win and two placed efforts on AW. Third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (17/2) 49 days ago, dwelt in mid-field, headway final 1f, no extra late on. Capable of going close again in a similar event.

Form: 766213

(2)

Rock Master⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: A W Carroll| OR: 48

Maiden with creditable recent form, finished second of 8 in conditions race at Yarmouth (4/1) 85 days ago, keeping on after hanging left. One to note for support back in a handicap on first run for new trainer.

Form: 364232

(6)

Embarked⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 46| CD

Third of 12 at this C&D (7/2) 21 days ago but wasn't in the same form when sixth of 11 here (7/1) 7 days ago, weakening in the final furlong. More needed to resume winning ways.

Form: 102436

Forecasts

Good Karma (11/4), Bomb Squad (4/1), Rockstar Icon (11/2), Buttercross Flyer (6/1), Rock Master (8/1), Ravenglass (10/1), Vizzavona Lady (10/1), Embarked (16/1), Sanditon (20/1), Court Of Session (25/1), Just King High (33/1)

GOOD KARMA confirmed his return to form when third at Redcar recently and the C&D winner looks the most solid option, though Vizzanova Lady could be a serious threat if returning in the same form she showed when an unlucky fourth at Kempton in April. Bomb Squad has hit the frame in back-to-back handicaps, including when runner-up over C&D, and may do so again.
