Changing The Guardt41
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-12| J: T Dowling(7)| T: F Brennan| OR:  100
16/1
Returned to fences and form when finishing 2L second over an extended 2m at Newton Abbot (good-to-soft) last time out. Races off the same mark today and one to note in this contest.
2
Horse silk
Rakaia Rosa11
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-11| J: Dave Crosse| T: D L Williams| OR:  99
20/1
Usually leads and made a winning debut for this yard in a three runner Towcester (2m4f, good-to-firm) contest in May. Disappointing since but back down to her last winning mark with the drop in trip likely to suit also.
3
Horse silk
Saffron Prince24
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-9| J: Daniel Hiskett(5)| T: D G Bridgwater| OR:  97
7/1
Saw off Changing The Guard over an extended 2m at Newton Abbot (good-to-soft) on his penultimate outing but finished a well held third off this mark over C&D subsequently. Likely to prefer softer ground than is forecast today.
4
Horse silk
Code Of Law24
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-8| J: N D Fehily| T: N P Mulholland| OR:  96| CD
6/5
Successful for the first time in a 15 race career when an impressive winner over C&D on good-to-firm ground last month. Raised 7lb by the handicapper for that success and a leading contender with similar ground conditions forecast today.
5
Horse silk
Keppel Isle24
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-7| J: J E Moore| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR:  95| D
20/1
Disappointing in four starts since winning at Kempton (2m2f, good) in May last year. Making just his second appearance of the year when pulling up behind Code Of Law over C&D last time out and others make more appeal.
6
Horse silk
Humbel Benp41
Age: 14|  Weight: 11-4| J: T Scudamore| T: A E Jones| OR:  92| C| D
9/1
Winner of his first two outings since rejoining this yard around this time last year and made a satisfactory return when third to Saffron Prince at Newton Abbot (good-to-soft) in July. Market likely to prove the best guide as to expectations today.
7
Horse silk
Spiritofchartwell99
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-8| J: Miss K Lyons(7)| T: P York| OR:  82
16/1
Runner-up off a 3lb higher mark over C&D on good ground two years ago but sole success since came in an Intermediate point-to-point at Charing (good-to-firm) in April. Well held in that sphere last time out and work to do today.
8
Horse silk
Housepartyp,t24
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-0| J: Tabitha Worsley(7)| T: N J Gifford| OR:  73| CD
6/1
Ran well on his return to rules racing when beaten 10L by Code Of Law over C&D when wearing a tongue tie for the first time last month. Races from 1lb out of the weights and amateur rider has won on him over C&D in the past.
9
Horse silk
Alottarainp18
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-0| J: Michael Heard(5)| T: J W Mullins| OR:  71
11/1
Won just one of her 27 races to date and well held over fences the last twice. Has won off a higher mark over hurdles but others make more appeal racing from out of the handicap today.

Forecasts

Code Of Law (6/5), Houseparty (6/1), Saffron Prince (7/1), Humbel Ben (9/1), Alottarain (11/1), Spiritofchartwell (16/1), Changing The Guard (16/1), Rakaia Rosa (20/1), Keppel Isle (20/1)

Verdict

CODE OF LAW impressed when winning over C&D last month and he can register a second C&D victory with forecast ground conditions similar to those which he experienced on that occasion. The runner-up that day Houseparty has his regular jockey on board once more and they can finish third off a light weight while top weight Changing The Guard can follow up his solid effort last time out by claiming third today.
