Disappointing odds-on favourite in a claimer last time out, which was a step backwards on the form of his two previous start for his current yard.. Now 4lb lower than his last winning mark but not one to trust implicitly.

11/4
Not particularly well handicapped for this return to hurdling but is capable at this level and is more consistent that most. Yard in good form and capable conditional rider booked, so dangerous to ignore.

9/2
Capable on his day but has been expensive to follow. Experiments with previous combinations of a tongue tie and headgear haven't been too fruitful. Possible he'll respond positively to the fitting of blinkers but another who has his own ideas.

9/1
Mixed fortunes since winning at Huntingdon in May but this is easier than a few of his previous assignments; and notable he was a good second over C&D last year. Adapted well to racing in blinkers and one of the more convincing contenders on show.

16/1
Consistent at this level and is a previous C&D winner of a similar type of race. May have needed the run latest, so likely to be a good bit sharper this time. Shortlisted.

Respectable effort latest and claims if able to use that as a platform. Not won since 2015 but no surprise to see the mare take a hand but this trip may be on the sharp side these days.

Forecasts

Cliffside Park (11/10), Honkytonktennessee (11/4), Hongkong Adventure (9/2), Osgood (9/1), Back To Balloo (10/1), Changing The Guard (16/1), Anginola (33/1)

Verdict

OSGOOD has gone well over C&D before now and makes plenty of appeal as a consistent enough type to give his rider a safe - and possibly successful - conveyance round. Changing The Guard also has solid C&D form to his name and appeals as the biggest threat on this occasion. Anginola posted one of her better effort last time out and can scrap it out with Honkytonktennessee as the best of the rest.
