17:00 – Sir Rodneyredblood

Charming Kid has good claims on his best form but he has other front-runners to contend with today. This should be run at a strong pace and that will suit SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD, who has had very few chances over 5f but came home strongly when winning over this trip at Lingfield and has numerous good runs here under his belt. Charming Kid may be next best ahead of Vandad.

NEW TO PADDY POWER?

17:30 – True Icon

Fizzy when a well-beaten favourite on her York debut last month, TRUE ICON proved much more amenable when second at Nottingham last week and is taken to progress past the exposed Turna. High Velocity is another with obvious claims.

18:00 – Lion Ring

No shortage of potential leaders, notably the well-drawn Araifjan and the not-so-well-drawn Rebel Redemption, who’s 2lb well in under a penalty for last Thursday’s easy C&D win. Lilkian, who’s stuck out in stall 12, is another happiest on the sharp end and this could be the night LION RING (nap) breaks his duck, with his latest effort here better than it looked.

18:30 – Flora Finch

Sir Mark Prescott’s well-bred newcomer Aldabra needs a close look in the market but both Mizzen You and FLORA FINCH showed enough on their respective debuts to think a similar race could fall their way. The form of Flora Finch’s Newcastle race looks solid and she can come out on top today.

19:00 – Harbour Vision

Despite being beaten last time, it would be dangerous to assume the in-form Sky Blue Thinking can’t resume her winning ways, so she has to be taken seriously. However, HARBOUR VISION has plenty going for him as he is back under his optimum conditions having won four times over C&D, while he remains 1lb lower than when last successful. The Mark Johnston pair, Prospect and Ventura Vision, are also previous C&D winners and both hold claims.

19:30 – Catch My Breath

Elusif dug very deep to win over 7f here 12 days ago and he should make another bold bid, while Hunters Step is better drawn today and Well Prepared ran well last time. It is hard to escape the claims of CATCH MY BREATH, however, with John Ryan’s gelding having looked a cut above 0-55 company when rewarding good support at Lingfield last week. He had to go around the houses in that race and still had plenty in hand so a 5lb penalty shouldn’t be beyond him.

20:00 – Plastic Paddy

Mountain Ash, Puffin Island and The King’s Steed all have something to recommend them but PLASTIC PADDY may prove the answer. The step up to 1m proved beneficial last time, finally delivering on his earlier promise, and there should be more to come at this trip.

20:30 – Lindwall

Having started handicap life on a lowly mark LINDWALL has clicked since upped in trip back from a break and is the only one open to improvement for a yard in decent late-season nick. Weardiditallgorong is a mare in form at a time of year when that counts for a lot but she still has to prove her stamina, while Bobby Kennedy, who was a beaten-favourite behind Lindwall back from a summer break last time, should do better.
