FARANDAWAY's second-placed finish behind Bob Mali at Ayr in August sets a decent standard and, assuming the son of Far Above has thrived at home since, he could be hard to beat with the ground conditions to suit. Hi Lord also showed promise when he filled the runner-up spot on his racecourse debut at Hamilton last month and, with improvement likely, he rates the chief threat to the selection. Genius Mistake completes the shortlist.

Grant Tuer's FARANDAWAY looked to have more to offer when runner-up at Ayr last time out so gets the vote in this fair juvenile maiden having been gelded since. Genius Mistake is next on the list on the back of her good Wolverhampton second, with Hi Lord not discounted either if, as expected, building on his debut Hamilton second.

Hi Lord made an encouraging debut when runner-up late last month and is second choice but FARANDAWAY is selected to break his duck.

This could revolve around the top two in the handicap and while Kyber Crystal is a notably strong contender at this level these days, FORTUNATE STAR has more experience of the undulations of this course and shades preference given he is a previous C&D winner off an 11lb higher mark. Too Much Too Young also tends to go well here and could be the surprise package.

KYBER CRYSTAL arrives in good nick and rates just the pick of the weights so is fancied to resume winning ways. C&D scorer Fortunate Star is next on the list, with another course winner Too Much Too Young also worthy of consideration in this open handicap.

Preference is for KYBER CRYSTAL, who benefited from wind surgery in the summer. Fortunate Star rates the main danger.

LENNOX had more in hand than the winning margin suggests when he emerged a cosy winner under a confident ride from this jockey at Southwell last month. Back on turf, this lightly-raced three-year-old appeals strongly. Local Arms takes a drop in class and is an attractive alternative to the selection on these terms. King's Scholar and Clansman command respect too.

LENNOX had a bit up his sleeve when scoring at Southwell and with this longer trip also a positive he looks the way to go. Clansman is weighted to have a big say and heads the list of dangers, with in-form duo King's Scholar and Local Arms also in the picture.

The stiffer test should suit King's Scholar but LENNOX, who delivered what he'd long promised on Tapeta last time, is given the nod.

SIR GARFIELD defeated a subsequent winner at Ayr at the beginning of the month and a 2lb rise looks more than fair. The three-year-old will have different conditions to contend with here, but having won on soft ground over C&D in July, he ought to go very close. Homer Stokes arrives in search of a hat-trick after notching up a brace of C&D successes and with the aid of Joe Leavy's 3lb claim in the plate, he can go well. Veteran Desert Dream is another to consider.

It's been a while since BELTANE last got his head in front but he's fallen a long way down the weights as a consequence (now 16 lb below last winning mark) and has a fighting chance of reversing C&D placings with Homer Stokes on these revised terms, having finished 1¾ lengths behind that rival on his penultimate start. Homer Stokes is bidding for the hat-trick and, armed with a willing attitude, he can be expected to give it a good shot. Rwenearlytheredad and Sir Garfield are others to consider.

This looks a tight handicap, with HOMER STOKES fancied to complete a C&D hat-trick at the main expense of Sir Garfield.

Lightly raced over staying trips on the Flat, CAPTAIN POTTER proved far too strong for the reopposing Tarbat Ness (second) over this C&D recently and is fancied to confirm his superiority despite a 4lb rise in the handicap. The latter, although difficult to win with, has been a model of consistency and looks set to claim more minor honours. The bigger threat may come from Bonne Vitesse, who also defeated Tarbat Ness at Carlisle in May.

CAPTAIN POTTER and Bonne Vitesse are very closely matched having both beaten the re-opposing Tarbat Ness by similar margins and on similar terms last time out. Preference is for Brian Ellison's charge, who gained his verdict over Tarbat Ness in a C&D handicap earlier this month and will likely hold a fitness edge over Bonne Vitesse, who has been absent since the spring. Catrake Force failed to fire last time but is probably worth another chance and she is third choice.

This looks pretty weak and CAPTAIN POTTER (nap) may well be able to defy a 4lb rise. Old rival Tarbat Ness is next best.

COUNT D'ORSAY has been revitalised over the last 12 months and, having edged out Broken Spear to score by a head here 10 days ago, the gelding's commendable attitude could be the key to him upholding the form to grant his trainer back-to-back wins in this race. Hour By Hour has already enjoyed an excellent season and is another to seriously consider.

Last-time-out winners HOUR BY HOUR and Count d'Orsay are the obvious starting points. The latter is a talented sprinter on his day and was game when edging out Broken Spear over C&D recently but it's been something of an up-and-down campaign for the 8-y-o. Conversely, Hour By Hour has, save for a below-par display at Pontefract in July (too free that day), barely put a foot wrong this season and his latest success at Haydock was his best performance yet. Princess Alex makes each-way appeal.

Knicks has claims but HOUR BY HOUR has been in flying form on similar ground this autumn and is tipped to defy a further 6lb rise.

CROCODILE POWER has a lot going for him on the back of a string of consistent efforts and has a solid chance of adding a third C&D win to his portfolio based on his proven liking for this venue. Happier is another with an affinity for this track and can go well from a handy draw. Although a 13-race maiden, La Boo has shown flashes of ability and could provide some each-way value.

The vote goes to CROCODILE POWER, who landed back-to-back C&D handicaps prior to finishing a solid fourth at Chelmsford where he probably would've gone closer had things panned out a little better. On that evidence he remains on a feasible mark and gets the nod ahead of the Tim Easterby-trained pair, Canaria Queen and Happier. If Travel Candy takes her chance (due to run at Redcar on Monday) she will also be a threat.

White Umbrella is respected, but CROCODILE POWER can make is 3-3 over C&D having not had the breaks on the AW last time.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
