Mask Of Zorro (G)
Lightly raced sort. Encouraging fourth in a strong C&D maiden on reappearance and improved to justify support up in trip on handicap debut over C&D last month, scoring by 3¼ lengths from Nowyouvebinandunit, kept up to work. Promises to mak…

Weaver's Answer (G)
[P]
Placed on three of his 4 starts last season and made a pleasing-enough return when third in a 6-runner handicap at Ffos Las (23.9f, good) 53 days ago, kept on run-in. Should give his running again back over a slightly shorter trip.

Ferret Jeeter (G)
[T]
Lightly raced for age and ran out an emphatic winner on handicap debut over C&D in May. Fell early in his follow-up bid here but quickly back on track when winning at Ffos Las (23.9f) in June. Can go well fresh and one to consider on first…

El Bandido Pancho (G)
FAV
Progressive sort landed a double when successful at Ffos Las (20f) on return and improved again in defeat when runner-up over the same C&D (under a penalty) last time. Could be more to come.

Bredon Hill Dart (G)
[P]
Took little interest on chase debut but quickly reverted to hurdles, got off the mark in 7-runner handicap at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good to soft) in June. Drops back in distance on reappearance and this looks a stronger race on paper.

Grey D'alco (G)
Made the frame on a couple of occasions as a juvenile hurdler but has completely lost his form, finished well beaten on first start of season over C&D last month.

Nowyouvebinandunit (M)
[V1]
Maiden has returned in good heart but again didn't look entirely straightforward when chasing home Mask of Zorro over C&D last time, travelling as well as any but outbattled. Reopposes that rival on better terms but remains to be seen if m…

Dawn's Desire (M)
Has shown little at long odds in maiden hurdles. 4 lb out of the weights for handicap debut and only considered if market expects better upped in trip.
