Handicapper's nap

Runswick Bay(12.41 Taunton)

Ran to a decent level when chasing home Bravemansgame at Exeter this month and should make a bold bid to go one better.

Ace tipster

Hey Bud (2.11 Taunton)

Shaped with so much promise on reappearance that he is worth another chance despite his flop last time. Cheekpieces on.
Keith Melrose

Newmarket nap

Australis (6.00 Chelmsford)

Useful stayer who had no chance from a wide draw in the Cesarewitch and blew out well for this on the Al Bahathri on Tuesday.
David Milnes

Speed figures

Pearl Beach (6.30 Chelmsford)

On the upgrade and scored decisively over course and distance three days ago. Can complete a quick hat-trick despite carrying a penalty.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Dave And Bernie (2.41 Taunton)

Won in Ireland this summer and made excellent start for new stable last month, scoring at Ludlow. Up in grade but could have untapped potential over this longer trip.

Dark Horse

Mongol Emperor (2.33 Lingfield)

Ran well for a long way at Newbury against some decent rivals last time out. This is a weaker race and point form suggests that heavy ground will suit.
